We have the 4th youngest lineup in baseball. That's what happens with a young, rebuilding team. You have young players learning to play in the majors, like Abrams and Ruiz, and filler like Dom Smith, Corey Dickerson, and Alex Call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So the light bulb has gone on for Brady House? He must have figured out something right? I also see the Lipscomb seems to be playing some 2B and 1B. Looks like he's officially been moved off 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a number of issues with his back last year, I believe. He'll be up next year, as will Wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, to your point, he’ll get work at 2B and 1B for flexibility. They are taking things slow with House by giving him many days off..as they should. Their plan with him is working. I’d say he’s the best organization story of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, how about the Cubs get interested and give us Matt Mervis and an arm (Porter Hodge). Edited July 31, 2023 by Ball Security 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl05 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Seems like Made is a high upside 20yo SS and Herz looks like a low-floor reliever. Not a bad take for a rental. Edited August 1, 2023 by bcl05 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Beginning to think our fanbase isn't the brightest. The response to the Jeimer trade is nothing but "Fire Rizzo". Both players we got were top 20 prospects in the cubs system. And the cubs received 2 months of Jeimer... It's not a huge splash. But more depth into the system that was near the bottom in all of baseball. Read today that now we're top 5! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s look at it this way, in 2021 they had eight players in the system that had overall values of 45 or greater in MLB Pipeline. Going into next season they could have as many as 24. That assumes that nobody who currently has a 45 falls to 40, but that may only be 2-3 guys. That also includes two guys who are arguably in the top 5 prospects in all of baseball.

@DCGoldPants Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Watched while at Trivia tonight. When Abrams stole 2nd I heard a quiet cheer from more than a couple of tables. Nice back and forth for the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
