Listened to Callis. He compared Santana to Howard. Viewed Mena as the Cubs best CF prospect, Preciada as our best 3B prospect. Comped Caissie to Larry Walker, and said a year from now, it's possible he might be our best OF prospect. Then did the usual Christian Hernandez to Alex Rodrigues comp. Oof...

Care to give a rundown for those of us who haven't had a BA subscription for a year or two?

AZPhil is saying he's talked to some scouts outside of the Padres or Cubs organizations who are also really high on Preciado and have him ranked above Howard. I'm thinking it's more to do with them being waaaaaaay too low on Howard than being enamored with Preciado, but interesting to note nonethele...

It will be interesting to see how they divvy up the SS reps in the former AZL. Preciado/Made/Morel are all there. Would also like to see Pinango make the jump to full season ball, but that's probably pushing it. Rafael Morel probably won't be a SS for long. While his brother's limited offensively t...

So no Padre top 10 prospects pre-Snell trade.

This a horsefeathering terrible return. The Hoyer era starts not with a bang, but a big wet fart noise.

You and me both.

We only have approximate dollar amounts on the 50 biggest bonuses already agreed upon so this information is incomplete but based on that, it appears the Cubs can’t hang with the 6 other teams. The other 6 all have way more than $1 million in bonus space while the Cubs have approximately $650k-$1 m...

16-year-old Cuban outfielder Luis Pino worked out for scouts this week in the Dominican Republic, and ESPN.com’s Enrique Rojas (Spanish language link) reports that the Athletics and Rays are the favorites to land Pino when the international signing window opens on January 15. The Giants, Cubs , Whi...

Do not make Jasson Dominguez angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

I understand that system, but it feels too arbitrary... Just like with the MLB draft, some years will have a generational talent (Wander Franco) at the very top. Why does a team in the AL Central get to pick first that year hypothetically speaking? Just random luck? MLB doesn't like trying new, cre...

https://twitter.com/jaseidler/status/1272913587141578757 I can't say I trust MLB to intelligently run an international draft, but I feel like we hear reports similar to this every year (or close to it) and something has to change. Thanks for sharing that article. Yeah, things can get very messy ove...

i definitely saw that too Agreed. Now if only they could get him to throw that disgusting Harden changeup, we have something. Harden never had close to the velo that Jensen has.

Alec Burlson was rumored by BA to be connected to the Cubs, but he was drafted by StL in the supplemental 2nd round. He signed with the Cardinals for approx Cubs 3rd round slot value ($678,600).

Jensen's got such a crazy arm. Please be a starter by 2022! He has some Rich Harden vibes with his delivery/motions and build i definitely saw that too Agreed.

Looks like Sam Thoresen, a junior RHP from U of Minnesota, signed. https://twitter.com/SamThoresen/status/1272367084094308352 Looks like another one of the big stuff, terrible command/control types that have been added to the system. Get that arm in the pitching lab and see if something can be done.
