Happ and bote are low expectation players.Not even close, with Happ and Bote around.
You guys get insane with criticizing that guy.

This team is so badHey, at least we improved to 2 runs & 6 hits today.
Yep, it was pretty much just a money dump for Cubs/Ricketts.Padres absolutely fleeced the Cubs in the Darvish trade. Davies is garbage and we didn't even get good prospects.

Prospects were rated lower because they are pretty young/raw. They have huge upside. Judging the trade 3 weeks into the season seems a bit premature.Padres absolutely fleeced the Cubs in the Darvish trade. Davies is garbage and we didn't even get good prospects.
I know I should hate them but they are a really fun team and I find myself rooting for them a bit. I'm a little bit of a bandwagon Padres fan this year but mostly just because I bet on their win total over and I absolutely HATE the Dodgers.Im a sox fan until the rickets sell. I was born on the south side anyway.

None of the four were even in their Top 10 prospect lists. Padres had 4 players in the Top 100 and brilliant Cubs management couldn't even get 1 of them for thr Cy-Young runner up next year.Prospects were rated lower because they are pretty young/raw.

Need to save some of these homers for the rest of the week.
Again, these prospects are projected to be big league ready 2024 at earliest, hence their lower rating. We aren’t going to be able to fully grade this trade for many years. The cubs system is in desperate need of more talent and got an influx.None of the four were even in their Top 10 prospect lists.

Don't forget they alos traded Caritini who is probably the best hitting backup catcher in baseball.
The World Series in 2016 was nice but this front office has been a dumpster fire for the last 3 or 4 years.
Just shows how flawed this offense is. When they are hitting the ball out of the park it is fun thing to see but this offense is not dynamic enough to manufacture runs when they aren't hitting homers. They also did this against a guy with just 7 career MLB starts in 3 seasons and some backend bullpen arms they threw out there to finish out a game they were not going to win once they blew it open in the 5th.
The rankings are based of future potential, not what level or how good they are at 18. If they base it off your method some 28 year old for the Iowa Cubs would be the best prospect every year.Again, these prospects are projected to be big league ready 2024 at earliest, hence their lower rating.

I stand by my statement, couldn't even get 1 of their top 10 prospects for the Cy Young runner up.
Epstein and Hoyer did a phenomenal rebuild but the last 2 or 3 years have been a disaster.
Or we could just enjoy the day.
