Outfielder Eloy Jiménez is the No. 5 prospect in baseball according to Baseball America’s updated midseason rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Solid haul for the Sox. Two top 50-75 prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Anthony Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Solid haul for the Sox. Two top 50-75 prospects. Ahh Jimenez is one of the top prospects in all of baseball with 40 HR power. Cease could be a #2 someday. Cubs sent too much over in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs sent too much over in my opinion. I thought the same. Sox now have 8 of the top 65 prospects according to MLB.com... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Anthony Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Q has been up and down his year, good contract though. A lot of Cubs fans on Twitter are shocked, Jimenez was supposed to be their future jewel. Guess their pitching, or lack thereof, forced their hand.

00Rocket28 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm disappointed we gave up Eloy. I guess we're in the "win now" mode while we have Rizz, KB, Russell, Baez, etc. under team control. I still look for us to move Schwarber or Happ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Rocket28 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I guess this means the Cubs are more sold on Hayward, Happ and Schwarber in the OF. At least on Heyward and Happ. Maybe they really are intending on going after Harper when he becomes a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Does this really improve the Cubs pitching all that much? Arrieta, Hendricks, Lester, and Lackey have all been average at best when they've been healthy. Quintana is having his worst season (statistically) of his career.

Narrows the gap with Milwaukee, I think that's all they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All State Baseball Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 He went 13-12 with a 3.20 ERA last season and he's 4-8 with a 4.49 ERA and you trade all that for him? I could understand if it was Verlander or Gray but Quintana? You have to be kidding me....What are you thinking Theo? WOW.....:no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All State Baseball Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 His last 7 starts 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10.13 K/9...He's also under contract until 2020 Have to be unloading players to go all in on Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
