And? All teams graduate prospects. Most teams are able to replenish the farm. Axelrod (who isn't much of a prospect) and Reed haven't graduated yet either.

I only have issue with Beckham. I'm okay with Morel's timetable. Sale was and is ready as a reliever. Axelrod, Reed, and Santiago were primarily September callups or spot starters.

Source indicates that the CBA holdup has moved OFF of hard slots for the draft, but capping draft and int'l spending is in play. 9 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply |

Callis is a boob and a die-hard Cub fan to boot.

That's nice. Doesn't make the statement any less true.

Cubbie fans have been decrying the Sox farm system for years and often claiming that the Cubbie farm system was teaming with hot prospects.

And that raises an interesting point. Do the Cubs have a prospect in their minor league system as good as Addison Reed? If so, who is it?

Reed is a fine prospect, but he's merely a reliever. After him, there is pretty much nothing. Callis isn't the only one noting the Sox having the worst system by far right now. |

Aren't the Cubs rumored to be moving McNutt to Boston as compensation for Theo Epstein? |

Dirty, speaking of the Marlins farm system..did you get a chance to watch Brad Hand pitch at all this year?
I played hockey with him as a kid, and played against him in baseball a few times throughout high school (he could absolutely rake). Pretty cool to see him pitch for the Marlins this season, but does he have a chance to be a legitimate major league starter? He had some good starts and some bad ones, but he also jumped from AA to the majors.

Seems to have some control/command issues to iron out from what I can gather, and has middle to back of the rotation potential if things pan out. It looks like he's a legitimate prospect. |
