And if you have any Cubs roster questions, fire away. So if Bocock isn't looking like the answer offensively, who would you say has the most potential on your ballclub, who's getting AB's now? To put it another way, as a Cubs fan, who should I be worrying about facing in, say, 2-3 years?

If we're talking shortstop only

Fred Lewis might be a decent major league regular. There's some promise in the bullpen with Threets, Wilson, and Valdez.

Other than that, not much that you'll see in this game. Our prospects are not MLB ready.

by John Paulies on Apr 8, 2008 10:56 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah,

because of last season and battling with the Brewers. Plus, this season it looks like the first three will be a lot more relevant to us than Pujols. We've ... *knock on wood* ... actually had some limited success against Pujols recently.

I can't recall right now because I've completely blocked the 2007 NLDS out of my memory, but anyone who pitched well against us or hit well....Stephen Drew for one...then again, general consensus seems to be we beat outselves (I'll keep Bocock out of this) in that series. So there's more anger directed at guys like Soriano and Ramirez and DeRosa and Lee who just had terrible series than anyone on the other team.
