2360441, Chicago has evolved into a great pitching and defense team
Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Aug-20-14 02:28 PM
That SHORTSTOP is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...maybe the best I've
seen since Profar played for Curacao in 05 (I think it
was 05)

And he's SMALL, which mean its skill, and he hasn't
peaked physically

And that Biggie Smalls looking kid has SUPER mound
control, poise

And those closer?!??! Good lord.

all three of them (Biggie,
the closer kid, and the shortstop) are all tiny and
12 years old, I think...so they haven't hit their
growth spurts, which is what you scout for

But man...that Shortstop

He's got balance, timing, a good arm, instincts you
can't teach...his favorite player is Tulowitzki, which
means you can tell son loves the game

Interestingly, Chicago's biggest problem is offense now

That Pierce Jones kid has definitely suffered from
that early tear, because now he thinks he can hit
everything out of the park, and pitches have adjusted
and have him chasing stuff

For all the talk of their "athleticism" they are
winning with pitching, defense and contact hitting.

Their speed puts pressure on defenses, but they aren't
raking the ball anymore
