Cubs covet future slugger

Stay in college bro and hope you get drafted by another organization.

Somehow the Cubs will mess this one up, its in their DNA.....

the cubs, say that they will develope their own prince fielder, do they mean because this guy can hit plus the weight that this prospect has? i mean i thought the cubs likes ultra- athletic players? but 240 pounds? that could backfire their plans for the near future for the cubs!!

dodgers are for sale???

astros are for sale??

A 5-foot-11, 240-pounder first baseman? What's wrong with this picture? How many throws will get by his out-stretched glove? Will he clog up the basepath whenever he gets on base? Seems like a pretty big risk to me. And the Cubbies don't have a positive record when they take risks on players such as Milton Bradley.

The Cubbies were impressed that he dropped about 40 pounds from his junior to senior year. Wow! If he keeps that up, he will be another liteweight Cubbie hitter in no time!

Couldn't they just sign Prince if they wanted??? I almost forgot ... the Ricketts are paupers and have nothing left to spend on improving the roster. We have some coin coming off the payroll next year, all we have to do is find some sucker to take Soriano's contract, and we'll be good to go :]

If Prince comes to the North Side, he will be a King!!!

Why would Prince leave the Brewers for the Cubbies? He has more protection in the batting order with the Brewers. The Brewers are also way closer to having the players to win a championship. Also, Wrigley Field is a terrible place to bat in April, especially for a power hitter. Plus all those day games would wear on Fielder.

OMG, like, we are cosmicly intertwined!!! Like, you are so witty. like, I am, too!!! Like, we should be BFF's!!!

the cubs need to develope their own power surge but through their minor system+ the cubs need to stop wasting soo much talent by not falling on the brain wash from boras, if the cubs avoid any hefty deals with boras clients, then there its a posibility that they could really become number one franchise, on developing great players not only one but plenty of good arms plus enough good hitters!!

For a $1M windfall above his draft slot, he can go to an Ivy League school for 20 years. Oh, he's signing alright. But, you'd turn down the cash for the college experience, right?

Really? How tall do you think Jeff Bagwell was? Jimmy Foxx? Steve Garvey? John Kruk, anyone? BTW: Bagwell and Foxx are listed at 6 ft, but they weren't. For this reason, look for Vogelbach to be listed as 6' 0"

None of those four weighed over 200 pounds either.

Bagwell didn't weigh 200 lbs? Kruk? Don't go by the ridiculous listings you obviously reviewed. Bagwell was at least 225 and Kruk had to be in that vascinity, he was pretty fat.

has anyone seen this guy? his power is unbelievable. check him out on you tube on one of the home run contests agains the best of his peers. He annialates them. Home runs in the high 400s with one above 500 feet. He could be a star. Chicago would embrace him.
