Seeking6 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I can never fault the kids for getting their $.....but for us IU baseball fans this one kind of stings. Colson Montgomery already up to #15 best prospect in minor leagues and has a real strong chance to be called up later this year by White Sox. Man I wish he was a soph at IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to see him play in the 2A State Championship game when he was a freshman. Silver Creek was in the 3A game, which was held immediately after. Even then, his swing was a thing of beauty Also got to see him play a couple of times in the basketball regional. Darn good on the court as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Elly De La Cruz, SS/3B, Reds (No. 10): Based on four of the five tools, you could make a case for De La Cruz in the top five, even the top three. He’s a switch-hitter with at least plus power. He has plus-plus speed and the arm for shortstop, third or center. So what gives? A 30.8 percent strikeout rate at High-A and Double-A last season. The 21-year-old could well mash his way to a decent enough average because of his exceptional exit velocities, but history tells us hitters who struggle with contact will find the going even tougher as they climb the ladder, so that gave us enough pause to put De La Cruz at the 10th spot. https://www.mlb.com/news/top-100-prospects-who-are-generating-buzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 In the 70s and 80s WGN broadcast virtually every Cub game... No blackouts...

Well ESPN needs to plug Votto in at DH, move Myers to 1B, and put Friedl in RF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
