I love this stuff; to see a young guy figuring out what he is going to have to do to be good at his work. Especially nice that the work is baseball. Almora sounds like a confident kid who will make the most of what he recognizes is an exceptional opportunity. Thanks, David.
I hate to get all gushy over prospects because the internet does it enough for me, but I’m going to throw a Derek Jeter comp on this guy. In 3 years if I’m wrong I’ll be sad but I’ll only think “that’s what you get for falling for a prospect.” One of my favorite draft prospects in a long time and was really happy that the Cubs FO dug him too.

I’m a natural pessimist but I secretly am excited about the Cubs future…. This guy, baez, castro, rizzo….
