Yeah I saw this on cubbie crib yesterday. Like you said hope it turns out better this time around

Meh he's better than a 4th outfielder. Good signing though.

At what? Running? He has a long way to go to be anything better than a 4th outfielder.

4th outfielder.

Didn't you say the same thing about Tyler Colvin?

Anyway, I like the move. Especially since it is only costing the Cubs 1.5 mil as opposed to the 10 mil it cost them to get Samardjiza.

I was kinda hoping to see how he graded out at the Combine, but still good for him and the Cubs are VERY high on him.

Yea, a .312 OBP, .798 OPS and 25.5% K rate screams everyday player.

The truth is no one knows how good this kid is going to be. All we know is that he is a very good athlete.

I learned to not hold my breath when it comes to Cubs prospects a long time ago. Or the team winning for that matter.

I agree with James.

I've watched Szczur play both sports for a long time and he is a great, great person too.

But we just don't know how it's going to turn out. I hope he plays well and becomes a player whose baseball card I will be able to collect. After all, I am going to need a new guy once Jeter's playing days are done.
