That's what we get for letting you handle the negotiations, Fisch :slap:

As most predicted there wasn't much to worry about with this one. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heyman/22711029/cubs-close-to-deal-with-no-2-pick-bryant

Apparently the Cubs found a few more pennies to spend that they said a while back they didn't have. :thinking:

You arent possibly suggesting that ownership and management haven't been completely truthful about the state of the team finances are you?

Nope! Because I believe everything that is said to me by everyone as truthful and fact. Especially politicians, salesmen, and Cena. :lmao:

What's Bryant's ETA to the bigs?

A very nice write-up by our friends at World Series Dreaming. The Cubs now have 4 position players in the Baseball Prospectus Top 40

What's Bryant's ETA to the bigs?

Honestly, I think it's really going to come down if the Cubs decide to keep him at third or move him to a corner outfield spot. He's got the arm for either, but some feel his ability to read the ball may be better suited for the outfield. If that's the case, he loses a tiny bit of offensive value because it's easier to find raw power in the outfield. Still, most experts feel a late-2014/early-2015 call-up is likely

What's Bryant's ETA to the bigs?

I think most optimistic was end of 2015, but I could be wrong. I think where he ends this year will tell us a lot of the time table. If he makes it Daytona than end of 2014 might be a possibility. If he is in Kane County I don't see how makes it to the bigs any quicker than 2015.

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms with first-round draft choice 3B Kris Bryant. Bryant will receive a signing bonus of $6,708,400.

cubs actually did pretty good with their amateur draft and signings, and their international signings this year

I think if he starts out in AA next year, we could see him by mid season if he playing well

DO WE GET TO KEEP THE 12TH ROUND PICK?

Well, gee. Glad after all this negotiating that the Cubs couldn't even keep the 12th rounder that so many were pining for. Whoops, just hope Bryant is all that he's cracked up to be.
