The set has 220 cards but only four of them feature players with Cubs affiliate teams. Two years ago there were 15 Cubs cards and last year there were ten. Having just four this year is a result of good prospects being brought to the bigs and others being traded.
Dylan Cease was traded to the White Sox in the Jose Quintana deal. The other three are still in the Cubs organization. They are all pitchers, too. Hopefully one or two of them will pan out (and I hope Cease doesn't!).
Jose Albertos of the AZL Cubs? Wow, they're digging deep there. He's got a good arm, but he's years away from the show.
ReplyDeleteChecked out Clifton's Twitter. Our religious differences aside, he looks to be a quality guy. his 2017 stats don't look as good.
