It wasn’t all that long ago that Albert Almora was one of the “Core Four” prospects in the Cubs system. Between him, Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, and Kris Bryant, there was a projection down the road that made the Cubs faithful who believed in the rebuild feel a whole lot better about the entire process.
It seems that time has evolved to the point, though, where Almora is forgotten. And because he has the least sexy tools of all of the prospects, it feels like he is starting to get a bit of the Brett Jackson treatment…the center field prospect who just hasn’t quite gotten it together.
