In a change from the tiresome (if still totally understandable) discourse surrounding the Cubs’ big club, the minor league system continues to get loads of love. That includes predictions from Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of the Pipeline Podcast, both of whom lavished praise on the organization’s up-and-comers. And these aren’t two dudes talking out their backsides just to gas people up, they know their stuff.
Though more than a few Cubs fans more or less gave up on Pete Crow-Armstrong after [checks notes] a whopping 19 plate appearances, the talent is clearly still there.
