I feel very comfortable predicting that Morel will not be bagging groceries in four years.

Aquino was never a top prospect. He literally came out of left field.

Do you watch the games or just look at the box score daily?

I know. Morel wasn't a prospect this year, but if he was he would have certainly been in the top 100. Morel's breakout happened last year. The magnitude of this year's upswing is a fluke, but the writing was on the wall that he is a good hitter.

Pulled a couple of his cards from a blaster of Big League the other day. It was fun.

He’s got a rookie in heritage coming out tomorrow

yeah...I know you know your stuff. Morel was #8 cubs prospect in 2021 in a strong farm system. I'm honestly not really surprised by his breakout.

nice! that royal blue is nice. the border works very well with the cubs colors. (I really like his 2021 bowman sapphire card for that same reason)

Morel Homer, #9.

I love it when a guy who is in a flagship checklist full of bigger rookies, that isn’t supposed to be a big star, becomes one. It’s nice to see it. I was rooting for him last year.

Perhaps. It’s a long season but it will be fun to watch.

I’m a cubs fan so was looking to add a few autos on the cheap before he got called up but never pulled the trigger. Kinda missed that boat.

Big fan. He's going to obviously regress. Partially because that's how things work with outlying small samples... but also because people will pitch him differently. Can he take the walks like he started to in the minors?

35-40% k-rate is what people ignore when you hit 9 HRs in 12 games. They stop ignoring that when you don't. 19:3 K:BB needs to get better. Maybe like 19:6-7? Could probably live with that.

I think ultimately he'll be fine and a lot of fun to watch. I don't know that he's on the cover of the magazine proclaiming the cubs are contenders again (whenever that happens). Utility guy bringing that kind of smile and some pop? Certainly a nice ingredient to have, though.
