No one cares about George Springer in this thread. He's a good player. Go be butthurt in the stro thread if you need validation on which player is better

Sorry Bryant isn't the best prospect since Mickey Mantle like you Cubs fans act.

this inferiority complex isnt a good look for you

if you have an issue with kris bryant's hype, you should send baseball america, mlb.com, baseball prospectus etc an angry email outlining your frustration

Springer is 25 years old and already has 20 MLB HRs. Im not even sure why you want to compare him to a 23 yr old without an MLB plate appearance

Your response

The Bryant lovefest is comical. Last year, Springer was a top prospect with K issues. Good looking kid but will strike out alot. sort of playing him down.

But Bryant has the same K rate and doesn't have the ability to steal bases. Springer is an elite CF. Unfortunately, plays RF for now.

Springer > Bryant



What's the point? You want to someone hop in a time machine and call Springer a fricking legit bat and prospect?

Springer was a high draft pick, highly thought of prospect, the most hyped MiLB call up last year.

So again, what's your point?

...as a prospect.

where did I say Bryant wasn't legit?

I'm talking about the hype. I understand you guys don't know how to act because this is the first time in a while you've had these type prospects, but we were just having this discussion last year.

My point is the hype is overkill. We saw the same type player last year in Springer. But Cubs fans are ready to pounce on that because we all know thay Bryant is obviously the 2nd coming of Mantle. In reality, no, he's not.

I think I can comment on this if I want. I'm not talking about this thread, but all the talking heads.

I am a lifelong Cubs fan and I think the talking heads are insane. I think they will be greatly improved and have a shot at a decent record. I don't predict the playoffs this year though. 1 year away in my opinion.

I agree with you if the prospects pan out. Lifelong Reds fan here.

Just for the sake of conversation and hoping Cubs fan doesn't take offense.

I thought it was a good discussion.

Where did I say that you said bryant wasn't legit?

What you're saying doesn't even make sense.

Is this your poor attempt to troll cub fans since you've allowed Lester to rile you up for years now over your once prized, now mediocre farm system?

I think the saying is, "U mad?"

I agree with what you are saying. Since it is the Cubs led by Theo Epstein, Bryant is this can't miss prospect when in fact he is no better than Springer. As I stated earlier prospects are just that until proven otherwise.As a longtime Reds fan I've heard about the second coming many times, from Paul Householder to Austin Keatns to Homer Bailey and now Billy Hamilton and many in between. It gives you hope I guess.

This is a stupid argument by prime, people were blowing their load over springer too, it's just died down because he didn't have a trout like season. This happens with all prospects who don't blow up their first season, but to say springer didn't get any hype is crazy.

I can agree with that, but a Cub, Dodger, Yankee, Met, prospect will get more hype than an Astro, Mariner, Royal, Blue Jay prospect might.

Not even close compared to what's going on now. All I'm saying is that it's overkill

No shite

This coming from a guy and fan base who were going nuts when Domingo Santana was called up and was going to be the 2nd coming of Richard hidalgo
