[QUOTE="IanKEvans2, post: 1222875, member: 12945"] Us Cub fans have been spoiled by recent prospects which have, for the most part have, or already look to be panning out (Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Russell, Schwarber, Hendricks, Contreras, etc...) Not that I don't think Torres has great potential, but fanbases tend to overrate their own prospects (not unlike college basketball recruiting). Cubs examples over the past 10 years: Felix Pie (#29, 2006), Donald Veal (#26, 2007), Josh Vitters (#31, 2010), Brett Jackson (#44, 2012). Who the heck is Donald Veal? [/QUOTE]
