That would be the earliest.

He's Sam Fuld if we're lucky.

If he could be league average on offense he'd be a 4 WAR player. If he could be above average he'd be really special.

In other words, Almora still stands a very good chance for being much more than Sam Fuld.

While late 2016 would likely be the earliest he might reach the majors for anything resembling regular play, I wonder if Ron's question about Almora's earliest arrival could be off by about a year.  If Almora does reasonably well at the plate for the remainder of the minor league season, it might not be out of the question to add him to the major league roster in September to serve as a defensive replacement during the stretch drive.

Ryan McNeil has quietly gotten interesting.  3rd round pick from the Blackburn/Underwood draft, had the surgery.  Came back last year and had 8.4 ERA at Boise.  Started wild and slow this season, but overall he's now at 2.73 ERA in 53 innings, with 49K/20BB/2HR/53IP, and 19K/6BB/19IP over last 10 games. 

I imagine the injury is enough behind now that he can focus on pitching and getting outs. 

Could be interesting to see how he gets used next year, and whether he steps it up.

Conway also from that draft, and seems to be healthy.  While not dominant this year, he certainly wasn't bad considering how little he has pitched in the last three years.  He is another that will bear watching next season.

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler  31m31 minutes ago
Took a while, but SS Aramis Ademan ($2 million) and OF Jonathan Sierra ($2.5 million) have now signed their contracts with the Cubs.

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler  29m29 minutes ago
Ademan was our No. 12 international prospect for July 2. The Cubs were significantly higher on Sierra than the rest of the industry.

Thanks, Blue.  I'd been wondering, it seemed until now the only reported signings had been the panama catcher and the korean LF/1B, so I'd wondered if some of those signings weren't going to happen, especially after the 3B didn't happen and the pitcher didn't happen.  Will be interesting to see if they make some additional signings, Cuban or otherwise.

At first I thought it was because of Fowler but it might make sense with Soler's injury.  Against a lefty you could put Bryant in RF, Baez at 3B, and Castro at 2B I suppose.
