Prospect Profile: Willson Contreras


A couple days ago I profiled the number one overall hitting prospect in the Cubs system and made the lucky guy LF Billy McKinney. When it comes to the second overall prospect, the name is much more accustomed to being up toward the top of prospect boards. Willson Contreras.

Prospect Profile: Billy McKinney

As 2015 comes to an end, it is time for the end of the year hitting prospects list. There have been quite a few changes from the midseason list, and this time to go along with the new OOTV, I will cover each prospect individually over the next couple weeks. Starting with the first overall prospect on the Out of the Vines Top Hitting Prospects list, Billy McKinney.

The New Out of the Vines

It's been almost a year now from when I first started Out of the Vines and I have only made a few posts. They have been almost entirely focused on front office work (trades and prospects). A lot of my focus has been on major writing and research projects that take a lot of time; time that I don't necessarily have very often. Being a full time student at Ball State University takes a lot out of you. 

Starting now I am planning on writing much more simple and shorter pieces that are about quick ideas I have and not as much big picture items. You can expect to see a lot more "quick hits" of what I am thinking about at that time.

With this new version of OOTV you can expect to see a few posts per week and much easier reads. I can't wait for this new way of writing while still expressing my opinions and love of the Chicago Cubs.
