In this episode of the Growing Cubs Podcast, Greg and Jimmy come out swinging on the Houston Astros and Rob Manfred. Then, on a lighter note, they discuss Nico Hoerner's arms and whether or not he could start at 2nd Opening Day (13:12), followed by speculation on David Ross's ability to coach prospects (25:05). They end the second half of the episode talking about FanGraphs top 100 prospect list (34:00), which Cubs affiliate they are excited to watch, including the Iowa Cubs rotation (40:20), and how the Iowa Cubs depth could help boost an older Cubs rotation headed by Jon Lester (50:15).
