About Me
Message from Greg Huss
Somewhere over the course of the last eight years, I became one of the go-to folks for Cubs prospects. I guess that happens when you nerd out, watching hundreds of minor league games each season. Joining forces with three other “prospect guys” seemed like a natural fit and I couldn’t be more excited to continue what I’ve been doing for the better part of a decade – talk prospects with you all!
You can also find my work at Cubs Insider, the Growing Cubs Podcast, and on Twitter @OutOfTheVines.
