Jimmy has followed Cubs prospects since the Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Cashner trade. Since then, he’s obsessed over Josh Vitters, hasn’t missed an MLB draft, and frequently loses sleep thinking about undervalued prospects in the system. Besides writing for North Side Bound, Jimmy co-hosts the Growing Cubs Podcast, a weekly podcast on everything related to the Cubs minor league system. You can find him on Twitter @nelliganjimmy and the Growing Cubs Podcast on Instagram @growingcubspod.
