It’s been a while – a long, long while – since Chicago Cubs fans had a big-time arm to get excited about. Don’t get me wrong, I think guys like Duane Underwood Jr. and Adbert Alzolay could very well wind up playing a role for the big league club down the road. But neither of them are an ace. At least not in my eyes.
Brailyn Marquez? This guy’s a whole different story. Just 20 years of age, the southpaw is putting the finishing touches on the best season of his blossoming professional career.
