You can’t throw a rock on #BaseballProspectTwitter these days without hitting a Willson Contreras superlative, and for good reason. The young, super-athletic catcher is looking like the Next Next Next Next Next Big Thing for a Cubs roster that has already exceeded its quota for big things. And if the stockpile of talent in the organization wasn’t enough, even the unique spelling of his name taunts the opposition by flaunting one of the extra L’s his parent club intends to continue leaving behind.
As a noted pedant, I find it somewhat poetic that Contreras has burst onto the scene not long after the Cubs jettisoned another young catcher with L issues in his name.
