THAT BILLY MCKINNEY KID IS SOMETHING ELSE

When we got Billy McKinney, he was part of the Chapman deal back when the Yanks sent Aroldis to the Cubs.  We got Adam Warren and some prospects.  McKinney was a throw in, and you know what? The Cubs are regretting it right now because I am convinced that McKinney is the next best thing.

Today McKinney hit a grand slam against the Mets.

It was glorious. 

My point is, as much as this is spring training, this is a kid that has mad potential.  Maybe more than many of the players we have brought over in trades over the last few years.

It's a big one. We have even have written about him in past BYB pieces, so don't think that I just got all excited today because of his grand slam. No. I've been tracking this friggin' kid. I see big things. By the way, read WE LOVE BILLY MCKINNEY AT BYB! 

That was back in November. But that piece will give you a full grasp about our love for this guy.

Carry on.
