Great news, gotta love them catchers who can rake.

[Chris]

Didn't see this one coming. Corresponding move at West Tenn?

[Chris]

Thanks for the additional info.

 

Congratulations Jake!

[Laura]

Good for Fox!

[Chris]

I just got off the phone with Randy. He will be joining the Iowa Cubs tomorrow! Randy did say that he will continue his journal through the rest of the season!

 

CONGRATULATIONS RANDY!!!!!

[Chris]

Soto to the big leagues to help during the suspension.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hopefully Soto then will be promoted to the Cubs during Barrett's suspensio (even though Carrie doesn't think it will happen in that link).

 

Good for Fox, much deserved.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Is it official? That seems like the obvious move.

[Laura]

Awesome and well-deserved!

 

(though I'm sorry I won't get to see him in Jackson next month)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Awesome, much deserved. He's not going with Clay?

Unofficially official. I was told that Reyes will join the I-Cubs tomorrow with Wells so that he can take Soto's spot who will be filling in during Michael's suspension.

Ok. I was just looking at TX's link and Carrie was saying Nevin would back up Hank White during the suspension. Didn't think it'd be likely, especially with now 3 catcher on Iowa's roster.

[E.J.]

Wow. Awesome!!! Good things happening in the minors for the Cubs. Too bad the same can't be said for the big club.

[Chris]

He's not going with Clay?

 

Apparently not. I wouldn't have been surprised on a Rapada promotion, but I'm not hearing any word on Clay going to AAA.

[Flames24Rulz]

Congrats Randy!!!

[Outshined_One]

Yay my prediction came true.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

hooray

 

Please keep hitting at a more age appropriate level, Fox.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

LHP Donnie Veal

C Jake Muyco

SS Jonathon Mota

LHRP Ed Campusano (to AA, will participate in the MWL All-Star game first)

:( never got to see The Don in Peoria.

[Laura]

Eek, me neither.

 

The Chiefs roster currently stands at 21 players and Peoria expects to add four players before the first pitch on Thursday night.

 

I wonder who will be heading to Peoria.

[Brian]

Doubtful, but I wonder if they might just start Samardzija in Peoria.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I merged all three of today's promotions threads into one and summarized all the promotions in the first post.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Campusano's (Peoria's closer) double promotion to West Tenn leads me to believe Clay Rapada is headed up to AAA soon enough.

Congratulations to all the players getting promotions today...from the reading here and day-to-day watching, I know they are certainly well deserved.

 

I'm really glad that Campy gets to pitch in the all-star game on Tuesday, though. We'll miss him here a bunch. After his injury last year, he's really bounced back to be great.

 

We'll be at the MWL All-Star Game in Davenport on Tuesday. My husband's already starting to talk about Jim's Rib Haven. Hopefully we'll get some good pictures and a great game :)
