Good for him...

The Riot is better.

[Omar]

Nice to see he found a place to play, and play well.

[Post Count Padder]

I've noticed. He was one of my favorite prospects before we traded him.

[Bruno7481]

He has kind of skipped around since leaving the Cubs. Went from Washington, to Cincy, where he spent the majority of the year in AAA, and this offseason signed a minor league deal with TB.

[Twiggy]

I was checking out the Rays on Extra Innings over the weekend as was suprised when I heard his name and that he had hit two home runs as well.

[seanimal]

Good for him.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

He just got a basehit... how do I know, because the freaking yankees are on espn again playing the rays.

[Post Count Padder]

Looks like he's officially been named the starting shortstop:

 

Brendan Harris-SS-Devil Rays Apr. 26 - 11:16 am et

 

 

According to the Tampa Tribune, manager Joe Maddon "finally acknowledged Wednesday" that Brendan Harris "has established himself as the Rays' starting shortstop."

 

Harris has started four straight games at shortstop, with Ben Zobrist relegated to the bench after beginning the year as the starter. "He's played the preponderance of the time, yes, so I think I'd have to consider him the starter at this point," Maddon said. "He's done a nice job and I think he deserves to play more."

I didn't even know Harris could play short.

actually, more people talk about how i talk about being right about rich hill than i actually talk about how i was right about rich hill. by quite a bit.

I mean we all have a lot of hope for these guys. We all get angry when we perceive the Cubs didn't give them a fair shake. I don't think Harris or Hill got one from the Cubs. Until this year, I don't think Rich Hill did. When we have a team the loses 90 every other year, this is a problem.

I believe abuck is on your side on this one.

I know, I am not really trying to argue with him, just trying to point out he does the same with Rich Hill. No biggie.

I don't think it's about a fair shake with those two guys. I mean, it's not like the Cubs gave up on those two-they simply traded them for quality players.

 

In the case of Harris, he had just made it to AAA in 2004, so the team traded him, and at the time both of the primary positions he played (3B and 2B) were blocked.

 

In the case of Hill, he got some at-bats in 2002 (probably should have had a few more), didn't really play in 2003 because the player at his position at the major leagues was playing well, and then was traded for a valuable player.

 

The Cubs certainly have not given some players a fair shake over the last few years, but these two really weren't part of that. They just simply got traded because the Cubs needed a couple of pieces to make playoff runs, and they had value as prospects.

Was Harris in the Nomar trade? He was wasn't he? If so I agree with what you are saying. These two weren't great examples, but it would be nice for once one of our young guys getting 500 at bats uninterrupted. I mean we had Patterson who was the number two prosepct in all of baseball and we couldn't do that? Why the heck not? Because we were going to the playoffs with Damon Buford leading the charge? The way the cubs handle their young players is ridiculous.

You must be reffering to the Murton-Harris trade of 2004. :lol:

small sample size call me in two months. Did I mention how Theriot looks to be the better of Hill and Harris? Nice Job by the Cubs scouts.
