Thanks for the update Mr. Cashner. Do you plan on signing any time soon?

yeah but it was off some chick though

[Outshined_One]

Michael Brenly is in the lineup for Boise!

 

:yahoo:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Vitters singles in his first at bat. No Flaherty in the lineup tonight.

Updates, plz.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

0 for 2 with 2 K's for Mike, 1/2 in SB attempts

 

Vitters is 2 for 3 with a double. If he keeps this up, he's going to be in Peoria very soon. He's at .361/.395/.555/.950 in 38 PA's.

 

Rebel Ridling is staying hot by going 2 for 3 with a double as well. .407/.467/.667/1.134 in 30 PA's for Rebel.

What kind of trade value does VItters have at this point? Could he net us a big gun like NeedsABathia?

[Outshined_One]

His trade value is low. The risk that he'll never see the majors is high enough that pretty much every team won't part with a star player in order to get him. The possibility that he could turn out to be really good is evident enough that the Cubs would likely be smart to hang onto him for another year to see whether he is the real deal or not.

 

In other words, I don't think he's going anywhere for the time being.

Which is how it should be. He's the only hitter in our system at the time that looks to have any real upside, so they'd be smart to hang on to him until he's at least least played a couple seasons in the minors and gets close to the majors.

Awesome, on both accounts.

[TruffleShuffle]

wait that is the guy's real name, rebel?

[Outshined_One]

Vitters finishes the day 2/4 with a walk, a run, and a double.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Can I get Jericho Jones updates with my Michael Brenly updates, plz. :D

[sneakypower]

and dont forget sonny gray!

[imb]

wait that is the guy's real name, rebel?

 

Yeah, he's a big country boy from the smallest of small towns. Population under 900 if I remember right.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

and dont forget sonny gray!

 

He hasn't signed yet. Those updates are easy. You'll just have to check the Vandy box scores next year.

i have a real hard time getting into the dominican summer league stats. how do i know if they're any good? it's not like we have draft position to look at to know whether a guy is highly-regarded, and as far as i know, there aren't any real bonus babies. some guy named mejia has good numbers, but he's 22 years old. another guy named morales is hitting pretty well and is only 19, but he's got 12 errors and is listed as an outfielder (!!) ramon reyes is 19 years old and has a 0.47 ERA and 28 K's in 19 IP... cool i guess. the offensive numbers seem pretty pedestrian whereas some of the pitchers on DSL cubs 1 have pretty good numbers. but what type of park do they play in? do they use milk cartons for gloves like felix pie used to do?

 

i guess my point is that i have no idea what goes on down there, and no clue how to glean any sort of information from looking at their stats.
