How could anyone think Jimmy Buffet Night was a good idea?

Marc Huley[/url]"]I’ll See Your Moustakas and Raise You a Vitters

It’s going to take some time but Vitters remains the Cubs’ third baseman of the future. The same can be said for Moustakas...

Either the Cubs got really lucky or Marc Huley is not a good writer.

How could anyone think Jimmy Buffet Night was a good idea?

I can imagine there were some obvious but good concessions tie-ins.

1B M. Hoffpauir 3/5, 2 R, 2B (29), RBI

His line is now .364 / .388 / .718 / 1.106

 

58% of his hits have been for extra bases.

 

Extrapolating to 500 ABs, he'd be on a pace to hit 70 doubles.

 

Dare I say...

These are a total rip-off of the Peoria Buffet night shirts from the year that Jody was in Peoria. Conincedence?!? I think not.

Brandon Guyer has an .875 OPS now in the MWL which is especially fantastic considering he was at .740 before the all-star break.

 

If he qualified in at bats (he's got to be close, there's a guy with 50 more at bats who's on the league leaders list), he'd be 5th in OPS in the pitcher-friendly MWL.

When is Lee's contract up so we can get Micah to play everyday? And finally not be overpaying for a first baseman.

How has Matt Cerda been doing?

How has Matt Cerda been doing?

 

98 at bats in the AZL: .276/.363/.378/.740, 14 BB, 15 K

 

He's been playing C here and there but primarily a DH.
