Are these guys going to get time off after the AFL? Or will they be going to winter leagues? I personally think Vitters could use some time off to make sure his wrist is fully healed for next year and for Cashner after racking up a good amount of innings.

castro is 0-2 (pair of ground outs) and vitters is 1-2 (double).

 

i noticed that castro has just 1 error in 25 games. i know he has DH'ed a few games, but that's still very impressive.

 

EDIT - the inning after i post that he makes a throwing error... hahaha

I know Russell has been so up and down through the minors, but he had a good year at AAA and pitched incredibly well in the AFL. Any chance he's a decent lefty out of the pen in the next year or two? His recent success has made the Grabow signing even more intollerable in my mind.

 

Also, am I remembering incorrectly or did Russell get busted for PEDs at the same time Robert Hernandez did?

Russell has been a tremendously frustrating prospect to follow. I mean, low 90's fb (pitch f/x from AFL had him at 90 for average fb I think), and two very good secondary pitches. He just hasn't really put it together, and it seems like the Cubs were a bit frustrated as well (I think Fleita made a comment about how he hasn't found a role yet). Issue has been fb command to work with the rest, by most accounts. I think he has a shot to be a good loogy, but I wonder, if Gaub is in AAA Iowa's pen, if Russell will be in the rotation. I'd like to see him in the rotation one more time.
