B Jax and Vitters have really been slumping. And when does Aaron Schaffer make his way to Tenessee? I alos predict that in 2011, Thomas Diamond is pitching in the big leagues, but more than likely, not for the Cubs.

With his relationship with Randy Bush ... I think there's a decent chance that, if the situation is equal, he'll stick with the Cubs and get a shot. Now, if someone is guaranteeing him a chance to do something big, then all bets are off, but I like the Cubs chances of utilizing Diamond in the near future, at the very least, giving him a decently long look.

Suarez and Leverton are both having solid seasons out of the pen. Granted, only 20 or so innings, but so far so good. I wouldn't mind seeing either guy in Daytona (along with maybe Latham), although it partly depends on what the cubs outlook is. If they don't view either guy as possible rotation guys, then I wouldn't mind seeing them moved along. If they do, then keeping them at Low A for awhile to give them a shot win a space opens is okay for me (granted, Morla is in the same boat). Hard for me to see Leverton or Latham as rotation arms anymore, but it's also hard for them to fit into Daytona.

They pulled him from Peoria too early, especially considering the lack of offensive talent on the team.
