I Cubs going against one time top prospect Chris Volstad.

 

And Brett Jackson's back. Grounded into a fielders choice in his first AB. Better than a swinging K.

[Guest]

Geez. Alberto Cabrera gave up 13 hits in 4.1 innings.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters has 2 GIDPs already. He's ready for the big club.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Tennessee has really mastered the art of "score a bunch of runs to get you excited about clicking on the box score, only to found out it's all from the roster fill in the bottom half of the lineup."

3rd baseman throughout the organization have simply given up on themselves due to the greatness that is Luis Valbuena.

[Guest]

Kane County rained out. Doubleheader mañana.

[illiniguy]

Soler double. Kid is on fire.

[Guest]

Soler double. Kid is on fire.

 

Baez now adds a double. Both are 1/2 with a double and no strikeouts.

[gscool89]

Baez with a triple and scores on a Soler sac fly.

[illiniguy]

Baez with a triple and scores on a Soler sac fly.

Man he needs a monster week to get going.

[davell]

Brett with a no K day. I'm holding out hope for progress until midseason.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Oh, hey. Jeffrey Lorrick pitched for Daytona. The D Lee connection lives on.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is there any intel on John Andreoli? He's been putting up a pretty strong slash line since last year. The power just isn't there. It would be easy to lump him with Tony Campana or Sam Fuld if it weren't for the fact that he's 6'1 215 lbs.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Wow, 14th error for Javy? Did I miss him going on an epic error streak or something? That's more than Alcantara.

I believe others have said this could be partially attributed to Geiger's stone hands at first.

I'm guessing there's not much hope for him since after putting up solid numbers last year he's now in his 2nd year at Daytona and is a no power LF. Combined with the fact that he'll be 23 in a month, you would think he'd be in Tennessee if the organization thought he was a worthwhile prospect.

And he was just passed over by Anthony Giansanti for promotion to Tennessee with outfielders Jae-Hoon Ha and Johermyn Chavez on the DL.
