@CSNMooney: Theo said the root of Soler's stress fracture was fouling a ball off his leg way back in spring training.

I'm not clear where the fracture is. Shin area? could this have been prevented with a guard?

It's the tibia, so there's a good chance that a shin guard may have prevented it. Though without knowing exactly how high/low the fracture is, it's impossible to say for certain.

Can't they just sub in Baez for Soler and then Correa can win the fan vote?

No, they need an OF to replace Soler.

Is there a cap on how many times you can vote? I feel like I just voted at least 100 times before I got bored. I guess I lack Vance's dedication.

 

But they sure have made it easier to stuff an e-ballot box since I did it last.

@javy23baez: Thanks to all the fans who voted for @javy23baez to the Future Game!

 

 

Not sure if that actually means he won or if he's just thanking his supporters.

Yeah I gave him at least 50 votes on one email account then, I too, got bored

[Guest]

I probably gave him about 100 votes over the course of the week but I'm afraid Houston has their own Vance.

 

Voting ends tonight at 11:59 PM ET.

Correa beats out Baez. :(

Ugh. [expletive] [expletive].

Can't the Cubs just send Baez in place of Soler as one of the two Cubs representatives since Soler can't play?

I think it has to be an OF.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Hope?

@JesseSanchezMLB: Really impressed with #Cubs prospect Arismendy Alcantara. He insisted on an English-only interview because he says he needed the practice.

That was the first Alcantara AB I've had a chance to watch. Here's hoping there are a lot more like that one!
