Candelario and Shoulders have HRs.

[pitchcs]

KC wins 6-3:

 

Amaya 2-4, 2B (22), K, CS (5)

Almora 0-3, BB, K

Vogelbach 1-3, BB, GIDP

Candelario 2-4, HR (7), K

Shoulders 2-3 HR (17), BB

[ctcf]

Man I wish Shoulders wasn't striking out like 28.5% of the time.

Candelario will be really interesting if/when his power finally comes around.

Candelario will be really interesting if/when his power finally comes around.

Agree. He's only 19 and playing full season ball. He's right on schedule.

I thought more of his power would be showing by now, but the other parts of his game all seem to be ahead of schedule. With his build and his swing, it's hard to imagine he doesn't eventually hit for some power.

[Cubswin11]

He does have 30 2B this year, more than double from last year.

He doesn't rerank or regrade the guys, just posts 2 or 3 sentences about each guy on his preseason top 20. there's about 5 people that post in this forum that could provide a more interesting writeup

reminder about his previous top 20: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/12/2/3718190/chicago-cubs-top-20-prospects-for-2013

 

i've been reading his midseason org reports - he discusses how each of his top 20 is faring and also mentions guys who have become factors in the first half of the year, without producing a new list.

Baez about to get his final at bat of the night, will it be a K or a HR

[imb]

It's a walk! TTO baby

[Hairyducked Idiot]

OK, I'm seriously beginning to mentally pencil in some late-2014 Baez contributions at the MLB level.
