Great pitching day.

I guess I missed the Skulina promotion... but that is a pretty damn interesting day.

Rosscup finally promoted to Iowa. Struck sent to Tennessee as a corresponding move.

Gotta assume Struck will get to start there. Maybe Figueroa goes back to the pen?

[rawaction]

Rhee lit up in the 1st. 4 ER, 5 hits, 2 HRs.

[TruffleShuffle]

it pissed down in clearwater, daytona is in a rain delay and the power might have been knocked out to the ballpark. :lol:

[rawaction]

Javy with an 8-pitch, 3-2 count, groundout to SS.

[TruffleShuffle]

daytona officially rained out =D>

@GDubCub: Cubs will discuss in next week whether to promote first-rounder Bryant to Kane County.

Hopefully if he should skip past it to Daytona.

someone should tweet at keith law every time baez draws a walk, just to troll him.

[TruffleShuffle]

home run villanueva (#15). i'd be a lot more excited about him if not for the fact that the cubs are overflowing with 3b candidates who are probably better than him (olt, baez assuming a defensive shift, candelario, bryant).

[Guest]

I wonder how well his defense would hold up at 2B. He's supposed to be a terrific defender, but I'm not sure if he's got quick enough feet.

[rawaction]

Bases loaded, RBI single for Alcantara, Baez comes up for the 2nd time in the inning with the bases loaded, this time. 1 out.

[rawaction]

And Baez K's swinging. He's had a couple terrible ABs this week with the bases loaded.

IIRC, the Rangers tried this and it was quickly abandoned.

Thought I read before he could possibly handle 2B. He's not huge to the point that he's inflexible. But he's also not a former SS, so it could be completely foreign to him. I think he does compare some to Edgardo Alfonzo who made the move from 3B to 2B. But he's still behind Alcantara there, LOL.
