By this time next year, I want to be facing the "where do Bryant and Baez play" problem.

3rd and 2nd, respectively.

3rd and SS with Castro at 2B.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Kris Bryant struck out in his 2nd AB.......in the same inning.

 

Someone elsewhere said he crushed a home-run length foul ball for the first strike.

[MWV]

As long as he maintains his 1.0 HR/K ratio, I'm cool with it.

[pitchcs]

Can someone please photoshop a Mt. Rushmore of Bryant, Baez, Almora and Soler?

[ctcf]

This is just getting ridiculous.

 

Vogelbach is also 1-2 with a BB.

[Warpticon]

Kris Bryant!

 

there isn't a gif on the internet that can accurately sum up how I feel about this.

 

There's one I can think of, but it's not appropriate for this board.

[RammyFanny]

Man, Baez ended up flying out but the first pitch he saw was a oppo rope he crushed, but about 10 feet foul.

But then where does Alcantara play?

[MWV]

Javy with an RBI double, comes around on a single by Bour.

2nd after Baez moves to short after we trade Castro for Archie Bradley.

He was part of the deal for Stanton, who is in RF.

I'm with this.

[Guest]

Actually, Im cool with Olt at 3rd and Bryant in right.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

btw, Shawn Dunston is back for Boise, he of the 18/15 BB/K ratio. Curious to see how everyone has him ranked.

I'm kinda the original Castro doubter, but why do people think Alcantara will be better?

I dont think he will necessarily be better as Castro could get us more.

Because he's 21 in AA with a 10% walk rate and .170 ISO? 26/30 in SB? Dunno.

[Guest]

You recall what Castro did at age 20 in AA?

[Guest]

Yes this. Better eye and more power, too.

Yeah, in about 20 games.

[Guest]

I notice you forgot to mention the difference in strikeout rate.

[Guest]

btw - Javy is 2/3 with two doubles

[CubsWin]

Alcantara steals home!

[TruffleShuffle]

i am starting to think that ranking baez 4th on my cubs midseason list was too low.
