That's fantastic.

That's a combined OPS of 2.067 right there.

[Vinestal]

Is it me or does that 1st basemen's glove look really small?

[Guest]

Arguello fed Parks some comparisons of Cubs prospects to top prospects to see where they stand, really interesting stuff: http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/08/talking-prospects-with-professor-parks-how-cubs-top-prospects-compare-with-the-some-of-the-best-in-the-game/

 

You'll want to read the whole thing, but here's the short version:

 

Baez > Sano

Buxton > Almora

Alcantara > Hanson

Polanco > Soler

Johnson & maybe Edwards have an outside shot at his Top 100

Guess I'd be a little disappointed if "only" 4 Cubs make the offseason top 100's.

[sneakypower]

yes because it will mean one of our top 5 has died

TT's breakdown didn't include Bryant, who was discussed along with Baez and Sano.

You're forgetting Bryant.

Baez with a double in his first ab

[Guest]

baez with his daily walk

[Guest]

baez with his daily walk

 

Puts him at 10% at AA.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

baez with his daily walk

 

Might have been intentional? Alcantara had doubled with two outs in front of him.

Gameday has it at 7 pitches, so it definitely wasn't intentional to start.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Works for me. 9.55% it is.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That also puts his K/BB ratio at exactly 3:1, which is pretty acceptable.
