Vizcaino with the save. When's a good time for him to come up?

 

I'm kinda in Kyle's camp on this one. Who knows how many bullets he has? Let's use them in the majors instead of the minors.

 

Does it really matter? You're firing bullets on a shooting range or firing them in the air in the middle of a field.

baez is not one of the top five hitters in the organization today. he's still doing that thing where he forgets how to hit when he starts a new level. if you put him in chicago today he'd hit like .075 (but the only hits would be home runs, so that would be kind of cool).

LOL Baez will put up a line like .080/.120/.500 in his first 50 MLB PAs.

 

Baez does whatever the [expletive] he wants including putting up impossible BA/SLG ratios.

He'll be the only person in baseball history to average 6 TB/H.

I really want to see Brian McCann's face as he rounds home.

Why is Arrieta pitching for Daytona? Did I miss something?

 

Len said something the other day about it being easier for him to get loose coming off the injury in Daytona since it's warmer.

 

The Cubs were concerned about Iowa weather.

it will pretty awesome on the days when doing what the [expletive] he wants includes playing matball

If Arrieta has options, I'm fine just leaving him in the minors and calling up Wada before his inevitable opt-out kicks in.

I'm not sure Wada has an opt-out, I'm pretty sure we released him and re-signed him to a MiLB deal near the end of Spring Training.

 

EDIT: Yep, released 3/23, re-signed with a MiLB deal the 24th. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/transactions.jsp?c_id=chc#month=3&year=2014&team_id=112

 

EDIT2: TCR says Arrieta has one option left, although they apparently have to jump through some procedural hoop to use it.

Didn't see this mentioned but Candelario had 2 doubles and a walk yesterday.

I assume Wada has the pull to get an opt out
