RT @jonmorosi: Cubs prospect C.J. Edwards, key piece obtained from Texas in Garza deal, still shut down with shoulder discomfort; no return date set.

I'm setting the over/under on starts/piggybacks for Edwards the rest of the season at 7.5.

Yesterday at ExST: http://www.thecubreporter.com/05142014/hops-go-brew-crews-way-barley-defeat-cubs-riverview-park

 

Jeffrey Baez walked twice, doubled, stole a base, and scored a run and Eloy Jimenez singled, doubled, and scored a run for the Cubs. In 17 Cactus League Extended Spring Training games (67 PA), Baez is hitting 345/433/500, with two doubles, two triples, one HR, 5 RBI, 8 RUNS, 9/8 BB/K, and 12 SB (0 CS), and he leads the team in OBP, SLG, SB, BB, and RUNS, is second only to the departed Matt Scioscia in AVG (Scioscia hit 348 in 26 PA), and is one of only three EXST Cubs players to hit a HR (Tyler Alamo and Rashad Crawford are the other two).

 

Today: http://www.thecubreporter.com/05152014/cubs-top-angels-diablo-park

 

Elliot Soto tripled, singled, walked, and scored a run, and Eloy Jimenez singled twice, scored a run, and drove-in another, leading the Cubs to a 9-5 victory over the Angels in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Diablo Park Field #7 in Tempe, AZ. 

 

In 18 Cactus League Extended Spring Training games (72 PA), Eloy Jimenez is hitting 221/250/279, with a team-leading nine RBI, plus four doubles and 3/19 BB/K. He has yet to homer in a Cactus League EXST game, although he has in Intrasquad games. 

 

Unlike the other top international prospect signed by the Cubs in 2013 (SS Gleyber Torres), Jimenez has no chance to make the Boise Hawks Opening Day roster, but he does stand a good chance to be in the AZL Cubs Opening Day lineup next month.

Have always been intrigued by the other Baez.

Have always been intrigued by the other Baez.

A few more weeks and he may be the good Baez.

Javy K's on a breaking pitch in the dirt his first at-bat.

[XZero771679666304]

Soler pulled from the game mid-inning after making a play in RF.

Apparently it's just cramps.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Javy K's on a breaking pitch in the dirt his first at-bat.

And another K in his 3rd at bat. This is getting really depressing.

In happier news, Hendricks toying with Round Rock. 6 IP 2 H 0 BB 8 Ks

 

Bryant with a go-ahead RBI double.

[muntjack]

Also Alcantara 2-2 with a 2B, 3B and BB

Absolute ass-blasting by Hendricks. 8IP 3H 0BB 11K.

Holy [expletive].

[gscool89]

Javy needs to be sent down to Tennessee. This is getting ridiculous.

Hendricks' FIP is now roughly 1.82, depending on the exact constant you use in calculating. He's 50 innings in to the season now, 54 K, 11 BB, 0 HR.

[Guancous]

Kyle Hendricks has a great K/9 ratio this year. How much longer before he loses the soft-tosser designation?

[SouthSideRyan]

Hendricks is easily the guy I'm most excited about this season in comparison to how I felt before. (I've only got 4 NSBB Top 20 guys as improved :/)

A season of doing that in the majors.
