I really hope Bryant is in AAA before the series in Sacramento. I'd love to get to see both of them in person.

[Thrilho]

The only reason Bryant is still in Tennessee is so Manny can get some 1 on 1 time with Baez. Bryant knows it and is choosing to make public mockery of the decision.

[Guest]

meanwhile, Rhee is actually pitching a good game.

[CubInOK]

Baez K in his 1st AB.

[MWV]

Jesus Christ, Bryant. Unretireable.

[TruffleShuffle]

only a single? BORING

[CubInOK]

Kris Bryant does whatever the [expletive] he wants.

[MWV]

After that single, Bryant's OPS is presently 1.117 (220 PA). Since 2000, only Giancarlo Stanton has posted a higher OPS in the Southern League (1.171, 240 PA, age 20, 2010). He just eclipsed Adam Dunn's 2001 (1.113, 168 PA, age 21).

i know they like to take it slow with advancing prospects, but he has to be called up to iowa pretty soon. what's the point in letting him destroy the southern league for another month or two?

In the midst of Bryant's reign of terror on AA pitching, what (if any) have the reports been on his defense at 3B during this time?

He hits really, really well.

Don't have to pay him those big AAA bucks.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He still has plenty to learn about AA pitching, or they wouldn't be striking him out on such a high percentage of the times he doesn't hit HRs, which admittedly isn't often.

Baez: 0-2 2 K's

[ScrubMD]

The game got started too late and Javy doesn't feel like running the bases tonight.

[Tryptamine]

I wouldn't do it with Javy, but I'd feel pretty decent about locking up Bryant so that he could be on the 2015 opening day roster. Seems kind of ridiculous to keep him in the minors for a full year more.

[ScrubMD]

TN in extras, so Bryant might get another chance to j all over their b's.

Probably can't even see all the way to first base.

0-3 3Ks for Baez in the first game. He starts off the 2nd game with a single.

[Outshined_One]

I can honestly say I've never seen a hitting prospect like Bryant in the Cubs system. This sort of output is just incredible.

cj edwards is retweeting people wishing him good luck on his mri tomorrow
