2. Russell

3. Bryant

4. Alcantara

5. Almora

6. Baez

7. Schwarber

8. Armando Rivero

Russell's like 0/9 so far with 4 strikeouts. Not in the top 10.

Dude we don't want to overreact to small samples. Plus he's got a .000 BABIP.

[TruffleShuffle]

home runs by soler, baez, and two by almora?

boo yah

[Cubswin11]

Bring him up later this year. Do it. Unleash our Cuban at long last.

Seriously, I'd move him up to AAA if he's still hitting remotely close to this in 1-2 weeks.

He has pitchers in his top 10. I don't trust this one at all.

the very real possibility that soler, baez, bryant and alcantara all own is so frightening that it's like you don't even realize we also have the no. 6 prospect in baseball, as well as almora who is hitting like 400 in the last month AS WELL AS THE SCHWARB.

[Warpticon]

Soler with a modest .394/.444/.818 slash line in AA so far.

Don't be one of those dorks who lists OPS in the last ... oh wait, that's just his SLG

[Thrilho]

Javy since 6/15 (3 days pre-Bryant, 10 days pre-Manny). Through three ABs.

 

 

.302/.380/.558 13.0 BB% 25.0 K% 5 HR .394 wOBA 135 wRC+

 

 

It would be nice if the trade sparks a true Javy binge. BB:K ratio since the trade is currently at 2:0.

 

Edit: This is 100 of his 329 PAs.

Seriously, give him like another 2 weeks and send him to Iowa, then get his ass to Chicago ASAP to see if he can hit now. That may lessen the need for adding an OF in the offseason. Yes, I know this is completely unrealistic but he's Cuban and therefore should be awesome when he gets to the majors by proxy.

 

In all honesty, he's probably seen as good or better pitching than he's seeing now when he was playing professionally in Cuba. Not every day, but certainly enough guys who are either talented or old and crafty to have developed a bit better approach than most guys in his age bracket and situation.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

It's a bit different though because Soler was never in Cuba's best league.

Almora set a new career-high for home runs in a season ... in the last two nights.

You get out of here with your fancy facts.

A few years ago, if guys like Vogelbach, Villanueva, and Candelario all sucked and Johnson and Edwards barely pitched due to injury, it'd be a disastrous farm season. Now, it barely even matters.

[ScrubMD]

We need to trade all of our excess prospects for Gallo and Stanton and then put everyone at positions that make no sense just to [expletive] with people.

 

2016 lineup:

 

SS Gallo

1B Russell

LF Castro

3B Soler

RF Baez

CF Rizzo

C Stanton

2B Bryant

 

Instead of numbers, all the jerseys will just have lol on the back.

Why not go back a month earlier since 5/17?

 

.299/.356/.565 with 11 HR and it covers about two-thirds of his season - 208 PAs.

[Thrilho]

We all know the best way to get Soler to Chicago

 

 

Yeah, Soler isn't going from barely playing in AA by July to ready for a full-time MLB job at the end of the year.

It's just too bad Soler is the only one with no service time issues or we could get the MLB lineup filled in no time.

He had a pretty vicious slump for the first half of June, so I figured I'd stick with his current tear.

 

 

Edit: Actual, more than anything it's this:

 

5/17-6/14......4.7 BB%...32.7 K%

6/14-7/6......13.4 BB%...25.0 K%

 

If the FO is giving any thought to trading him the best thing he can do to stay is improve his approach.
