Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-8-14

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm feeling nostalgic so let's pretend Brett Jackson's HR just now is still an exciting thing.

[NOLA]

Mendy Alcantara. That's a badass sexy CF name.

"Mendy Alcantara with a shot to the gap."

[Gmoney08]

I kinda like the idea that if you are Javy's minor league teammate and not a top-50 prospect he doesn't bother to learn your name.

 

LOL, what are the odds he can name 10 current Cubs players?

 

This is probably how Javy feels about all the rejects he knows will be gone when him and the other waves come up..

Does Jim Hendry have a team we can trade him to after this boost in trade value?

[Thrilho]

Mendy flies out to track near the 400 foot sign in center in his second AB. Didn't see the double, but Gametrack says it was up against the wall in right (315).

baez and bryant with back to back singles

[rawaction]

If u are like me and thought "damn Dae Eun Rhee has been around forever". But I could have sworn he had been in AAA before. But 609 innings before he made his Iowa debut.

#cubs prospects Addison Russell & Jorge Soler kept out of the lineup tonight for a planned game off. Both available to pitch hit.

Glad I saw this. I just checked that both were out. Half expected to read about some freak batting practice collision which crippling both.

oh no this mendy thing is catching on

I prefer teammates to create nicknames over #twitternation. Plus, he's got a four syllable name. I think we'll be glad to have a two syllable version available once he becomes dinner table conversation.

[Sammy Sofa]

Al Contra is a perfectly good nickname, dammit.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I thought his nickname was Al Contra.

I want Mendy Alcantara to have the biggest boom box playing Salsa music in the clubhouse. Until Javy is called up and his boom box dwarfs Mendy's.

[NOLA]

Sounds too much like Al Queda. The rednecks and hicks will hate him.

Like they won't anyway.

[CubsWin]

Schwarber with a 2-out double in the 1st. Ripped a line-drive to left-center

Petition to call all Schwarber doubles "Schwarbles".

 

Okay, maybe not...

[davell]

Just go with AA. If Almora makes it up, we'll figure something out for him at the appropriate time. Arn Anderson has deemed Mendy silly.

 

Plus, when he hits a HR, we can give the 4 Horsemen symbol.

Schwarngles

Schwarbles

Schwarples

Schwongers

Works for forums, but in person that's just his name. That would be like if you gave Patrick Kane the nickname "Cain."

[Vinestal]

Schwarber with his 2nd double of the game.

[davell]

2 doubles for Schwarber

[CubsWin]

Schwarber with his 2nd double of the game.

You mean his 2nd Schwarble of the game.

 

Okay, maybe not...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I like how Schwarber is almost an afterthought at this point.

[Deeg]

The Schwarbler is now 4-6 throwing out base stealers.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

In the 2010 lists, our No. 7 prospect was Logan Watkins, a 21st round pick coming off a .780 OPS in Boise made up entirely of BABIP.
