Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up.

[A New Era]

Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up.

 

I am. . Oh you meant keep HIM up. Sorry.

Mark Gonzalez says he stays and Hendricks goes as Cubs don't need fifth starter until after break!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Honestly? He's still swinging and missing a tiny bit too much for my taste. But the defense looks way better than I would have guessed. I really want him to get his growing pains out of the way now and be a 2.5-win player in 2015.

This is like the happiest I've been all year about the Cubs. Don't kill this by sending him down 4 games after the all-star break plz

I want Alcantara up the rest of the season, but out of curiosity how many games/ABs does it take for him to lose his prospect status? I want to embarass the rest of the league with our offseason top 10 prospect list.

I don't think many organizations are going to be embarrassed about how they stack up against the Cubs at the end of this season.

YESSSSSS. HES NEVER GOING TO TRIPLE A AGAIN, IS HE??

130 AB.

[A New Era]

yeah so many at bats or 45 days service time, I think.

even without alcantara it's still going to "embarrass the rest of the league"

To be clear I am clearly not saying he should be sent down in order to be paper champions of the prospect rankings. Worded better, I was asking if he would still be a prospect if he stayed up all year and the answer is a clear no.

If you're the manager of the Cubs and you have a choice between playing Barney or Alcantara, what do you do? You know what you're going to get from Barney (plus defense and the special occasional hit) Alcantara could be this year's Junior Lake or he could be last year's version of Junior Lake. Assuming that you are, in fact, still trying to win games, which player gives the best chance of winning?

What? That's kind of absurd and a false equivalence. Alcantara gives you the best chance to know what you've got going forward.

I'm guessing he's going to split time between 2B and CF
