how soon until WSR sees charles cutler's batting average at tennessee and starts wondering about whether he could be a contributor to the big league club?

[Guest]

when you look at the AZL numbers, the average batting line is something like .255/.333/.365/.698. so jimenez (.267/.313/.440/.753) and torres (.261/.368/.352/.720) are more than holding their own as 17 year olds. good to see. i wonder if either one will get a shot at starting with kane county next season?

 

I think both start at Kane County next year.

Jimenez is looking far more advanced than I'd have thought.

Everything is great, you guys.

Almora and Russell with back to back singles. Both are 3/4 tonight

[TruffleShuffle]

someone hit a home run, these singles and doubles are boring.

Sorry that may be more "dreamy eyes" than "sleepy" but damn it's Kapowski so whatever.

RBI single Almora. Now 4/5. Russell singles to load the bases. He is 4/5 as well. Edited July 29, 2014 by ctcf

Another hit for Russell as well! Four on the night! :yahoo:

[Guest]

Russell up to .307 and Almora has raised his average .150 points in one night.

Cubs' Addison Russell since Thursday 12-for-24, 3 HR, 3 2B. Cubs' impact prospect depth is insane.

[Guest]

Russell's combined line(he still has one PA to go tonight): 123 PA, .317/.382/.553/.937, 7 HR, 8% BB%, 18% K%

Even wilder, to me, is that line comes with not just one, but two major adjustments involved.

I think we may actually have 4 of the top 10 prospects in baseball.

Almora blows....in that AB.

Vitters. And Szczur. And Brett. And McNutt.

 

I've got some offseasons of catch up to do though.

Gleyber Torres has a single and walk so far.

[ctcf]

John Arguello @CubsDen

Gleyber Torres has reached base in his last 8 PAs: 5 hits, 3 walks.

[ctcf]

Russell K's. He and Almora end the night 4/6

What do you mean by this?

[PrimeTime]

Haven't heard Schwarber's name lately in the daily minor league thread. Has he gone ice cold the past week or so since being promoted to Daytona?
