@DanMKirby Mark Zagunis leads all 2014 MLB draft picks with 40 BB. Schwarber is second at 39.

 

Zagunis is making up for lost time now that he's in full-season ball. .292/.485/.500 with 8/5 BB/K in 8 games.

Sorry, Rosario pitched in relief yesterday for Daytona. Yao-Lin Wang gets the start today.

[CubsWin]

Always excited to see how CJ does. I'd love for him to start in AAA next season. And even though he's struggled of late, I have hopes that Clifton can be something. He's got the stuff. Can he put it all together? Interesting pitching night amongst the usual ridiculousness from the bats in the organization.

Edwards will most likely start in Iowa if he does well in the AFL and stays healthy

[TruffleShuffle]

Rest day for Russell :(

Actually he hurt his thumb.

 

@bhowes34: @BleacherNation @ltblaize Addison Russell sitting out tonight with splint on left thumb.

Someone tell me why I shouldn't like Jeffrey Baez. I know I shouldn't -- serious contact issues and is still in A-ball. But the power and speed have me excited.

[TruffleShuffle]

Jeffrey Baez strikes me as Junior Lake 2.0

He's slowly and steadily fighting his way towards my top 20.

The BP guys that have seen KC multiple times seem to think his bat isn't quick.

Soler HR. He's getting really hot before his imminent promotion.

Off Taijuan Walker.

[ScrubMD]

It's cool when one of our important players walks and then another one of our important players hits a home run.

Apparently Soler got pulled from the Iowa game

Early twitter speculation is that it didn't appear injury related. Not sure why he'd be pulled mid game for a promotion

[UMFan83]

@BornOnThirdCubs: To be clear... Soler was pulled from the field in the middle of the inning, didn't look hurt at all.

[gocubs2118]

Did he pimp the homer? Lopez was hit by a pitch after he hit it.

[Cubswin11]

Weird, probably and to take a [expletive]

Long flight to Cincinnati.

If they were going to pull him for that, why wait until after he took the field again?

@BornOnThirdCubs: John @CubsDen says that Soler was with the trainer.... so, take that for what it's worth. Does seem like an odd callup time.

 

Edit: never mind. Now saying Jokisch was the one with trainer

I don't know. I wasn't exactly sure when he was pulled.
