Kris Bryant Being Called Up!

[TruffleShuffle]

just firing this up for his arrival ~late april after the inevitable destruction of the pacific coast league for a couple of weeks.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

assuming he stays the required three weeks, what's the over/under on Iowa HR? 10?

I was going to make a Bryant nickname thread but this one will do.

 

Babe Smooth?

i hope he gets called up for the Pittsburgh or Cincinnati series...planning on going to both of those.

[PackLandVA]

Mike Robertson (aka Alan) on the "braces" episode, for those old enough! :D

10?? Are you serious? How many days off do you expect Bryant to get

in Iowa over 3 weeks?

I think he'll be the opening day starter. With the madden tampering BS and the potential grievance filed by the players union if Bryant is held back, I think the cubs buckle and KB starts with the big club.

 

I'm all for the extra year, but if he's going to kick ass and take names, might as well start now. Win a world series in the next 5 years and he can name his price when he becomes a free agent and I won't give a crap if the cubs, yankees, or bad news bears sign him.

If Bryant becomes 3rd baseman Babe Ruth this entire board will make Lake Michigan salty with all the tears if he leaves. Let's delay that thought as long as possible.

I will bet you every dollar that I still owe on my student loans that he doesn't start the year with the big club. Theo is not going to get pushed around by [expletive] Boras and be this stupid.

Zero chance.

Would also accept The Witch King of Angmar, Kris the Cruel, Maelys the Monstrous, Bryant the Bold, Gallactus the World Eater, or Dark Lord Morgoth.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I thought Brett had already decided for Cub fandom and we were stuck with Sparkles.
