Schwarber HR

And 2 doubles, 3-3.

So would Villanueva get a call up, maybe, before Olt? Both plus defenders, both can spell first base if needed, but only one has crazy eyes.

Justin Steele not being helped by his team's defense. An error and a pass ball. Stats so far are 4 innings, 3 runs, 1 earned run, 5 Ks , 0 BBs. Edited July 8, 2015 by PackLandVA

I'd rather have Olt, Cubs really need someone that can hit dongs off the bench

[PackLandVA]

Villanueva has some pop and doesn't strike out nearly as much. I think it's more likely that Villanueva would come up as a PH late in a contacted "contact" a better outcome than it would be for Olt to go dong. More likely, Olt would K in a PH spot.

 

A look see of Villanueva may also give him some trade value. I think Olt is what he is.

SSSS

(Small but Sexy Sample Size)

alert: With 1/7 BB/K in 3IP, Greyfer Eregua's at 2/20 through 13.2 IP and a 0.88 WHIP.

 

Speaking of SSS, anyone know of Jesus Carmego? 19 year old AZL pitcher with 3/15 BB/K 0.86 WHiP over 14.2 IP/3 games. Before this year, be pitched 2.1 IP in 1 game for Mexico last year, but that's about it. Not on the International Signee thread either.
