Now that he's started to hit, how long before Happ gets promoted? Does he stay in Low A until Young is ready for his next step or is there maybe some alternate plan?

Happ is actually at high A. He just started hitting well and the questions about contact ability are still there. I imagine he'll spend at least a half season at Myrtle Beach.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Opposite field HR for Torres

[CubsWin]

Bijan Rademacher now leads all Cubs minor leaguers with 3 HRs. If he keeps up this pace, we're gonna have to come up with a nickname for them.

 

Radedinger? Rade-hay-macher? I got nothing...

[CubsWin]

Bijan hit another Radongmacher.

 

I still got nothin'...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Roundemacher tripper

[TruffleShuffle]

the ghost of babe ruth seems to have taken over radenmacher's body for the first two weeks of this season.

So sexy.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Impressive start from Bijan, The Dong Maker.

 

Bijan's the consumate guy that latches on with another team, puts up a strong couple of weeks, and the front office is condemned as he quietly withers into nothingness.

Almora: 42 PA, .324/.381/.353, 5/5 K/BB

Vogelbach: 44 PA, .405/.500/.595, 15/6 K/BB

 

So sexy.

 

I really hope that Vogelbach can put up another few months of this so we can ship him to the AL for something we can use. Though it might be ammusing to watch him galumph around a big league outfield in September.
