    two at-bats = i told ya so. impressive. Almost as impressive as a 20 year old shortstop hitting a 3-run opposite field HR in his first MLB at bat. You're not serious, are you? What does he have to do to get some respect around here? I'm not saying he is going to be Alex Rodriguez tomorrow, but he WILL be the face of this franchise in 3 years or less. I know we are Cubs fans but have a little faith! Is it not possible to have a prospect worth playing in our mediocre (at best) infield? Wait, what? He's not "respected?" You say "everyone loves him now" as if everyone hated him before his first AB? You're sounding delusional.

    I don't think either will be at this point since Tracy was sent down to the minors.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Oh man, I actually remember watching that game. First pitch, too.

    Welcome, my child. Welcome.

    the BA prospect handbook mentioned specifically that he hits breaking pitches well. they said he usually takes the first one from a pitcher he hasn't seen and then attacks the next. That's so, so nice.

    Had to call my dad in Berlin and wake him up over that Castro AB.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAH!

    Good Lord, he looks like a baby up there.

    Here we go.

    I'm not terribly confident with Silva going tonight with the wind howling out of GAB. I hope I'm wrong.

    It's really sad that it's getting to the point that I'm dreading Aramis not exercising his opt out after this season.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, that was the same thing I said in the Castro thread. Of course, now that it actually makes any kind of sense to bat Soto 8th Lou opts to not do so. In all honestly, isn't it the line up you would have predicted Lou to draw up for today? Sure, but just we can predict his stupid decisions it doesn't make them any less stupid.

    You're trying too hard.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It's frustrating how that lineup should be making me happy instead of so very sad.

    I don't know what you said before this, but I declare it invalid. Rejected. TRUTH BOMBED.

    Maybe he'll tear his ACL while robbing the bank. Crap, we're doomed!
  19. Sammy Sofa
    No, you are wrong. I refuted his point that they aren't jeopardizing him just by calling him up. My point is just calling him up exposes him to the potential for mishandling. That's where it begins. The caveat that as long as he gets playing time is meaningless. Sure, if they handle it great it's not a problem, but the point is the de facto position with the Cubs is almost always handling things poorly, thus bringing him here in the first place is placing his development in jeopardy. It's not ruining him, it's jeopardy. If you wanted to you could argue that his development is in jeopardy just by being in the Cubs' system, period. If we're talking about the "woulda/coulda/shoulda" nature of jeopardy in the Context of the Cubs handling things poorly then he's been neck-deep in it since day one. BOOM. TRUTH BOMB.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    It's still a risk. If he spends a few months sitting too frequently, then gets sent down, burning an option, then that puts a little more urgency into the situation. The move in and of itself won't hurt his development, though. It's the handling of him after the move that could. Right. Promoting him in and of itself isn't necessarily detrimental to his development. I mean, I don't even understand why Gooney had to point out it would be detrimental if he didn't get regular playing time when I put that caveat clear as the day in the post he quoted.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    I don't think they're jeopardizing his development just by bringing Castro up and he gets regular playing time. Worst comes to worse he can always go back to AA or AAA.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Not only would they demote Wells, which is dumb in and of itself, but they wouldn't use Zambrano to replace him? What a [expletive] bunch of people we have running this organization. Holy hell, this sounds dumb.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Its kind of what people have been saying which is around a .270 avg with a .320 OBP. But unlike some of the people hating on here, he feels batting in the 7th or 8th spot is the right thing. Ironically, this is where Lou insisting on Soto batting 8th could be a good thing. If Castro is coming up with Soto behind him it's going to ideally force pitcher to not pitch him too much garbage and it should hopefully give Castro a chance to work on being patient against big league pitchers since he won't effectively be the last chance before the pitcher comes up.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    He's going to all of your moms' bullpens.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    What? That's ridiculous. I thought he was going to the bullpen. Aramis to the starting rotation.
