    So far... - Marcus Hatley with another terrible outing: 2.0 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 5 R, 1 BB, 0 SO, 2 HR, for a 5.42 ERA. I think it's time to remove him from the rotation (if not release him!). - Rebel Ridling and Kyler Burke with their 9th and 7th HR's on the season, respectively. - Dan McDaniel allowed a few baserunners today: 5.0 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 R, 3 BB, 1 SO, 0 HR, 4.28 ERA - Jeremy Papelbon with a nice start for Tennessee: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR, 3.36 ERA (He has climbed up my prospect list a bit this year - ignore his April numbers and he has had a solid year in AA. He's a bit old, but he's lefty!) - Esmailing Caridad was a little wild at first, but settled down to have a nice outing: 5.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 R, 3 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR, 4.25 ERA (and he singled as well). (He might not be done yet.) - Tony Campana was caught stealing (only his 9th CS to go with 43 SB this year - 79% SB%) I think he could be used as a B/C-level prospect in a trade. I'm not sure he will hit at Tennessee or above - he's a 23-year old slap hitter with a low OBP. - The lower half of Daytona's lineup getting it done today: Chirinos is 2-for-2, Wyatt scored after reaching on a FC, Vitters scored after a single, M. Gonzalez doubled them both home.

    Thanks for this! Sure! Teachers need to do something productive with their summers off! :)

    We pretty much knew this already, but here is Bruce Miles' account:

    Transactions: Alvaro Sosa assigned to AZL Cubs from Boise Hawks. Jordan Petraitis assigned to AZL Cubs from Boise Hawks. Miguel Sierra assigned to AZL Cubs from Boise Hawks. Justin Bour assigned to Boise Hawks from AZL Cubs. Eduardo Figueroa assigned to Boise Hawks from AZL Cubs. Richard Jones assigned to Boise Hawks from AZL Cubs. Jeremy Papelbon assigned to Tennessee Smokies from Iowa Cubs. B.J. Ryan signed to a minor league contract and will report to Mesa and eventually be assigned to Iowa when he is ready. (Most likely Kevin Hart will be returned to Iowa or Chicago soon)

    Huh, he must have signed a 2008 contract. Do you mean 2009 contract? Anyway, he played 3B and not catcher. Is that expected? Yeah, I meant 2009. As O_O said, most guys sign a contract for the next year - admittedly, it's mostly the 16-year olds who do that. Ah - thanks! Good to see him get started so soon. It's now more likely that we get to see him in the states next year! Would you guys say he would have been a 2nd or 3rd rounder if he was drafted? Has anyone read if the Cubs plan to keep him at catcher (since he played 3B today)?

    Wilson Contreras sighting - (Dominican Cubs 2) http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2009_07_15_dmlrok_dchrok_1&t=g_box&did=milb

    Hank Williamson promoted to Iowa.

    Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere else (I'm in New Zealand right now and can't read through everything), but Joe Simokaitis is now pitching for the Mesa Cubs. He must have been asked to convert to pitching but refused when he was released. He then realized that no one else figured he had much talent as an infielder, so he decided to make that change?!?!?!

    Boise Hawks placed CF Kurt Calvert on reserve list. Boise Hawks placed 2B Dwayne Kemp on reserve list. Boise Hawks placed RF Dylan Johnston on reserve list.

    Boise Hawks placed CF Kurt Calvert on reserve list. Boise Hawks placed 2B Dwayne Kemp on reserve list. Boise Hawks placed RF Dylan Johnston on reserve list. Not sure why, but I imagine it is to make room for today's 2009 draft pick signees.

    Exciting to hear about the first few signees! I'm would like to say that I'm a little excited about The Rohan signing, but because of his age (23) I'm really not. I just wanted to say, "The Rohan."
  14. Wrigley Rat
    You might be right, just look at Flaherty last year (though Flaherty was at SS throughout his time in college). I would hope so. A second round draft pick on a 2B just doesn't seem like good value. I know there is thought he might be moved to 3B as well, but Vitters will be blocking him every step of the way (LeMathieu would have to jump over Vitters in all likelihood due to his age).

    That's strange, because their article on the subject says this: http://www.daytonacubs.com/cgi-bin/dist/news.cgi?id=1 Contradictory! Vento is listed on the (provisional) roster on the Hawks' website: http://boise.hawks.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ros&cid=480&stn=true&sid=t480 Only problem with that roster is that half of those guys have been released earlier this year! :) It probably hasn't been updated in a long time.

    http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_12562115Does that mean the Cubs have to pay him 2nd-5th round slot money for him? Should the Cubs pay that for him?
