Michael Bourn is really good So is Jason Borne. Who knows, maybe this mythical "Michael Borne" is some sort of love child between Michael Bourn, the professional baseball player, and Jason Bourne, specially trained super-assassin.
Last Goldstein tweet re: Baez, I promise: @Kevin_Goldstein Very impressed with the bat, but expected to be. RT @cubfanbudman79: @Kevin_Goldstein so we're you impressed with Baez?
Speaking of the Reds and absurd individual statistics, how's this for a triple slash: .345 / .475 / .621 Of course, I'm referring to Joey Votto. Man does it suck this guy will never be a free agent.
Now that is what I like to hear. And just to add to the Goldstein-initiated lovefest: Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein Baez home run cleared the Pepsi sign. As long a shot as I've seen in this park since Jason Stokes played here.
Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein Top 10, and that's conservative. RT @ChiMike702: @Kevin_Goldstein If Soler is in next weeks draft, about how high does he go?
John Sickels's prospect retrospective on Wood: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/5/19/3030811/prospect-retrospective-kerry-wood-career-chicago-cubs Makes me feel equal parts sad and bitter about how much he was overused in HS and what possibly could've been.
Rizzo really has nothing left to prove in AAA. At this point I'm just praying that Soriano starts producing, we find an AL team dumb enough to take him and his disgusting contract in a trade, we move LaHair to LF, and then we call up Rizzo to take his place at 1B.
Agree that Pujols will still likely end up with decent counting stats by season's end, but this is what would have me concerned if I were an Angels fan: Walk rate by year: 2009 - 16.4% 2010 - 14.7% 2011 - 9.4% 2012 - 4.5%
Is this based on anything? ESPNChiCubs @ESPNChiCubs Once again, a short delay to start at most. RT @cbarrett0526: @ESPNChiCubs Are they optimistic about getting this one in? CarrieMuskat Here comes the tarp. Rain is supposed to pass thru area so won't be long delay. #Cubs #Dodgers
