    I see a reference to him batting 5th in game 2.

    Daytona Cubs ‏@daytonacubs 48m @juiceboxjerry It is possible that he'll be available for game two. His flight arrived later than Vogelbach's.

    I think most on here reasonably expect Bryant to get to AA at some point next year but I doubt many others, if any at all, expect him to see any time above that. I don't think any of us expect his "clock to start" until sometime in 2015 and I think there's a decent chance he will still be have rookie status in 2016 (which is the first year I expect him to see significant time/start the season out of ST with the team). I could easily see him not only start in AA, but get a promotion to AAA next season, and spend a significant amount of time with the big team in 2015.

    jesus that sounds tedious

    Huh? A quick promotion to MLB might not be in the organization's best interests. But a promotion that doesn't start the service time "clock" would not conflict with that. I don't think many people think he's going to start next year in the majors.

    More like we just Olt to give up on him already.

    The big boys finally brought the sunshine.

    Good for him but I hope he concentrates on baseball, and uses protection. So you're saying he should wear a raincoat???? YES BUT NOT FOR RAIN!

    For some reason Dejesus is in left and Lake is in center tonight.

    What did he use, 5 wood? That swing is ridiculous.

    Might just be wishful thinking on the part of a Boise sports reporter though. I doubt the playoffs would factor into the front office's decision, if that's what he's implying. Yeah, that would be a weird reason to stop a college player from moving up from short season to A+. That's an important and necessary step, and just keeping him around to enjoy a Boise playoff run is something only a Boise specific homer is going to think about.

    http://itsaboutthemoney.net/archives/2013/08/12/the-all-homegrown-mlb/ The homegrown only teams, which obviously winds up being a really awful cubs team.

    That is a big if. How does Rizzo's bat rate as a mediocre at best defensive LF?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    That sucks, I don't see the problem with having a surplus of talent, but I guess with finite resources it makes sense to not overload at a position you have a 'cornerstone' signed to a long term deal already. It's also the position where you are that, or nothing. You generally don't shift 1B around the field. Having 2 of pretty much everything else is manageable.

    I'll be here all week, remember to tip your waitresses.

    big hire for brett
  21. jersey cubs fan
    There is a NY Post headline dying to coming out of this tweet.

    It's certainly set up to be his job, but he has literally done nothing that would indicate he should get it. Well, he has more than doubled his July OPS in August, but that is still below 600.

    Three botched shotgun snaps so far in practice today. No further explanation on whose fault it was. The guy who thought Garza was worth keeping.

    There isn't really a list of sports I've taken up watching besides the ones I watched when I was a kid, so it's tough to compare. The only team I care about now that I didn't as a kid is the USMNT, but that doesn't count since I'd root for any US-based team if I followed the sport they played. To me, becoming a fan of something is what happens when you are a kid, and then it just sticks with you. I can't really force myself to be a fan of a team. Those 7:45 games are the whole reason I got into the sport, since I was waking up with the baby already and needed something on in the background while she played.

    I think the Reed Johnson comps on Szczur could be fairly accurate. I don't think things would be horribly wrong if we wound up with a Reed type as a 4th OFer, but saying that-I figure Szczur has his major league career elsewhere. Reed Johnson comps? Sczur is 24 with a SLG way under .400 at AA. When Reed Johnson was a 24 year old in the Southern League he hit .314/.383/.451. Sczur may still have a major league career but he's more of a 25th guy on the roster than a 4th OF. I think a quality reliever is more valuable than a guy with Szczur's profile.
