Outshined_One

With LeMahieu, it's not just his frame that concerns me when it comes to his power potential. When I saw him with Peoria, he primarily employed an inside out swing that was designed for him to go the other way. He racked up a lot of singles, but that was about it. I didn't see him attempt to pull the ball very often. He was built pretty well, but he wasn't looking to hit for power. I know he's been working on pulling pitches and supposedly improved that facet of his game since I saw him in Peoria. However, changing the fundamentals of a swing and an approach like that can take quite a bit of time and doesn't always pay off. Unfortunately, Minor League Splits' hit charts are no longer online, otherwise we could resort to them to help determine how much progress he's made.

He received quite a bit of consideration as a 1B when he was drafted. The Phillies were smart to move him while he was still young enough to develop at the plate.

I like LeMahieu quite a bit more than I do Flaherty at this stage. Other than power, I really don't see anything that Flaherty does better than LeMahieu does. And now that DJ has added some weight to his frame, I'm not even sure there's going to wind up being all that big of a difference there. As far as either of them being ready to play 2B next year? In a perfect world, DJ doesn't grow out of the position, but I'm not sure that's going to be possible to control. I think Flaherty already HAS outgrown it, by the way, especially since the Cubs are already supposedly looking at him as a future utility guy. I think that IF DJ does outgrow 2B, they'll look at him as a 3B(even if he's blocked there). i just think it's kind of telling that the Cubs have already made Flaherty a utility guy anyway. But, I'll say this: DJ's bat is probably going to be ready soon and early next year makes perfect sense to me, especially if he adds a little power. I know the guy hits for average and the primary concern about LeMahieu is his lack of power, but what's really starting to bother me about him is his sheer lack of patience at the plate. He hasn't drawn a walk yet this year. Last season, his IsoD was .032, which is pretty awful. I'll give him credit; he doesn't strike out much. He employs an aggressive approach which results in a lot of balls put into play. So far, it's worked for him. He could potentially learn better plate discipline as he moves up. However, I really have to wonder what will happen to his numbers when he reaches AAA and the majors. Maybe the batting average carries over, but if he's not hitting for much power and not walking when he reaches the majors, how good will he be?

So does that mean we can stop automatically assuming Aaron was "all natural?" Because that would be awesome. Oddly enough, Aaron's career arc matches up surprisingly well with other known PED users. Steroids and other PEDs were available when he was playing, so it wouldn't be particularly surprising if it turned out he used.

If the offense can click for the next month while the Cubs figure out what's going on with Wells and Cashner, this team might be on to something.

Vitters starting at 1B in Tennessee with LeMahieu at 3B. Burgess with another HR. Jeff Antigua started the suspended Peoria game and promptly got hammered.

Oswalt, imo. The next Lincecum is Trevor Bauer when the Cubs draft him.

Kevin Goldstein's Future Shock Given the weather and his bout with mono, 94 is good to hear with Simpson. Apparently his breaking stuff was on last night, too.
