Despite being down 9-4 in the 5th, Iowa rallied back and scored 8 runs to take a 12-9 lead going into the 8th...only to give up 7 runs in the next two innings to lose 16-12. Crazy game.

Casey Harman did yeoman's work for Clemson today, posting a line of 6 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, and a WP while collecting the W.

Is Aramis going to be with Iowa then or will he be done? The Quad Cities paper (team who played Peoria during his rehab) made it sound like he was joining the Cubs but he can't come off the DL for a couple more days can he? He is eligible to come off the DL on Wednesday. I assume he'll just make the trip with the team. Considering he's not in Iowa's starting lineup today, your assumption seems correct.

I think the problem with judging the Pac Rim prospects it, quite simply, we haven't had nearly enough time or enough players to make a judgment on how effective the Cubs have been at scouting and developing prospects signed out of the Pacific Rim since the Cubs placed a renewed emphasis on it. Dae-Eun Rhee was the first big splash, and he's only at Daytona following a setback due to TJS. Put simply, it is way too early to judge if the Pacific Rim expeditions have been fruitful for the Cubs.

Along with his second SB. .000/.333/.000, 2 SB in 6 AB. Great line. Yao-Lin Wang with a horrible first pro inning - 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, Is it wrong that I'm vaguely hoping for him to go 0/20 with 10 BBs in his first 30 PAs? Meanwhile, Wang's made a very nice recovery since his disaster of a first inning, with a perfect subsequent two innings. His final line: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K Brandon May is currently hitting the heck out of the ball. He's 3/3 and a triple short of the cycle. He's 22 and on the old side for the NWL, so I'm guessing he'll get bumped up in the near future. My memory of him was that the Cubs were holding him back in EXST to try him out at catcher, but he's only been used at 1B and DH so far in Boise. His bat was never an issue with him. Joseph Zeller is the first Cubs 2010 draftee to make his debut. He's pitched a scoreless inning in relief so far.

Along with his second SB.

Vitters is starting at 3B for Tennessee, which clears up any worries about yesterday's HBP and subsequent Samson substitution.

Goes as disastrously as you would expect

Grizzlies extend Chris Wallace. :-))

A-Ram is 1/1 with a BB, R, and RBI so far.

Vitters had an AB after his HBP, so it might have been nothing.

Keep sucking, suckers.

It's worth noting the Tennessee Smokies have already clinched their division first half title and will be in the playoffs come September.

Crum dropped his commitment to Ohio State because of Bob Todd's retirement. He's committed to Blinn JC now. A six figure bonus might be enough to get him signed.

I count four Tommy John surgery survivors starting these games.

Strange top of the 9th for the Smokies and Bay Bears.

Good Brett Jackson, too.

IT'S A TRAP!

I wouldn't expect the moon for Theriot, but something along the lines of a DeRosa deal could be attainable. Stevens/Archer/Gaub was considered a mixed bag of C-level prospects with some upside at the time and it seems to have panned out pretty well. I could see a team giving the Cubs a grab bag for Theriot.

3rd rounder Micah Gibbs signed.
