Outshined_One

I was harping on the luck correction earlier in the season. Glad to see him come around. :D

Will someone please get Jay Jackson out of the corner? I think he's learned his lesson. Vitters hit his first HR in the FSL today. Good times.

Offer him arbitration and offer him two years with an option for a third year based on health/IP. If he walks, someone else will scoop him up and forfeit their picks.

Brooks Raley made his professional debut with the AZL Cubs, pitching a perfect inning and striking out one.

I'm with you on that general assessment. Considering a number of the Cubs' top prospects have hit the wall in Daytona following an excellent season in Peoria, it seems like Daytona is a make or break point for our hitters, especially the ones who have had issues with plate discipline. However, considering Jackson is doing nothing short of destroying the ball down in the MWL after a mere 17 games, it's impossible to ignore his success. If he finishes the season OPSing over .900 while walking at a decent rate and keeping his strikeouts at a manageable level, I'll seriously consider him a Top 5 prospect in this system.

I fully expect him to chip away at that number today.

I'd offer Harden arbitration and be open to signing him to a 1-2 year deal. His injury history is really worrying, but when he's on...yikes.

Updates from ongoing games: Iowa's up 6-3 on Tacoma in the 7th. Luis Rivas has three doubles. Boise's going to extras, tied at 3. Whitenack got the start and went 5 innings, striking out 4 and giving up 2 unearned runs. Larry Suarez followed Austin Kirk down in Mesa. He's walked 3 in 1.1 IP so far. C Sergio Burruel is 2/4 with a double (yay!) and a passed ball (boo).

That is fantastic news. He was one of the few bright spots in our system early last season. My memory was that he had very advanced secondary stuff for his age, but a FB that hovered in the 88-90 area. Sounded kind of like a Tim Alderson type of pitcher. Am I right, or is my memory failing me?

His faceplant against the wall was pretty impressive Yeah, he initially had a bad read on it, meaning he had to run like heck to make the catch, resulting in him hitting the wall pretty hard. It still would have been a difficult catch if he got a good read/good jump on it.

Considering Ceda hasn't pitched this year due to shoulder surgery, I'm okay with who we traded to get Gregg.

It seems like his walks have dropped a bit recently as well. Is that true, or am I making things up? Last 10 Games

There we go.

Uh oh.

Sam Fuld just learned that there are bricks behind the ivy.

That's an awesome formation.

I'm convinced the A&W Show flight path was intentionally placed over Wrigley.

Glad he managed to trap that. If it got past Fuld, that would have been a disaster.

"He was pretty matter of fact about the apocalypse." :-))

Bob moreso than Len, imo.

Not a fan of that being a short inning for the Cubs, but I am a fan of that interview being cut short.

I hope he runs like a man though. He does. The guy has plus speed for a reason.
