Daytona News-Journal lied to me. Either that or he's hurt. :? missed start due to elbow troubles Gee, I wonder if bringing him out to pitch after a 45 minute rain delay had anything to do with that?

I really like his contact skills, but he jumps all over pitches in the strike zone and does a good job of laying off of pitches outside the zone. He's not the kind of guy who'll swing at crap at his ankles or neck very often. His biggest problem is that he needs to learn how to lay off of pitchers' pitches in the zone.

Jay Jackson would take issue with that. Cashner is a better prospect than Vitters. I know people take issue with how the Cubs develop position players, but Vitters' bat and strike zone recognition are leagues better than anyone we've had in the system for awhile now. Considering he's got a very good chance of sticking at 3B, there's a reason why he's a Top 30 prospect in baseball right now. Cashner's done a great job, but he needs to prove he can stick in the rotation.

Probably Lake. Lee and Castro have pretty much been used exclusively at SS this season, but Lake's been all around the infield. Plus, when I saw him it looked like he still had some growing/filling out to do, which could merit a move to 2B or 3B full-time.

Jay Jackson would take issue with that.

Google News Search turns up nothing. Also, as is expected, 43rd round pick Colin Kaepernick will not be signing with the Cubs and will instead return as The University of Nevada's QB. Link (Need ESPN Insider Access to read full article)

Cubs get a relief pitcher since BJ Ryan won't help the team this season.

The DSL is so hard to evaluate in terms of who has talent and who doesn't, especially when based on stats. You'd think that posting a .324/.405/.459 line as a 19 year old would get someone like Albert Hernandez on the map, but he's back in the DSL this season. OF Jesus Morelli, who put up very good numbers last season, hasn't done much with the AZL Cubs. Starlin Castro and Junior Lake put up decent, but not particularly noteworthy numbers in the DSL. It's disappointing to see those three not do well, but, at the same time, it's hard to get worked up over it when you're talking about different strike zones and the like that can be found in the DSL.

From the looks of it, the Cubs are trying him out at starter for the time being. He's been working hard on a third pitch (changeup) in part because his slider has been inconsistent this season. Since the Cubs are being careful with him after his oblique strain, his pitch counts and inning counts are down since I think he's still around the 80-85 pitch mark for his outings. I don't know if he's advanced enough to help the Cubs this year out of the pen, though. If his slider's inconsistent and his change is still developing, he'd pretty much be a one trick pony at this point.

As memory serves me, the fine was for the Cerda signing. Considering he got a contract from the Cubs and also considering Dail and Pruitt have not signed elsewhere yet, I'm guessing something else happened with them.

It happened this year to the Yankees.

The next Milton Bradley. Does anyone know if BJ Ryan has pitched at all yet? Doesn't look like it, but he's on Mesa's roster.

A new Five Guys opened up near my parents' place in Chicago. Holy God is it awesome.

Despite his ERA and WHIP, Zimmerman has actually pitched really well this season. 86 IP, 84 Ks, 28 BBs, and 9 HRs given up. What's killed him are the 89 hits, which may in part be a result of him having a AA-level defense behind him.

The jokes write themselves with him.

His lack of power is kind of curious, though. The 12/10 K/BB is welcome and strangely amusing, given his reputation when he was drafted.

Enjoyably boring game. Good win.
