Russell, Lester, and Contreras are injured, now's our chance! [Cubs insert Baez, Montgomery, and Avila, all better than first choice Brewers at their position]
I didn't realize that Short was playing 100% SS at Myrtle Beach. That's really nice to see considering I had him pegged as a non-factor there when he was equally splitting time across 3B/SS/2B at Low A. Also good to see the batting average tick up at High-A, all the contact and elevation doesn't do you much good if you can't get enough hits in A-ball.
i may be completely wrong but i think the price came down considerably and was insane at first, which was my main issue with it. When the list price was higher it was also really easy to find discounts. If I had to guess I'd say that eventually the price increases since they're subsidized by VCs, but the exact equilibrium is hard to tell.

I'd say Tseng is higher than Underwood for me and its not that close. Underwood needs a longer stretch for me to invest again. Production vs potential... Me, I'll take Underwood's potential all day long. Tseng could be Hendricks Jr., but Hendricks is an outlier. Saying that, a month ago I had Undrwood off the 40-man. But, he's got ace stuff... That's who I'd gamble on. I have some iron pyrite jewelry that I'd like to sell you.
Gibbons' defensive alignment bit him hard on Almora's double. Donaldson maybe makes a play on that ball, and Aoki had to have been swung way over to LCF to not be able to keep Hendricks at 3rd.
