    DL'd with an ankle injury.

    You SHOULD. Because it means our youngsters have played well enough to get paid bigly in arb. And it means we've added another big FA too. We'll be wanting a few min salary guys to stay close and dip under the LT some seasons, to avoid huge fines and loss of draft picks. The current Iowa roster has at least 3 infielders who are better callup options than Young(4 if you want to stretch and call Caratini a 1B). In the case of needing only a bat where OF are included, that means there's at least 7 better options. If they need someone who can play a decent SS then there's never a shortage of NRI guys to go around so that's not a gap needing to be filled(and poorly in Young's case, given his defense at the position). The idea that the Cubs will need cheap bench players who aren't going to be stars is a fine one, they'll just all be better than Chesny Young.

    Is that a drunk history? Because I want it It appears to be a different CC show: http://www.cc.com/shows/another-period

    It's okay to like both the awesome big league team and have an interest in all the mostly hopeless weirdness that following the minor league system entails. It's also easy to avoid if you have no interest in the latter.

    .750 is what he barely managed at AA. Using La Stella as a guide, this type of profile has descending production as they ascend levels. I'd expect something like a .280/.333/.350 line at Iowa for Young. Is that enough to buy him a summer or two as some non-contender's last man on the bench? Maybe. But no one would plan on that, even as a cost saving measure, and his inability to play a MLB SS hurts those prospects a lot too. Think of the trouble that La Stella has had staying on an MLB roster with a far superior bat and left handedness, Young is a guy who has zero hope of being an MLB regular, can't play SS at the MLB level, and isn't going to hit any better than a reserve C/SS/CF at best. He's cannon fodder.

    The Giants and Mets have the two worst records in the national league at the moment.

    A non prospect? So, you think he's never making the majors......Or you don't know what NP implies.(and I know you do) Young will not play in the majors in any meaningful capacity. I'm not going to say he never spends a day on an MLB roster through some circumstance, but he's not someone who is at all a consideration for roster construction. La Stella hit .320/.402/.467/.869 as a minor leaguer. Young hasn't gotten past AAA yet and is at .307/.375/.379/.755(very similar, if slightly worse, than La Stella's combined AAA line). When your only talent is your hit tool, you still need enough pop to force high level pitchers to take you seriously or else your walk rate plummets too. Maybe Young has another adjustment in him, but you're seeing this already with him at Iowa, .244 average and sub-5% walk rate thus far.

    Chesny Young is a non-prospect. La Stella can hit and hit with some pop, Young can not.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Chesny Young is a homeless man's version of La Stella, if that homeless man was wheelchair bound too.

    MLBN exists to promote MLB and increase its popularity. If they can get wider distribution of their content without taking a financial bath, then they win even if ESPN 'steals' those viewers.

    I'll take 'problems that will solve themselves in a week' for $400.

    They seem to be getting closer to self awareness. Or maybe apathy is closer to self awareness than delusion by default.
