2011 Cubs Minor league thread

I have a very strong feeling about Jae Hoon Ha. I saw him a couple times in Peoria last year. I think he has some potential.

He has put up good stats in the minors. Let's see if he can keep it up. He's also still young and will keep improving. Sezur CF, Jackson LF, Ha RF, Colvin 4th OF/1B in a few years?

Good to see BJax have a nice day

If Jackson keeps doing what he is doing, Byrd may be traded soon, So he can get called up. Or Kosuke is traded and Colvin will be the 4th OF/1B.

Lineup could be: (With Byrd)
SS Castro
2B Barney
CF Byrd
3B Ramirez
1B Pena
C Soto
LF Soriano
RF Jackson
P Pitcher

Lineup could be: (without Byrd)
SS Castro
2B Barney (until Jackson gets PA then moved down to 8)
1B Pena
3B Ramirez
LF Soriano
C Soto
RF Colvin
CF Jackson

Not exactly like this but something like this.

Kosuke is probably the first candidate with a departure ticket

 

[waldo7239117]

Has anyone thought of this.... Kosuke or Byrd to Texas? While Hamilton is out for 2+months. Wouldn't be that bad of an idea. Day? Davis? Prospects?

I wish we would utilize Byrd correctly in the lineup first.

I don't care where he's the lineup. The Cubs will just need another OF spot open. And I think it will be Byrd being traded or Colvin moving to 4th OF/1B.

See what happens.

Texas has Murphy. I think they will be okay.

Yeah, true but they didn't want to lose Byrd and wanted Byrd back. Will a trade happen? No but just a quck thought.

I am not ready to give up on Shark. Too good of an arm to just throw away. If he can find the plate I think he can be a very solid MR.

I think most Cub fans think that but it's been so long and hasn't happen yet. When are you ready to give up on Stark? It has been awhile already. He really only has a fb he can throw for strikes.

Give the new pitching coach a shot.

Yeah I guess but Larry wasn't a bad pitching coach ans I only saw a minor change.

Sometimes its more or less of a different philosophy
