Vitters to replace B-Jax in AFL per Muskat

sounds like Bjax might get called up then

^It does, but Muskat says that means absolutely nothing.

Read he might be playing in Pan-Am games...Why he took off roster

Probably, I heard this too.

 

[Rice Cube]

Is Brett Jackson starting in Iowa tonight? He's sitting against a right-handed starter which makes little sense unless he's already on his way to wherever he's supposed to be.

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah he didn't start...interesting. But I doubt it's a call-up or such. I would think it's an off day, but the season is practically over so why would he.

 

[Jntg4]

More interesting is that Snyder was taken out in Right early in the game, and they just slid Spencer back from 1st base rather than calling on BJax...

Cubs dont like to play young players. Even in AAA

 

[waldo7239117]

I guess we will find out soon enough.

Prolly not...not really. But I kinda wanna find out, even if it is nothing.

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah 3 games left after today. Why would they wanna rest him, that would make absolutely no sense.

I think there's 2 options:

1) He's getting the call (still don't see and no call ups won't happen to at least Tue acording to reports).

2) Getting ready for his winter league (if he is actually in one).

He wouldn't be getting ready for a winter league already... and even if he was he'd still be playing with Iowa... Winter League start around the time or after the Fall League ends, so I highly doubt that's why.

 

[daddies3angels]

It really makes no sense. Only Cubs do something like that

 

[Rice Cube]

BJax is listed in the minor league Gameday lineup as available, but they just sac'ed the DH to have Matt Spencer pitch in a blowout and they haven't called BJax in to play OF. Weird.

 

[Rice Cube]

Spencer has a 0.00 ERA after tonight :lol:

What's sad is that the Cubs let Iowa put him in as a pitcher...

Yeah I saw that....

 

[waldo7239117]

Is her injured? I doubt it and hope he isn't, another option tho.

 

[Jntg4]

Not sure if I should believe this guy, but I saw this post from yesterday on some forum:

I would keep Jacks. BUT, I work for the Cubs organization in AZ and have a little insight for you... He more than likely will NOT see much playing time next season. Even though he is raking AAA, the brass seems to think he is still 1 year from full-time calll up. After next year, Byrd and Sori will more than likely be gone and Jacks is the #1 man to be starting OF in 2013. Of course, that could all change depending on injuries and the slim (but hopeful) chance that they dump Soriano on someone else next year. All in all, keep him!

Better not be true...
