Nice Wrigley Bound post on Jeff Beliveau.

I had never heard of this guy before, but it sounds like he has good stuff, just command problems. I think the Cubs are just attracted to that kind of pitcher.

He should be promoted. Like others in ther minors that should be promoted. I think there will be promotions soon. Like, when September call-ups are made.

I don't know about universal promotion. In some cases it is nice to let the guy finish up the year at the level he's had success at. Better to keep your confidence and start the next season at a higher level than get promoted for three weeks now and get beat around.

Looking at the current 40 man roster, I don't think the September callups are going to be terribly exciting. This is the list of guys who haven't been on the team so far this season, and are on the 40 man.

Rafael Dolis (RP)
John Gaub (RP)
Blake Parker (RP)
James Adduci (OF)

With Guzman on the 60 day DL, there is one more open spot. Still, not much there to excite me.

 

[waldo7239117]

I don't see any of those players being called up. I have a felling Parker and maybe Adduci will be removed. They that will make 3 spots open. Also, don't forget about waiver claims . I think their's a good chance, Baker, Fontenot and Nady will be claimed and traded. Then that opens 3 more spots.

This was up this morning, but I just got time to post it in here now.

Today's update.

My question for today- Why don't we here more about Tony Thomas? His OPS is in the .830s and he seems to have some patience at the plate. Shouldn't he be coming to Chicago over Darwin Barney?

Thomas is 24 and still in AA, that's why

I can't believe no one has mentioned michael brenly.

He's not that good. He's OK but I don't think he's a major league catcher.

Nice! Can't wait to see him in the majors.

i know. i was being sarcastic. i think the only reason he's in triple a as it is, is because he's a brenly.

[EnjoyYourTiger]

haha, i know. i'm sorry!

dude, between all the errors tonight and the fact that hoffpauir is up, i feel like i'm watching the daytona cubs...

 

[JCM]

what are the cubs top 5 prospects.

 

[waldo7239117]

3B Josh Vitters (many drop and probably will)
OF Brett Jackson
SS Hak Ju-Lee
P Chris Archer
P Jay Jackson

This is my list, with a little of Baseball America. Archer is not even in top 10 but he is close to getting their.

 

[JustinTCB]

Today's wrap is up, or is it last night's? Whatever, here it is.

Chris Archer= very good

 

[waldo7239117]

Nice post up...I hope all goes good with them.

I'm writing on my blog right now...so it will be up later today. It's about possible September call-ups.

 

[waldo7239117]

Also, David Cales who has been pitching and who I liked. Everything went wrong for him and I'm kind of surprise.
