Down On The Farm:Cubs Minors Discussion Thread

[daddies3angels]

Vitters bobbled a grounder at him that should have been a double play ball. He recovered to get the runner at 2nd, but that allowed the first run to score in the inning.

Cost team a run. I bet he makes it up with bat. Stewart cant do that

Dave Sappelt with a Tony Campana style hustle double. Dude is fast.

Beliveau comes in after Bowden surrenders a single and two walks. One down, all ducks on the pond belong to Bowden.

Still sucks in AAA lol

He allowed two of the runners to score so far.

IMHO I think Rizzo should be in the MLB all star game.

I think Reed Johnson will be gone by the trade deadline and Sappelt will be caled up.

Sappelt has been pretty bad an Iowa this year.

Yeah I know, but what has Reed Johnson done for the Cubs? They will even it out and whoelse can be called up? The only name that I can really think of of whom does not need much playing time is Sappelt.

I don't think it matters. Reed Johnson is also making over a million dollars so they'll keep him around until the waiver deadline and then the call-ups can start. I don't think he'll be released or anything and at that point rosters expand so both guys can stick around and share playing time.

I think he'll be traded... teams will have interest in Johnson. There's no way by any means that the Cubs will release him.

Heyman just tweeted this:

also on #cubs, they dont expect to call up rizzo very soon. only surety, it will be before july 31 trade deadline

 

[Rice Cube]

If that's the case they can probably avoid Super Two with both Rizzo and Jackson.

 

[Jntg4]

Jackson and Rizzo go back-to-back

Rizzo likes hitting HR.

Dude is putting up Brian LaHair numbers in the PCL...(this being his second time through there and at age 22 makes it a whole lot more impressive though).
