Did anyone post this yet?

Javier Baez 'Can Do Whatever The F*ck [He] Wants' - The Deep Dish - SB Nation Chicago

:lol: Baez...what a silly kid.

IDK, but I love that he hit for the cycle. I think he will be the real deal, but has to move up at a good pace.

 

[dabynsky]

Will be interesting to see how long he stays at Boise. Hopefully he can move quickly through the system because his bat does look exciting. Still very early in his development and the incident with the Angels coach isn't the type of thing that I want to be hearing baout our prospects.

Rizzo 3, Isotopes 2 so far in tonight's I-Cubs game.

Cubs in no hurry to call up top prospects Anthony Rizzo and Brett Jackson | HardballTalk

 

[zack54attack]

Rizzo already has 7 HR's...

How has Trey McNutt looked? His numbers and periphs look solid, what's his stuff like?

I think from what I hear, he doesn't go far into games because he makes way too many pitches and is usually out after four or five innings. Sounds like he doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff.

Brett Jackson needs a triple next AB and a home run after that to hit for the natural cycle.

Soon...soon...

Cubs move Gerardo Concepcion up to Peoria


Ivy Envy


Im guessing if he pitches well this year he could take PM spot in the rotation next year but he is still probably 2 years away.

 

[dabynsky]

I think we are a ways away from knowing if Concepcion can be vounted on holding down a rotation spot ever. He got a ton of money but his upside by most accounts is pretty limited.

Muskat's Twitter says Concepcion starts on Wednesday.

Concepcion got all fucked up in the first inning but settled down a bit in the second.

Ugly start for Cubs’ $6 million signee Gerardo Concepcion | HardballTalk

Needs to figure out this location thing, i.e. "do not locate pitch where opposing hitter can destroy baseball" :lol:

 

[FirstTimer]

Peoria is coming to town this weekend. I'll be seeing at least one of the games.

That's not a good sign because supposedly he had an advanced feel for his pitches and his stuff isn't that good.
