I wouldn't worry about Schwarber at AA. He is a year out still

I believe the max rehab assignment is 30 days. Might call him up for the forthcoming roadtrip as they are seriously pitching heavy right now.

Outside of the bat speed/power, AA was rated "Best Infield Arm in the Florida State League in 2012" and "Best Defensive 2b in the Pacific Coast League in 2014" according to Baseball America. Baez isn't going to be a better base stealer. He doesn't have any more speed than AA. In a switch hitting contest, AA would win. Perhaps you undervalue switch hitting as a talent. AA didn't figure MLB pitching out. So far Baez hasn't figured MLB pitching out. When he does, then you're on to something.
AA might be a more well-rounded and versatile prospect than Baez, but Baez's hit/power potential is so astronomically superior, and hitting is so much more valuable than baserunning/defense, that I really don't understand how you can argue they're equal prospects.

I haven't argued that they are equal prospects, Captain Strawman.

I just think it’s nice the Cubs have this problem right now rather than miring in the crap prospect sandwich that was Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters .....:fist:

What? Alcantara is no where near as talented as Baez. Alcantara has speed and pop for a little guy. His defensive is pretty suspect. He has a strong arm, but is not accurate at all. His throws from center were awful last year. Yet again, Baez ceiling is that of a superstar. Alcantara at his best would be a hell of a player but wouldnt hit superstar realm. Yet again, it will figure itself out. Baez is doing him and thats all he needs to worry about.
Also, Parade you are completely wrong about Baez being given anything. When he was drafted, people scoffed he was to high and everyone bitched about the pick. Scouts werent in love with him. He made himself known. Read any big scout out there and they say Baez changed their perception of him. No one had him being a top 10 prospect. After AA, he got cocky and the Cubs wanted to humble him. Scouts said this year is a totally different Javy. A lot more humble. He keeps working like he is I have no doubt this kid is going to make his name known in the majors.

LOL. A #1 pick is always going to get more of a shot than another player. Why? They have more of an investment in that player. As for scouts, the only ones that mattered were the Cubs scouts. If "everyone" bitched about the pick, he wouldn't have been taken.
And I'm going to edit this by saying AA got his shot last year. He was even given the opportunity early this season, too.

There is nothing semantical about the difference between a prospect and talent.
Prospect- 6b : a likely candidate for a job or position
— in prospect
: possible or likely for the future
Talent- 4a : a special often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude

This just in...scouts report AA is more talented than Baez at tiddleywinks. What other less consequential skills than "hitting the baseball Fucking Hard" is AA also besting Baez at? Stay tuned to find out!

Can't tell if the sound is just shit on my feed of the game or if it's the broadcast.
