Of course. We are so great we can play with like four guys. Emilio, Anthony, Starlin, and Castillo.
GO CUBBIES!

I would like to see what he can do if he started shortening his swing instead of the "all or nothing approach" it seems he has been taking.
He has enough power to drive it out, so learning to hit to the opposite field couldn't hurt him.
His SO per every 2-1/2 AB's is a bit troublesome, and I hope he is not a right handed version of Brett Jackson.

I'd just be happy if Olt started walking more. He's around 5% below where he probably should be and is still striking out a fuckton. On a positive note, Rizzo right now is on pace for 34 HRs. He may cool off eventually but if he gets to 30 as a 24 year old with the other stuff he's currently giving(great OBP) I'm really psyched about his future.

I think we should nickname players that come out of the farm and became really solid players. As everyone knows, it's been quite a few years.
I don't know if Rizzo will ever make it, but IF he continues this approach to his game, and let's set aside his overall foot speed in general, but to Cubs fans, could he be the "Tony Express"?
Or maybe in Italian.............the "Tony Espresso".

Don't they already call him Bear on the team? I seem to recall reading that on cubs den because he likes to sleep or some crap.
