Also reported by Bleacher Nation. Excited to see what he does there. Will be interesting how Baez/Bryant perform in the same lineup

Was just thinking the same thing. My hopes is a call up for Alcantara and moving Villanueva to 2b? Or move Baez to 2b and Villanueva to short?
I have no idea really just throwing it out there.

Looks like I was wrong about him skipping AAA. We'll see if I'm right about him not needing it. I still think he's going to destroy the PCL. If pitching doesn't challenge him then with the PCL being a big hitters park league he's going to crush the ball.

So it keep looking like the idea is to have him up by july/aug after they trade/move some players.
Best case scenario for them is if Baez starts to heat up more and possibly alcantara and all 3 will be up at some point this year.

For what it's worth Bryant's k rate over the past 90 or so at bats has been hovering around 20%

I think this is great news. I really hope to see him up in the Bigs by September.

@CarrieMuskat: Chris Valaika starting at 3B tonight for @IowaCubs. Bryant expected there Thursday. #Cubs
Wonder if they plan on bringing Villanueva up or if a trade is close...

I just might have to. That is an incredibly talented I-Cub roster that is unlikely to be matched any time soon.

I would move Christian over to 1B. Get him ready as a corner IF reserve.

I don't think he will be up in the majors this season. Plan is for next season. Unless he goes on an absolute tear

I would agree with that. I can see Iowa going for the title and Bryant/Baez getting a Sept call. Alcantara I'm thinking gets promoted in July to play 2B.

Todays line up:
Alcantara 2B
Kalish CF
Baez SS
Lopez C
Valaika 3B
Vitters 1B
Jackson RF
Szczur LF
Beeler P
Alcantara 2 BB. That is what he needs to do going forward. Just get on base.
Not seeing Villanueva. He has put up .211/.283/.372 I'm thinking this is going to lead into a demotion here.
Time for management to get the ship right vs play around.
