BJax goes 2 for 4 with a solo homerun. How did he get out the other two times? Guess.

According to Matt Szczur (non)prospect Greg Rohan has gotten the call up to AA (I assume that is what dubs is). Kind of curious what the various moves are that are taking place to follow this.

Cubs farm system begins post-Rizzo era

The Kapman gives us a brillant rundown on the Cubs farm system. His highlights of the system including 26 year old Greg Rohan that was just promoted to AA. He also talks about Javier Baez's struggles to acclimate to pro ball (low A slash line .300/.382/.511).

The I-Cubs pitching is terrible.

You say that as if you are surprised when the staff has consisted of Randy Wells, Chris Volstad, Casey Coleman, Jay Jackson, Rodrigo Lopez, and other assorted crap.

When Chris Rusin and Brooks Raley have been the best pitchers at various points this season your starting staff is pretty bad.

If you think that is funny, read the comments and Kaplan's response to it.

The Chicago media sucks.

Kaplan's responses are basically that he talks to scouts..right..then why not actually mention/cite that in your article? Like for example "Despite his impressive slash lines in a typically pitching friendly league(MWL) scouts says it's deceptive because yada yada yada"

LOL at when discussing the farm system talking about a 26 year old who just got promoted from High-A. Seriously?

I sent him a tweet to that effect, but got no response. Baseball coverage just generally sucks since so few take the time to understand prospect development.

Uhh... I talk to scouts and stuff, so I know what I'm talking about. And... and... and... I watch MiLB.TV. So, I know -sticks tongue out-

Well, you can also find scouting reports online that actually contradict his crap. You can find quotes from scouts speaking up Baez posted in the past few days. Oh, and... the Cubs' minor league teams seem to be getting huge ratings on MiLB.TV. So, maybe other people kind of see things too?

Weren't there rumors that Kaplan was at some point was trying to weasel his way into the Epstein regime this past winter? If so, boy am I glad he didn't get a job. I wonder why :bizarro:
