ANTHONY RIZZO RUMORS

Anthony Rizzo Rumors: Cubs AAA affiliate pulls cheap publicity stunt?

The Chicago Cubs AAA affiliate, the Iowa Cubs, made a huge PR department blunder tonight; their media relations employees appear either a.) incompetent or b.) manipulative. When the organization itself (the insider of all insiders) gets the news wrong, as they did regarding top prospect Anthony Rizzo, it’s either gross negligence or a desperate play for publicity. You tell...

Anthony Rizzo Taken Out Of Game: Likely Called Up to Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs might be getting some help in the form of super prospect Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo was taken out of the Iowa Cubbies AAA game in the 6th inning and was seen going straight to the clubhouse. That’s a pretty simple sign that Rizzo is on his way to Chicago, and likely will join the club tomorrow against the San Diego Padres. This isn’t a surprise as Rizzo has...

The Chicago Cubs are nearing the Abyss

I really don’t know what to say. I am at a loss for words. What is there to say? There is not an answer. And if you think Anthony Rizzo is one, put down the drink right now. I saw the movie “The Abyss” when I was young. I really don’t remember anything other than it was under water and I was scared. And watching the Cubs … well, I feel the same thing. I might not see the...

Iowa Brett Jackson went 2-4 and DID NOT STRIKEOUT! Hopefully bizzaro Jackson can keep that up. Anthony Rizzo hit a double but did not hit another HR so basically he is the batting equivalent of NOT AN ACE! One interesting fact about Iowa is that our bullpen is currently the land of misfit RP's. Retreads [...]

Anthony Rizzo Nearing Call To Chicago Cubs

It’s only the middle of May, but this Chicago Cubs team has been a bit mroe exciting to watch than many expected them to be. If it wasn’t for an abysmal bullpen, they’d actually be a pretty decent ballclub, at least in terms of their record. In fact, they may actually have an All Star not named Starlin Castro. Bryan LaHair has been an absolute force in the Cubs...

The Children Are The Future-Cubs Minor League Update Sponsored by Ortho Home Defense

Iowa Anthony Rizzo just keeps mashing as he hit his 12th HR of the year. When he gets here and LaHair moves to LF it might be an interesting offense to watch. Brett Jackson got on base once and made the most of it by stealing 2 bases. Jay Jackson has been moved to the [...]

When will we see Brett Jackson and Anthony Rizzo?

Everyone here has heard of a Super Two player. Here is the necessary criteria for becoming a super two: at least 2, but less than 3 years of service time with at least 86 days of service in the immediately preceding season. In other words, someone who has 42 days of service one year and [...]

Chicago Cubs Top Prospect Anthony Rizzo Mashing In AAA

Anthony Rizzo is the Chicago Cubs top prospect, and he’s off to a hot start in AAA, which is huge for the slugger who struggled at the big league level last year for the San Diego Padres. Rizzo launched another 2 homers the other day which brings his total to 5- which leads the entire minor leagues. Anthony Rizzo has a bright future. He’s shortened up his swing a tad...
