JAVIER BAEZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
I Will Wear Your Golden Sombrero, Señor Baez
I'm concerned, you're concerned. We all have concerns. This is a post concerning Javier Baez and our concerns. More specifically, this is about how concerned we should be if we own him in keeper or dynasty formats. If you're looking for just the 2015 value Baez brings to the table, check out Grey's Top 20 2nd basemen. Honestly, if you're not reading all of his rankings you're doing...

Javy Baez Will Be an All-Star
Javy Baez will be an All-Star in this league. Yes, the same Baez that has struck out 41.6% of the times he has stepped in the box. No, I do not buy my cars from Josh Gordon.
I’ll admit, it is hard to defend a guy hitting .173 with as many strikeouts as Javy Baez but I’m not ready to call him a bust like some fans are, 37 games into his career. In your best 30 for 30 voice, what...

Enough is Enough: Javier Baez is a Bust
The excuses are running thin, quick. For those claiming that his swing is on point and that he is Gary Sheffield-esq and that he’s still young and that power hitters strikeout a ton – GET OVER IT!
It’s better to offer no excuse than a bad one - George friggin’ Washington
Javier Baez has proven that regardless of your excuses, he isn’t any good and should not be a part...

Chicago Cubs: Weekend of promise
Although the Chicago Cubs have seemingly been out of the race for a playoff spot for quite some time now, this weekend against their arch rivals the St. Louis Cardinals shows that the Cubs are very close to competing with the National League Central’s cream of the crop.
If this weekend is a sign of things to come for the Cubs, then there is good reason to be very optimistic as...

Javier Baez and His Swing
Javier Baez’s debut so far in the major leagues has been “hit or miss”. I mean that in a literal sense, Baez has either hit a home run or struck out in exactly half of his 74 major league at-bats. While he has shown some extreme power, his strikeout rate is troubling. Most of his power in generated from the wild hack of a swing he has. Of course, since he only 21, he still...

Video: Javy Baez's first home run at Wrigley Field lands in Waveland Ave
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez had already hit three home runs in his first eight MLB games heading into Wednesday’s Milwaukee-Chicago matchup. And he hit one more on Wednesday night—a moon shot to left field off pitcher Kyle Lohse. The ball was hit so hard that it left the park and landed in Waveland Avenue. Your browser does not support iframes. Lohse hung one and Baez...

Chicago Cubs trade Rumors: Gary Sanchez edition
While the Chicago Cubs have been rumored to be looking for young starting pitching, another big area of need for the organization is the catching position. Currently, the Cubs do not have a catching prospect in the system that projects as a serviceable big league player. They did draft Kyle Schwarber, a catcher out of Indiana University, this year in the draft but most scouts feel...

Chicago Cubs: Three prospects who could make an impact this year
At 18-30, it goes without saying the Chicago Cubs could use a makeover. It nearly took three of four from the San Diego Padres, but lost on Sunday 4-3, resulting in a four game split. It’s not to say this Cubs team is not talented, it just isn’t consistent. Most Cub fans probably cannot stomach another season without winning the World Series. Yet the team is still looking...
