JAVIER BAEZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
Cubs Prospects on the Decline
Before this season, both dmick/Uncle Dave and I made our prospect lists. These aren't the only prospects in the Cubs system, but they are nearly all the ones worth talking about. I might have missed a prospect here or there, but it's a good jumping off point. The list of the first 21 is right here:
Javier Baez 65
Jorge Soler 65
Dan Vogelbach 65
Albert Almora 60

Prospect Stock Watch – 04/19/13
Javier Baez, SS, Chicago (NL)
Baez, 20, hit .333 at the low-A ball level in 2012 but he did it while walking just nine times in 57 games. He then finished his injury-shortened season with another 23 games in high-A ball but struggled. His plate issues have continued into 2013 with 18 strikeouts and two walks in 58 at-bats. While his aggressive nature has not helped his batting average...
Cubs’ Baez demoted, but not before leaving a big impression
The Cubs’ plan since day one of Spring Training was to have outfield prospect Javier Baez start the year in the minor leagues, either in High-A ball or at Double-A.
Sunday the Cubs stayed true to their plan by demoting the 20-year old to their minor league camp, but not before he opened some eyes and dropped some jaws during his limited time.
Baez ended his stint in big-league...
That time Baez destroyed a baseball
My friend has completed a cycle of 28 winters and as is custom we got together to enjoy drink, song, and women. We got a fairly late start to the festivities as I was being lame and updating this site. We still celebrated with panache. As the night progressed we got the order mixed up and we started to enjoy song, women and drink, then it was drink, drink and drink. Either way it...
Javier Baez Leaves Team Japan Lost In Translation
Javier Baez homered in consecutive at bats, crushing a solo home run in the 7th and a walk-off two-run bomb in the 9th, helping to rally the Cubs to a 7-5 victory over Team Japan this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, AZ.
Team Japan is in Phoenix preparing for the World Baseball Classic Championship Round that will be played in San Francisco next...
Baseball America’s Cubs Top 10 is out, is interesting
First things first, here is the top 10 list BA has given for the Cubs this year.
1. Javier Baez, SS
This is basically a unanimous projection. There’s an outside case for Albert Almora or Jorge Soler, but neither has the upside of Baez, and he also had the best minors season of the 3 also. No surprise here. I’d be pretty shocked if Baez wasn’t in the top 10 of baseball next...
Javier Baez injures thumb, probably done in the AFL
Javier Baez injured his thumb on Saturday and is likely not to play again this season. CHICAGO — Shortstop Javier Baez, the Cubs' top prospect, may be done for the Arizona Fall League season after injuring his left thumb on Saturday. Baez, who was playing for the Mesa Solar Sox, was removed from Saturday's game [...]

Baez Hits for the Cycle at Diablo

In addition to his big day at the plate, Baez also stole a base (3rd base following his...
