Journeymen of Tomorrow: Minor League Leaders

Once a month, I'm going to take a look at the Cubs leaders at each level in various statistics and how they rank among the larger group. The stats are current through the end of April. It's awfully early in the season and these shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's far too early to the look at the pitchers so I'm not going to do that until next month. AVG (all...

Prospect Stock Watch – 04/19/13

2013 Cubs Prospects Ratings

A little over 2 weeks ago, I wrote an article with Uncle Dave's help about a different way to rate prospects. Dave got the idea from Hockey's Future. Dave's explanations of what each number grade (ceiling) represented was so awesome that I used it word for word. I did want to clarify something on the letter grades (floor). An A represents a player who could lose a grade...

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.

Baseball thoughts on a Saturday evening

On the World Baseball Classic Unfortunately, my lack of cable and the lack of accessible online streaming of the games in this year’s WBC meant that I couldn’t watch any games live. I was, however, able to follow along on Twitter and via Gameday, so that was cool. As a naturalized American citizen I was disappointed that the USA couldn’t move on to the semifinals in San...

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...
