Josh Vitters is, um, like, awesome

[Quality Start Machine]

If I new somebody was going to sweep up after me, I wouldn't even bother to get up and go to the bathroom.

he said sweep, not mop/shovel.

Figured you new that.

Depends on how long you let it sit there before you try to clean it up.

Saw him play a couple times this year in Peoria, and he doesn't walk cause he swings at about every pitch like Nomar used to.  Makes contact a lot, but is not the most selective guy, granted he is still very young.

I just watched Daytona for four straight games, and Hendry waits until the very next day to promote Vitters.  JIM MUST GO

PITTSBURGH -- The Cubs promoted two first-round draft picks, sending third baseman Josh Vitters from Class-A Peoria to their advanced Class-A Daytona team, and right-hander Andrew Cashner from Daytona to Double-A Tennessee.

Vitters, the No. 1 pick from '07, hit .316 at Peoria with 15 home runs and 46 RBIs in 70 games. Cashner, the No. 1 pick in '08, had a 1.50 earned-run average in 12 starts. He's pitched only 42 innings, as the Cubs are going slowly in his conversion from reliever.

Also promoted to Daytona from Peoria was right-hander Chris Carpenter, who, like Vitters, was also a Midwest League All-Star.

I hereby reserve the right to claim that the DAMN FOOL KUBBIEZ screwed Vitters' development by promoting him too fast.

DPD. The Bears suck balls, so let's distract ourselves with some irrational prospect optimism. Starlin Castro (.985 OPS) and Vitters (.881 OPS) are both playing well in the small-sample wonderland of the Arizona Fall League.

And Starlin got the full Muskat treatment last week.

Dave Keller, the Cubs' Minor League hitting coordinator, projects Castro will be with the big league club by the middle of the 2010 season. How does he know? One of the projects Keller assigns to the Minor Leaguers is to keep a journal. He doesn't want to read that they went 2-for-4 that day, but Keller asks that they describe their feelings, either at the plate or in the field or on the bench. The journals must be handwritten. Castro, who wrote his in Spanish, was organized and to the point, Keller said.

Studies show that baseball players who can write words are ten times more likely to become All-Stars.

Mark DeRosa went to an Ivy League school which proves everything. Brawn and brains.

Three HRs? They don't have fences on the fields in that league?

I'm just impressed that Castro could write that whole journal in Spanish.  Does he speak or write any other languages?

[Powdered Toast Man]

I'm impressed that this little fucker's name is "Starlin."
