Bryant SKOwarber & Zagunis with dongs last night.

Underwood with another good outing - as much as we get giddy about the bats in the system, there are some pretty lively arms too.

Zagunis is a very minor prospect but the guy has really interesting skills. Not much defensively at catcher as of now but he gets on base like crazy. One to keep an eye on peripherally.

Huh? Why will he be traded? The Cubs don't have surplus at catcher.

Vogelbach is a first baseman. Schwarber plays some catcher. You mixed up your fatties.

I read Fork's post as Zagunis being traded to another team.

Zagunis is not a very good catcher. But he can hit.

I don't know if he qualifies as a prospect at 27 years old, but on the one hand we have this:

In Diamondbacks' ex-Cub fetish news, Ronny Cedeno had a run-scoring triple (that's bad), but Brett Jackson struck out looking to end the game (HAHA).

Soler followed this up by reaching base 5 times yesterday also (3-5, 2 BBs.)

Glad to see how he's responding to his first slump.
