The return of Carl Edwards Jr. with the doubleheader. 

I bet he strikes out 4 in one inning today.

So you're happy with him being the next Bill Bonham?

The return of Carl Edwards Jr. with the doubleheader. 

I bet he strikes out 4 in one inning today.

If he's in long enough, he might walk four guys in one inning.

He hasn't walked a single batter in his last four outings, HATER.

Candelario and Zagunis bumped from AA to AAA.

Candelario and Zagunis bumped from AA to AAA.

Was a little bit surprised by Candelario but his underlying numbers actually are pretty good. Very healthy walk rate, hitting doubles at a decent clip, BABIP is only .261, when he usually is anywhere between .284-.327. Hopefully he does well in the hitter friendly PCL so he can boost his stock by the deadline. He had built up some nice buzz as a trade chip between his hot stint at AA last year, his AFL numbers, and his torrid spring.

Thanks for adding the peripherals.  I've been checking all minor league box scores and stats nearly every day and was concerned about Candelario--he did have one game where he drove in 6 and hit a granny, but I'm glad to hear he was having a lot of Bad BABIP luck.

I started noticing Zagunis more and more lately and he seems to be coming along.  And yeah--I realize the chance of these guys ever playing for the Cubs regularly are about nil but if they're good it should only bolster the organization.

Oh I want the prospects to do better than ever now because I want as many trade chips in the upper minors as possible. Guys tanking teams can throw in the lineup this September/next year and start developing will be the most appealing to them.

Brian Roberts and Jake Peavy will be ours in no time.

The point of a farm system is providing the major league club with players. If Jepstink can trade these guys and get useful parts, that means it's working.

Remember when you were confused about what mansplaining meant or was?  Imagine Fork explaining the menstruation cycle to a woman.  There you go.

Schwarber at Iowa (albeit just 67 PA): .333/.403/.633/1.036 with 23 K (34%) and 7 BB (10.4%)
Bryant: .298/.412/.625/1.037, with 94 K (28.5%) and 45 BB (13.6%)

My God.
