Jorge Soler Zero Percent Financing Thud On The Shower Door SPLOOGE Fest

[Eli]

So far in AA this year:

20-47 with 14 of those 20 hits being for extra bases (9 doubles, 5 homers.)  
11 Ks, 6 BBs.
.426/.491/.936

We would be splooging all over if his Slugging was his OPS.  

Also, I read somewhere today that Keith Law actually preferred Soler to both Puig and Cespedes as a prospect.  
So, take that for what it's worth.

Maybe here, but it's Insider-protected, so I don't know.

Health is the only issue here. Probably a shot to see him in September in Chicago. He's under contract so service time isn't an issue.

Literally every player in the Cubs system is "under contract," otherwise he wouldn't be there.

I laughed.

That's not quite right.

Once Soler becomes eligible for salary arbitration, he will have the right to choose arbitration instead of the annual salaries specified by his contract, according to a major-league source.

Service time vis a vis free agency isn't an issue.

Plus, he's already on the 40-man. But if he stays in AA, he could hit Tennessee into the playoffs, and he could get more ABs there.

Fork's main concern is that our farm teams give it their all in the playoffs.

That would set up the play-action most splendidly.

I think he still genuinely assumes that minor-leagues wins correlate to ... anything.

I actually thought Fork was just looking for where Soler could get the most ABs, but I'm totally on board if we're just trying to make fun of him.

How long to AA playoffs last? Couldn't he win the AA crown, take home the AA playoff MVP award, mail a signed replica of it to Fork and still show up at Wrigley before the ivy turns purple?

Yes.

The idea is getting him ABs, but if he continues outclassing AA pitching there's no value in keeping him there. Same thing with sending him to AFL for ABs after the season - he'd see better pitching in Winter Ball.

Jorge Soler. A Cub.

Happy Jorge Soler Day

I look forward to doing this for Kris Bryant and Addison Russell in the near future.

I also look forward to doing it for Albert Almora when he finally arrives in the majors in 2017 with the Indians.
