Javier Baez 2014 ROY-MVP-World Series MVP Thread

[Quality Start Machine]

Baez will be fine.  As of today's Bryant's maybe jockeyed ahead of him but who gives a shit?  More reason to get me excited.  So now Baez'll sit out for a bit-kid's had a little rough 2 week start, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to slow it down after the hype he mashed through in Mesa. Something something the future's *full* of peaks and valleys.  Like I said--shut up, Archer- Baez will be fine in any event.  Meanwhile, Almora's off to a solid start, and we haven't even heard from future TE Jorge Soler. 

Jorge Soler plays football?

I don't understand this at all.

Maybe from this?

Beyond the draft, the Cubs spent $30 million on powerful Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler, of whom GM Jed Hoyer says, "If he'd grown up in this country, he'd be a defensive end."

And Defensive Ends pick up the Tight End in the 11-on-11 defensive scheme. Geez, I thought you played football, man.

Not sure if I'd have the DEs pickup the TE in the 11-on-11 d scheme. I'd suspect you'd want an OLB to do that, maybe.

DE's pick up the TE (Tackle-Eligible).

we're getting really close to 43-man Squamish terriroty here.

Tight End, Defensive End. Whatever.  Apparently the guy's pretty big.

As others apparently are.

I think y'all who are worrying about or not worrying or whatever about Baez are missing the point a bit.  The Cubs have a ton of amazing minor league talent.  7 of the top BP101 and that doesn't really include all the international talent they signed last year (top two available, per BA).  Plus they have the fourth pick in June.

So, take it easy, Tonker and Pen.

I, too, am excited about the talent that the Cubs have, and am confident that some or all of it is going to make a significant difference to their fortunes in the very near future.  Huzzah!  Indeed, it's precisely because of this that getting one's knickers in a knot about Baez' performance after a couple of weeks of a new season at a higher level is utterly, utterly, UTTERLY FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

Yeah. And if there was anyone here reacting to the last couple weeks I'm sure this great point would have changed his mind.

If Baez had started in AAA the way he finished in AA, there's no fucking way we're having this conversation now.

That's what I was attempting to say. 

Baez is down?  Next man up.  Keep the line moving, boys.

Oleg is absolutely right. Rather than have "THE GUY", like Corey Patterson or Felix Pie have been in the past, Jepstink have set this organization of with waves of guys.

You think Cub fans are insufferable now? Wait until we get a couple chammenships under our belts.

A Desippy to Chuck D. since we're so close to Easter.

TIME TO WAIT!
