Another J Baez? Hopefully that guy isn't nightblind, too.

I can only assume Eloy and Gleybar are going to AA or something.

a Chris Rusin superfan? Good god.

I'm guessing Brooks Raley was already taken.

I can't tell if this is snark or not, but Eloy and Gleybar are currently hanging out with Manny in the Arizona Instructional League.  



Word is that they're supposed to make their way to the Dominican Summer League shortly.

Also worth noting that Eloy is fucking enormous, and he's only 17 years old.  
For reference, Manny is 6'0, 225.

Hard not to think getting Manny to hang out down there for a bit and then in AAA isn't going to energize some of the kids who come in contact with him and probably idolized the shit out of him.

Call me crazy but I'm still rooting for a Manny appearance on the 25-man this season (if he can still play).  Why the hell not.

Maybe the twenty or thirty times Theo made sure to emphasize in the original announcement that this wasn't on the table?

"While Manny is not and will not be a fit on the Cubs major league roster, we do think at this stage of his life he's a nice fit as a mentor for some of the young talented hitters we have in the organization. Manny will coach full-time and play part-time in a limited role that does not take at-bats away from our prospects. If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the major leagues and help another team, but that is not why he is here. We are thrilled that he wants to work with our young hitters and make a difference."

I don't think Thrill's being pedantic about grammar so much as he's (rightfully) being pedantic about clarity.  Seems what you wrote may well be grammatically pure, just a little tough to comprehend what you were saying with the two negative clauses.  I'm still not 100% sure if you were saying Manny would have a positive or negative effect on these lads.
