Yea, I'm sure no one seen someone with nearly a 1.000 OPS in a pitchers league getting called up to the majors.

He is Korea... how many Koreans do we have on the team? 0. in Peoria he has Ha, at least. Plus, he is 19.

I know he's 19 but he will be 20 time next season comes. I just would l;ike to see, what that kid can do in the majors. The Cubs are out, I just want top spects to get called up. Not the avergae spects. But, that's what is going to happen. Like, Jackson, Jackson, Archer, Lee, Carpetner, etc. That would be so cool. Anyone else think that?

Trey McNutt is an underrated prospect. 32nd round pick by the Cubs in the 2009 Draft and he's been excelling ever since. He's got a great fastball and a power curveball, and he can strike guys out (10.51 K/9 in the minors so far). He needs to develop a 3rd pitch, but he's a steal by Tim Wilken and the Cubs

Opinions on Chris Archer in AA? He went to my high school.

He's got the potential to be an ace. He can be better than Cashner. Will he? Who knows...

This was up this morning, but I just got time to post it in here now.

Today's update.

My question for today- Why don't we here more about Tony Thomas? His OPS is in the .830s and he seems to have some patience at the plate. Shouldn't he be coming to Chicago over Darwin Barney?

**waldo7239117** · 08-09-2010, 06:37 PM

I think Barney is more of a proven hitter in hitting the ball and contact. But, Thomas has more power and takes more walks. So, it's a toss up.

No time for a full post today.

Brett Jackson went 2-4 though, so he's pretty good at baseball still.

Tonight on the farm

AAA Iowa @ 7:05- SP: Jeff Samardzija
AA Tennessee @ 7:15- SP: Chris Archer
High A Daytona @ 7:05- SP: Dae-Eun Rhee
Low A Peoria @ 7- SP: Su-Min Jung

Those first three starters are arguably the biggest name on their respective starting staff.
