He doesn't have options so.... probably not cuz i doubt he clears waivers.

Risk of be willing to take if someone wants to pick him up on waivers

I just don't get what happened with him. He has to have adjusted something be it arm angle or w/e because while he was never "good" with control he's never been this bad. He's almost double his career walk rate.

Not sure if he'd had an inside the park on that but damn wrong guy in front of him

Must be nice these announcers get free food that we fans have to get a mortgage to afford ...

Really like what i'm seeing from the cubs minor league pitching stat wise. Rucker wasn't great tonight but Tyson Miller threw a pretty good game. Think perception needs to change there. I am guessing people will have a mistaken impression because they don't have any high round pitching other than Little/Lange but they have a lot of really interesting arms.

I've been watching their young arms..

They may not have that stud right now but they have guys who can become quality starters..

Also good to have a nice crop for future trade purposes..

If it’s a righty on the mound....bank on it.

I think fans can stop using that reasoning..

Kid has 100 PA against RH starters and is hitting .306 .355 OBP
.755 OPS..

I think he proven he can handle RHers

Almora can play defense too.....

Where he can also make a big difference in games

Amen. But we are dealing with Maddon.
Absolutely love watching him play CF.

I'm just glad people are finally seeing in Almora what I've been saying for like a year and a half.

Idk man I feel like people on this board have been largely supportive of Almora and wanted to see him play more.

I recommend you go view some of the spring training stuff when he was hitting like .150. The talk then was about how Happ had to play every day in CF.

I know one thing for sure..
We will see Gimenez catching tomorrow noon start..
