IT'S NOT A TYPO: 

1. C-1B Tyler Alamo hit 316/394/474 and struck out just once in 66 Plate Appearances;
2. 19-year old Venezuelan catcher Jhonny Pereda struck out just twice in 47 PA, walked 11 times, and had an OBP near .500, and he threw out 42% of opposing base stealers: 
3. Veteran MLB RHRP Daniel Bard walked seven, hit six, and threw 10 WP in 6.1 IP, with a 19.89 ERA; 
4. LHSP Jose Paulino had a 0.97 WHIP and 1.66 ERA, held opposing hitters to a .171 Avg, and induced ground ball after ground ball to the tune of 35/11 GO/FO, all while working at 92-93 MPH regularly and touching 94-95 periodically; 
5. OF-1B Jose Paniagua struck out 16 times and did not draw one walk in 56 Plate Appearances, yet he still managed to hit .278; 
6. SS Ho-Young Son hit 345 with a 456 OBP, reaching base on a HBP five times in only 68 PA; 
7. Lead-off man CF Kevonte Mitchell stole 14 bases in just 27 games (that pro-rates out to 70+ SB in a full 144 game minor league season), and he was caught stealing only once; 
8. LF Ricardo Marcano hit .288 and collected four doubles and four triples and a HR in 22 games with a .515 SLG %,  and if you pro-rate his doubles & triples out over a 144 game full minor league season you get 25 doubles and 25 triples. 
9. RHRP Dillon Maples surrendered 15 hits, walked 18, hit one, and threw five WP, and yet somehow he only allowed six runs in 14.1 IP;
10. RF Eloy Jimenez hit 323/363/548 in 28 games, and if you prorate his doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases out over a full 144 game minor league season, you get 40 doubles, 15 triples, 15 HR, 90 RBI, and 15 SB. 
11. Boise State linebacker and Cub 1B Joey Martarano struck ouit twelve times in 32 Plate Appearances, yet he still hit .276. 
12. RHRP Alexander Santana struck out 26 in 22 IP, combining a 94-95 MPH heater with a hard-slider. 

Besides Eloy's stellar play, this is the one that gets me the most excited... 4. LHSP Jose Paulino had a 0.97 WHIP and 1.66 ERA, held opposing hitters to a .171 Avg, and induced ground ball after ground ball to the tune of 35/11 GO/FO, all while working at 92-93 MPH regularly and touching 94-95 periodically. Santana could be a nice pen arm moving forward, and I'll be watching Kevonte Mitchell with interest in Eugene this summer. With Sands and Steele along with Paulino, that rotation in Eugene could be fun to follow.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
