Maybe they are. After all, Rabbit didn't necessarily imply that this was happening Saturday- just that his time at the game on Saturday will be better.

Can you think of a better way to troll the Cubs? I'd honestly love it

Yes. I think it's most likely Harvey, then Eloy, then Kopech.

We already have the extra year of control. Any more waiting is due to financial reasons

It would be a great story but the realist in me thinks it would be a 5 IP, 3 R, 6 SO kind of start

It's (theoretically) a permanent promotion.

From my experience, I have been asked if I want onions on the $1 hot dogs every time. Maybe it's just because I go to the one by section 130something (138 or so?) every time

My guess is Matt Harvey.

Good. More potential value with him than there is with Gonzalez by a long shot.

One of Collins or Zavala should be promoted around early June so that they can each catch more IMO. Quality of competition is about the same if not slightly worse anyway.

Quite the inning there.

Is it safe to say Eloy Jimenez has been figured out? He just popped out in foul territory. Awful.

The classic Marco Scutaro play. Love it

Eloy is #ForcingTheIssue

Very pleased by this news, but I still have doubts as to whether he'll actually appear in an MLB game again. Hope he proves me wrong.

He certainly deserves it. Cedeno too.

Bunting for Adam Engel to get a shot with RISP is always a smart move

Tank win

I thought he was sarcastic but I guess he actually meant it. Wow

This is all true. I also think that batted ball stats need to be taken into consideration, although at AA that's obviously easier said than done. I only brought that point because I couldn't tell if Daggins was implying that his BABIP was high, which has since been clarified.

I agree with everything in this post except for the last part- I'm not calling him a stud (on offense) because of 2 weeks. It's the entire body of work that impresses me. His career minor league numbers are what prompt my excitement in him. I also believe his slugging % and home runs will increase in MLB because a. Birmingham is very pitcher friendly b. The juiced ball is causing a power surge in players who get called up from the minors lately

Don’t know if this is what you were implying but a .300 BABIP is actually below average, and often suggests an increase in his batting average. But it’s his on base skills that have me excited.

Collins is an absolute monster offensively. I hope those who jumped ship due to a bad 2 weeks in April are watching this.
