Huge feather in Getz cap

I love the Peters story. There's something extra awesome about a guy who defies expectations for an extended period of time. It's absolutely the best part of baseball.

Hope he pulls a Quintana and parlays a little good luck at the start into sustainable very-goodness.

Pretty crazy. Savannah Banana to MLB All-Star. Already locked up his MLB insurance and pension for life. Crazy thing is he is still young enough at 26 to make some big bucks.

With his plus defense, I do not see why he should not be a long term answer in CF.

Like even if he bats 250 with a 700 ops for the remainder of his control he's one of the top acquisitions this team has ever made

Went from 1 All-Star ??? to 3 All-Stars !!! in a hurry .

Couldn't have happened to nicer guys !

I have been saying it for months, we absolutely have the coolest CF in Chicago......suck it PCA.

Not sure this belongs on this thread but I guess I missed the move. When Mune was activated Gonzo went down. When Eisert was traded who replaced him on the active?

Tyler Schweitzer. Also Gonzo not down anymore, he gone.

Am I the only person thinking a guy coming back from injury, trying to find his timing, going to a home run derby is not the best idea? I am happy for him and it is great for his “brand” and marketability but I hope this doesn’t mess with things.

I agree 100%. I think Home Run Derby is stupid under any circumstance. But coming off of injury? Gracious.

Tyler Schweitzer for now but speculation is that McDougal might be up after the All Star break

And you have a whole slate of pitchers who will assess how their shoulders feel Sunday afternoon. Could be more.

I have not seen any evidence that there will be substantial "regression" in Peters offense. Sometimes Peters will hit a line drive or grounder for an out but more often than not he is seeing the ball and putting a good cut on it. Great eye / hand coordination - a skill that the best contact hitters share.

What player did we eventually give up to Tampa for Peters?

Seems like just cash considerations.

Bonemer is also in Philly for the Futures game, starting at 3B and batting 6th.
