A 20 at-bat sample size in short season class A and suddenly the guy is Babe Ruth? Who is brainwashed and who called him Babe Ruth? It was fairly evident that he wasn't getting anything out of short season ball in Boise. He now goes to Low A Kane County. He is a college guy. We shall see what happens.

I've seen plenty of over the top comparisons all over the inter webs. He may be the next Buster Posey, he may be the next Jeff Clement, who knows. Just the gushing over 20 at-bats is amusing to me, I'm sure plenty of players in all leagues have had similar stretches, it happens in baseball.

I still wonder if they will appease the fans in September with a call-up or keep him down to prevent his service time from starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said yesterday he wanted more than Bailey's $105M. #Cubs knew $85M-plus would be short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so much fun watching that lineup. Schwarber is tied to his bat. Doesn't really have a position, my guess is he sticks in LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
