I'm gonna say Kyle Schwarber is a little too good for the Northwest League.

 

20 ABs.

20 ABs.

 

 

Well 20 at-bats got him promoted to Kane County.

Kyle Schwarber Hit Two Homers Today - And Has Reportedly Been Called Up to Kane County http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/06/17/k...to-kane-county/ … #Cubs

What was his line?

What was his line?

 

1.975 OPS

1.975 OPS

And four HRs in those 20 ABs.

Theo truly has everyone brainwashed. A 20 at-bat sample size in short season class A and suddenly the guy is Babe Ruth?

More like the white Josh Gibson.

#Angels, #Indians, #Reds also had scouts at Samardzija's start last night for #Cubs. Could have been there for variety of reasons...

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.

Such as Courtney Hawkins first year in the playoffs in High A ball, for example.

Can't wait to join the @IowaCubs tomorrow! Thank you to @smokiesbaseball and all my teammates for so many great memories!

It was expected they would promote him right after the AA All-Star Game. 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.

I do not expect the Cubs to promote him this year.

They would be stupid to promote Bryant before the middle of next year at the earliest.

IN this day and age, that is an insult.

ICYMI samardzija didn't counter cubs 5-yr offer http://cbsprt.co/1qtejf9 update: @jonmorosi pegs at $85M-plus (my est 75-80)

Per @jonmorosi report on Samardzija. Said yesterday he wanted more than Bailey's $105M. #Cubs knew $85M-plus would be short.

Legend of Kris Bryant continues...homers in first AAA game. He gets incredible loft from his swing.

I always pull for Hoosiers. 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.

Theo Epstein says he doesn't foresee a scenario where Kris Bryant will be called at some point this season. #Cubs

Been stashing away Baez and Bryant in my keeper league. Probably not worth it, I guess.

HAHA. Cubs are looking more and more pathetic by the day.

The Angels aren't presently involved in the Jeff Samardzija sweepstakes, sources say.

Bryants numbers are hilarious. 4 hits, 4 homers, 8 Ks, 2 walks, 18 AB

Those are Dunn type numbers without the walks
