MLB: 2014 Chicago Cubs

[CycloneErik]

The single greatest player in the history of baseball, and possibly all of team sports, or even all sports!


No matter what, that's a clutch debut.

I hope you are being sarcastic.
Like I said earlier ...this kid is legit.Watch his videos if you haven't seen him in person and you'll love approach at the the plate and mostly his bat speed.

Rizzo's 0 for 5. I'm not impressed with him either

Never been more sarcastic...

Waiting for the pie in the face. You know it's coming.

These last couple ages are all about sarcasm. Everyone expects him to struggle a little at first, then show how good we know he'll be.

 

[TheCaptain]

Sorry chuck...didn't mean to single you out....Go Cubs.

 

[ISUCubswin]

I can't wait to not suck anymore.

The not suck phase is coming!!!

 

[TheCaptain]

This is just the beginning of the NEW Cubs that we love. Good times ahead.

The bat speed is to die for, yes. But his approach at the plate still needs work...a lot of it. It's one of the top weaknesses that scouts talk about in his game. He puts himself into bad hitter's counts all the time, which is a big reason for his K-rate. And I've seen him swing himself out of his shoes on pitches above his eyes more than once in person.

I think he'll turn out to be a good player before it's all said and done, but he's got more than a little wood to chop right now.

Schierholtz DFA

Soler time?!?

Schierholtz DFA

Soler time?!?

Fujikawa was activated from the 60-day DL...

Sounds like the Cubs also picked up Jacob Turner off waivers.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Fujikawa coming up for Schierholtz.

Baez up for good.

Cubs worked out Rusney Castillo, a gold-glove potential outfielder who's bat reminds many of Kenny Lofton who will be playing right away with whatever team he goes to

Cubs claimed Jacob Turner off waivers - a projected ace with Verlander/Scherzer qualities 2 years ago but fallen apart in the Rays system.
