I'm really happy for Scales.

He’s worked hard for 11 years to realize his dream… and he’s been a positive contributor. Is he or will he be a star or superstar? No, but I can see him as a useful bench player for this year’s team.

I believe he would be eligible

based on prior seasons, he didnt have enough time in at the MLB level.

This morning

This morning my CD randomizer that wakes me up every morning landed on Terry Cashman’s Good Enough to Dream that is about players like Scales who either never make it to the bigs or maybe only make it for cups of coffee.

Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.

This is just begging for a joke about your random posts, but I’m far too tired to think of one.

I don't even put my money in them.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

To see him so humble was pretty neat to see.

"That's what you live for. You live for the opportunity and when that day comes, you better be ready," Soto said. "I tried to make sure that whenever they gave me a chance, I was ready and I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity."

Great guy and great player, hope to see even more from him.

Will Scales be That Guy?

Y’know – That Guy – the one who comes out of nowhere to help spur the team to success? Still a long way to go, but I can’t help wondering. There’s no denying the joy he brought to the Cubs dugout last night.
