NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Chiefs tickets just dropped 99%. I guess we’ll just have to cheer for Chris Archer and Baby Brenly…

Guyer

Does Brandon Guyer project as anything special or just a potential back/ 4th OF?

by gocubsgo2287 on Jun 30, 2009 11:11 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Guyer's upside

is probably Aaron Rowand with more speed, so no, he’s a potential starter. He’s one of those toolsy outfielders who never seem to make it.

Rowand had a great second half for Peoria last year (he was injured at the beginning of the year) and the Cubs aggressively promoted him to TN where he flopped this season. Since they demoted him to Daytona, he’s been hitting the cover off the ball.

Obviously they need to leave him in Daytona for the rest of this season. If he can succeed next year in his second try at the Southern League, then we can start considering him a major prospect.

Yeah

I’ve been pretty out of it lately.

Clearly, Rowand is playing for SF.

SS Darwin Barney from Tennessee to Iowa.

Surrprised

they promoted Barney since they seem to want to keep him and Tony Thomas together, But that might be a sign that Andres Blanco is going to stay in Chicago for a while and they need a SS in Iowa.

dj fitzgerald

mesa to peoria. rather large leap. should we know him. probably to take up vitters atbats, not so much a merit raise?

by tim815 on Jun 30, 2009 1:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He hitting

.500 in nine games in Mesa. So it’s not out of line.

But clearly it’s an issue of where he’s going to get playing time at second, with Logan Watkins kind of planted there for Boise.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
