3 more hits last night. 12/22, .545 now. Greatest Cub ever, or greatest Cub ever by far?

Seriously though, nice to see that it looks like he belongs. Of course, he could go 0/37 and get sent right back down.

Glad I picked him up for my fantasy team. He looks like he has a huge hole in his swing. But the fact that he is a great bunter means he may be able to avoid long slumps. I still think he'll strike out a ton because of the way he loops when he swings. Good showing so far.

Going out on a limb here but he'll be lucky to have the career of a Jim Edmonds.

Shit, I'd take that in a heartbeat. 17 years, .284/393/1199. Yep, good with me.

Up until he was called up, based on his name, I thought he was a white dude.

Had the same problem with Josh Beekman for some reason.

He was real highly thought of a couple years ago then seemed to fall back just a bit.

Seen him projected as a super sub type. Still hoping for at least that.

I thought Josh Booty was going to be black until I saw him.

When I first heard of David Price from Vanderbilt, I thought white

Because they throw Lacy Banks in there and its gets confusing

I keep thinking of Tuffy Rhodes on opening day a long time ago.
I think once Soriano leaves,he becomes a fixture in LF.

Woah woah woah. Typical overly optimistic Cubs fan thinking.

The Oozing Sox jealousy is now even effecting the insults.

I think 99% of MLB players would love to have Edmonds career! Multiple All Star votes, I would guess MVP Votes over the years, played till 40, made some generational wealth. ($90-$100M?)

So, if this was an attempt at an insult, it was a HUGE miss on Kirkwoods part, or does he only know Jim Edmonds as the washed up 40 year old that Kenny begged to come back and play?

Personally, I dont think Lake will be close to Edmonds, he will be Gary Mathews Junior, not on the roids. He will play in the league for 5/6 more years, signed as 4th/5th OF. Uless he gets some "HELP" like Sarge Jr did

considering you said "Lucky" to be Edmonds, I would think a super sub would be right where you might think he would be?

Oh man, I was huge Sarge Jr fan back in the day. Kept waiting for that one magical year... Fuck.

Yea, definitely picking on JORR with my post. You kinda misread that.

Sarcasm font would have been helpful there

Ben Finfer says that Jr. Lake is a reason to watch and go to the ballpark.

Kinda strange he would say that because he hasn't watched baseball in a month or so.

Drawing a blank, but did he blow up right away like Lake is doing now? Corey Patterson was the guy I was on. Can't remember his start either though. I can still picture him stepping on first base, and fucking his knee up. Seemed like he finally figured it out, then that was it.
