Baez never looked like this. Even through Sox colored glasses.

Yeah. I kinda thought my long suffering Cub fandom was known to most everyone here. Oh well.

To answer your question, yes, I am surrounded by red-faced, toothless rubes down here and many of them are Card fans.

Seriously and as CoF will tell you I HATE to agree with him


But then again snap decisions and premature proclamations are 312s thing


Soler looks good but so did Junior Lake

I'm not downgrading Baez. He is what most of us thought he'd be. The strikeouts are concerning. I'll give him time to adjust. Soler looks to be a different animal. He seems, at this point, to be able to recognize bad breaking pitches and has a innate command of the zone. I'm sure he'll struggle but I think he has something special. I'm probably wrong. He'll probably end up being Joe Borchard.

Some guys have plate discipline right awaynand t makes the hitting slumps a lot easier to take

Rizzo and Soler are Theo guys

Castro and Baez are Hendry guys

I could be wrong...I just believe Soler is the read deal...Baez or Alcantara ? Ehh..not sold on em, I never thought Junior Lake was ever going to be as good as Reed Johnson .

Alcantara is good, we just don't know if he's going to be a better version of Bonifacio (super-utility guy), or an above-average starter on a contending team

Alcantara has an arm like juan pierre...he throws to the wrong bag n misses his cutoff man too..he's too old to be doin that...that's basic fundamentals ..kids stuff.
