Might hit a ball harder than Abreu

WTF are they giving those guys in Cuba?

Was that 3 pitchers there for Every Man's All Star Javier Baez?

We'll see on Mr Soler, he is the one (other than Russell) who isn't just pure hype.

He's a monster.


And he may be dead now, of course.

This is no fluke. Dude is for real. He is hot right now, but he's damn good.

Bigfan - where can we get our World Series tix?

I believe BigFan is a season ticket holder, so his World Series tickets are assured. Over .500 and battling for a wild card next year is as much as I expect right now. However, should they get a top of the rotation starter-or 2......they could even vie for their division. 2016, that's when I expect true contention to begin.

The Cubs aren't going to be the 1990's Braves. They are going to be the 1995 Braves. Repeated annually.

Many say about young players, "if he improves" and it is normally correct. If Avi Garcia improves, he might be close to Rizzo, but he needs to improve.

Soler needs to maintain what he is doing, very rare to say that about any REAL rookie. Not the 32 year old kind.

I just wonder if to save Soler's legs,they need to move him to first now and trade Rizzo for a couple of other future pieces.

Anthony Rizzo could cure cancer and you'd ask why he didnt cure it sooner

Other than Bryant's Little League Homerun, that was my couch noise moment of the night. Insane hand/bat speed.

Saw on twitter that his exit speed is second only to Arod.

I guess that's what they call the Stat now..exit speed

22 + 2-3 years for the Cuban math = 25 going on 26

Who knows? I just think using him to take a shot at Abreu is funny.

Len is running PR for the Cubs like (the more loveable) Hawk. Just accept it.

I think you think Soler speaks better English than he does.

Hawk sucks. I've readily admitted that since Whimpy left. At least 50% of White Sox fans feel the same way and the other 50% aren't attaching value to his opinions.

I don't mind the local guys to put things in a good light. I do want to know that when they give opinion, it is something I can rely upon.
