Southern League player of the week! Oh yeah and Almora had another 5 hit game.

I know he can ONLY play 1st and that gonna be tough with Rizzo there, but more to trade when it really comes time to loading up and having an offense that is loaded.

Not to mention Bryant and Schwarber. Hopefully the next round of Wrigley renovations will inculde a new diamond with two first bases and three left fields.

Fantastic. Schwarber has a 1.063 OPS, and C.J. Edwards is transitioning to a power bullpen arm. Things are sunshine!

I didn't look. I'm assuming the collective you wouldn't focus on Vogelbach if they were lighting things up

He's a Hendry guy isn't he?

What we need is the DH. I was never for it before, but now I'm with Hank Steinbrenner. The NL needs the DH.

.444/.552/.741

That's called "killing it"

Wainwright's injury may have just created a position for Vogelbach on the Cubs roster.

Thanks!

It's coming. Wainwright's injury may have sped it up. (MLB overreacts when stars get hurt)

CJ Edwards looks about dead in AA. Walking people left and right, plus shoulder problems. He was supposed to be the most dominant something IIRC.

Schwarber is doing a tad worse than White Sox superstar prospect Brett Austin. Still pretty good, 1.044 OPS.

From BleacherNation:
Quote:
Sample sizes are still small and caution is still in order, but what Dan Vogelbach has done in Tennessee this month is ridiculous.

Some argue that strikeout and walk rates are among the first statistics to settle into their normal ranges, and that by this time we should have enough numbers on most minor league players for those normal ranges to have emerged. If that is the case, and I am emphatically not making that argument myself, then Vogelbach’s walk rate of roughly 20% and strikeout rate of roughly 5%, not to mention his ISO in the low .300 range, have settled into their correct ranges and place him in an arguably unique place.

We have not seen anyone do that in Double A. Not Jorge Soler. Not Kris Bryant. Not Addison Russell. No one.

Including, I think, Dan Vogelbach over the long term. His BABIP will not stay .455, and I think, as that settles back to less fairy-tale-esque levels, his ISO will decline with it – at least back into the range of mere mortals. What will be really interesting is seeing what happens to those walk and strikeout rate numbers as his plate appearnces move him into the band of statistical significance.

20% walk rate and 5% strikeout rate!!! Good stuff.

.455 BABIP for 250lb-er (allegedly) is great. :lol:
