Probably not just yet, but come promotion time I wouldn't hold a roster spot for them.

Wouldn't Jackson and Vitters have to be exposed to waiver claims if they are removed from the 40 man roster?</blockquote>
Yes, but that's the chance you take at this stage in their development.

Vitters had a HR last night to raise his line to .196/.275/.348.

 

Baez went 0-12 with 8 Ks on the weekend.  

 

Almora had is first BB. His line is .247/.265/.344.

 

On the bright side, Arodys Vizcaino looking pretty great at Daytona. I wonder when he's going to rise to AAA given he's successfully pitched there before. I'd guess soon now that the weather is warm. 

 

Gioskar Amaya had 8 BB against 9 Ks and is hitting .389/.460/.886 in just 54 ABs at Daytona. Seems to be a singles hitter with only 2 extra base hits.

 

Bijan Rademacher continues to hit wherever he goes. .350/.429/.513 at Daytona which is traditionally a pitchers league. He does K at a fairly high rate of 26%.

 

Vogelbach needs to fatten up again. .242/.321/.337. Although he's hitting .378/.452/.514 in his last 10 games.

Dallas Beeler has really good stuff. He impressed me the most this weekend.

He definitely looks like Halladay-lite. Maybe Beeler is a late bloomer just like him.

[Coldneck]

Vizcaino promoted to AA. They're taking it slow with him it seems. I kinda thought he'd be send to AAA now that it's warm.

[rok]

It's not that warm in Iowa just yet.

I think that's all relative Rok  It was 51 at my house earlier and I was in shorts and a T-Shirt.  Felt warm compared to the winter we had.

The temperature must be the same as in Waukegan. Hey, Tommy...

[Coldneck]

Rusin just threw a no hitter. Baez with 3 singles and 1 K. Vitters with 2 hits well. All is well is Waukegan. 

[vitaminB]

Zeke Devoss sent down, some dude I've never heard of release to make room for the Smokies additions.

[Auz]

Rusin also scored the games only RBIs

[Auz]

Ryan Searle released from Smokies maybe? It's a shame for me personally if it is as he was the Cubs Aussie representative.

Yeah, it was Searle.  So does he get kicked out of the country now too?

[vitaminB]

Kris Bryant belts his 7th HR.  Not in this game, that would be a record.

From Badler regarding Baez

 

The swing and miss is a little worrisome, but I do think that will settle down some with time and experience. It seems like he's trying to do a little too much at the plate right now to get to Chicago as fast as he can, but once he settles down I don't think it's going to be a long-term concern. When he does get called up, he might be a guy who struggles initially because of his approach, but the bat speed, premium power and the feel for hitting even with some strikeouts should still make him a star.
