Russell so far is 2 for 3 in the 2nd game of a DH with 2 doubles, 2 RBI, and a steal.  Average up to .326.

Just talking about on the CSN telecast how Russell will be fast tracked up to the majors soon. With LaStella out, Alcantara struggling, Baez compassionate leave and Herrera not doing anything with the bat, we could see him up sooner than later.

Nevermind, just reading the same thing in the Bryant post...

I don't think it was anyone from the Cubs saying that though. I thought it was Patrick Mooney. I could be wrong though, I wasn't listening real well.

Vogelbomb just keeps on trucking. Dude is on fire right now.

It was. But coming from multiple reports on Twitter today... Could be coming all from the same source though.

Hopefully he keeps it up....and helps bring us another TOR arm or something else useful come the trade deadline.

Hoyer didn't deny Russell is a near-term option in a radio interview today, so that confirmed it for me.

I think there is a good chance we see him relatively soon.

Cool story on Underwood.

Vogelbach with another Vogelbomb. The dude is raking at the moment.

So, he's kind of having a good year.  Saw that he is OPSing like 1.350 or something crazy.

[rok]

Wonder if he gets traded this season.

[Auz]

He went 3 for 3 with 2 walks.

[willis]

Vogelbach is currently doing this: .460/.571/.780/1.351 and has 13 walks in 14 games with only 3 strikeouts.
