I didn't realize he was 24 years old. Wonder why he was never promoted to AAA. Was someone blocking him?

He had been at AA before and struggled, my guess is they wanted to give him a full year there no matter what. I'm actually pretty damn happy he stayed at AA. That slugging percentage isn't nearly as meaningful in the PCL.

Yeah, he's the pitcher of the year all right.

[funkster]

Excellent. Seeing Archer do well makes me happy.

[rok]

Nice to see both Archer and Jackson come through in high pressure games.

[Ace]

I'm not saying they'll pan out or anything like that, but this is easily the best I've felt about the Cubs' system since I started following prospects.

A walk-off home run means Jacksonville beats Tennessee in the SLCS for the second straight year and that ends the Roundup for the season.

[BT]

thanks for everything Kid. Another great job this year.

[Ace]

The ending sucks, but I gotta echo BT's comment - it's underappreciated, Kid. Thank you very much.
