2010 Minor League Roundup

[Scarey]

Also, if Blake Parker could manage to get his walk totals down, I really think he would solidify t he bullpen. Hell, I think he's a better option than Berg right now who only has 1 strikeout on the year!

I might have missed it discussed already somewhere, but even though it's in a relief role, Aaron Shafer has been pretty much out of his head. 18 2/3rd IP, ZERO earned runs, only 14 baserunners, and a 19/2 K/BB ratio. That's pretty impressive.

Yeah, clearly the Cubs were on to something moving him to the pen. Scarey and I had a chat in the thread a few pages back. He's becoming one of those rare low-level relievers who are TRUE prospects in the role.

I like that Starlin is batting over .350, but the 5 CS's are a little alarming.

Yeah, but I wonder if they are working on his basestealing by sending him frequently.

I think they are because he had a lot of SBs to start off the year. I was pretty excited because he was stealing at a good clip for a while there (3-3 to start the year in the first 4 games), I thought he had learned to read pitchers well.

What is quite encouraging though is Castro's IsoD in the last 10 games is .090. If he can keep that up I am extremely confident he will be a starting shortstop for years.

[Andy]

If McNutt ever makes it to the majors, can we call him Busta?

Why wait for him to make the majors?

That's gold. From now on, he's Busta McNutt.
