Just got this text from my little brother (also a Cubs fan, but doesn't really follow baseball as closely as I do):

"Kris Bryant starting the year or going down for 12 days?"

:sigh:

Ok...and i don't mean to offend anyone but this whole situation reminds me of the great darwin barney debate in that if you tuned it at the beginning of the season, you thought barney was good (or at least not so terrible with the bat that he undid his good defense)and only after april/may when most people tuned out because the team was utter shite did barney really show how terrible he was. So when we were discussing games in august, someone would inevitably chime in, why isn't barney playing. This situation just kind of feels like that, many of us have been expecting the bryant call up to come mid april since last year when it was obvious he was ready to come up, but now you see some gaudy spring training numbers and everyone is saying 'where's bryant.'

And i'm not saying that about any of our posters here, we've got a good group of cubs posters, but more the twitter/radio/BCB guys.
