@ESPNStatsInfo: 2014 Cubs are the first team in history to have two players, each age 22 or younger, HR in their 1st MLB games (Baez/Soler)

Oh lol. I took umbrage with that guy too.
I also agree with you on Junior. I dont wanna put the juju on him but he reminds me alot of Felix Pie/Angel Pagan.
I like his athleticism but athletes don't necessarily equate to baseball players. I mean, Mark Grace smoked 2 packs of Winstons a day.

Castro did it too, but he's 24.

not going to make much if anything of it, but that wasn't exactly encouraging from Turner. Of course it means little to nothing considering he's had absolutely no time to work with Bosio, but the unrealistic fan in me had hoped to see a different pitcher.
also, a triple from Bryant. He's now ready for the bigs.
and I know it's off topic from the players, but I expect some if not all of you got the email from the cubs about starting renovation, specifically having utilities come out and change/move pipes on sheffield so that they, presumably, can start working on the new clubhouse as soon as the season ends. While that in and of itself isn't huge news, i think it's important. Only because earlier this year you had players like rizzo saying things like 'yea we've been told that before...guess we'll just have to wait and see" which wasn't encouraging. But it really sounds like shovels will break ground soon (even the rooftops lawsuit didn't name the cubs, probably because they don't want an arbitrator deciding the issue) which will be a nice thing to point to when trying to woo free agents. Also adds to the wave of positive cubs stories lately.

The defense behind him didn't help at all, but it still wasn't good.

There is a lot there to work with. This doesn't seem like it could be a Chris Volstad failed reclamation project. Volstad's stuff was very flat.

What a great night for Soler.
Also, the Cubs hired Baseball Prospectus' Jason Parks to be a scout. Nice.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some future Rangers/Cubs dealings. He's a big big big Ranger guy and does a nice job scouting international guys. Nice hire.

That guy is now employed by the Chicago Cubs as a scout. I find it hilarious the tards in this thread don't even realize who he is.

Parks is way smarter than I am when it comes to baseball talent evaluation, but I can still be a homer and say I don't think Bryant will be a career .250 hitter.

So he's incapable of being wrong?
