It is a deep keeper league in the sense that we keep 15 of 30 roster spots, plus an additional 20 minor league slots. So going 50 deep including the minors, it is about as deep as you can get for a 14 team mixed league. But the offseason would be AA's extension year. If he isn't going to play much this year, it would be hard to keep and extend him beyond that. -
Anthony Rizzo with SB number 6 tonight (4th in the NL). He had 5 all of last year and 6 in 2013.Comment

The New Cubs like to run. They had two double steals tonight. I heard the last time that they did this was in the late 90's. I think 780am said on the recap show it was 1997.Originally posted by Ryno84MVP View PostComment

Even Bryant has gotten in on the steals action, had a steal tonight. He has 2 in 11 games. I certainly can't complain about Bryant's very impressive first 11 games. He is batting .341 with an .471 OBP, after all, even with that 0-4 to start things off. But if you had told me coming in that he'd have more steals than homers in his first dozen games, I'd have been worried about his production.
I still think he is capable of finishing with 25+ homers this year. I know the homers will rise, and the BA and OBP will fall, but it is fun seeing both stats continuing to defy expectations so far.Comment

So might Baez be on the way back up with Soler's injury? Maddon could mve Bryant to OF, Baez to 3B (he played 3B the other night)..And he's hitting well down there, too...325/.404/7HR/26 RBI/6SB...might be worth a flier if you have the room. ?12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Baez broke his finger sliding into second and will be out 4-8 weeks.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun-Times reports that Rafael Soriano has signed a minor league deal with the Cubs today. He is speculating that Soriano will only need 2-3 appearances in the minors before a promotion to the majors. This may make the current closer committee more confusing than it already is.

Soriano recently switched agents from Boras to Alan Nero...who also represents, wait for it, Joe Maddon. Take that for what you will..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
