Shit, is it not possible that they were worried Appel might have some hidden injury causing him to pitch like a turd, and they wanted to check him out? If players can't understand that a guy the club has a lot of money invested in gets a little bit more attention than ones they don't they're fucking stupid.

Baseball players? Stupid? Why I never.

Exhibit A, one of my favorite baseball stories.

Published April 20, 2006, 9:19 PM ET.

4/3/2006-4/19/2006: 40 PA, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .282/.300/.359/.659

4/20/2006-4/30/2006: 42 PA, 7 HR, 22 RBI, .400/.405/.975/1.380

QuoteThe specialist dipped Mench's feet in blue ink and then had him imprint them onto paper. The result: Mench should have been wearing size 12½ instead of 12.

"Man, I'd been wearing 12s since I was 15 years old," Mench said. "That's the last time I had my feet measured -- you know, when I went to the shoe store with my parents.

"I guess feet can grow after that," he said.

Fantastic.  Thanks Pen.

That guy's head was bigger than Barroid at the height of his BALCO days, and nobody ever wondered why he never tipped over?

Arodys Vizcaino and Armando Rivero also promoted to AAA.

Rivero's stuff is fucking vile. His slider will chug the blood of nonbelievers.

I'm going to the Zephyrs/I-Cubs game Friday night in Nola. I will have my phone fully charged and try to take some videos of AB's and definitely lots of creepy pics. My seats are right behind the Cubs' dugout, too, so hopefully there will be some nice shots of young men that hit baseballs really far.

I'll try to post the videos to fb or YouTube, if that's even legal.

I was planning a trip to NOLA for this weekend and that game but a bunch of new shit has come to light and I can't do it. I will live vicariously through your gonzo man-stalking. Most likely I'll be on a bus to Indianapolis when it starts to pop off. Two words: Wind. Pants.

MiLB does an aggregation of 4 major prospect rankings to get a total score.

Quote
2. Bryant
5. Russell
6. Baez
33. Alcantara
40. Almora
41. Soler

The Cubs placed six players among the aggregated top 50, most among Major League organizations. Not that this was their aim, but the club's trade for Russell in the Jeff Samardzija deal earlier this month actually gave the edge over the Twins and Pirates, which each have five. The Dodgers, Rockies and Royals -- each with three -- were the only other organizations with more than two. The A's, Angels, Giants, Mariners, Marlins, Rays and Tigers did not place a prospect in the top 50.
