Per Ace Cubbie,

Javy's brother (allegedly) just tweeted (definitely) that Javy is coming up. Now.



AHHHHHHHHHH

He's ready, it's time.

I fucking love this front office.

RV is definitely a sorcerer.

Well I did predict that Baez, Bryant & Soler would all be called up together on September 1st so I pretty much nailed it.
.333 is pretty damn good in any league.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

He's a month early though, so he's at .250 by my count. He did manage to correctly predict that Baez would play major league baseball at some point though. So yes he's a fucking wizard. If Bryant and Soler come up on 9/1 I'll subscribe to his newsletter for life.

Here's a teaser for volume 1 issue 1's feature story:

QuoteAll of (or most of - maybe some of) us know that Arkham's razor tells us about how prospects don't pan out because computers can't play baseball (they don't have arms or legs)...but what you may not have known is that there is a prospector who did pan out - for gold!

I think, and maybe this is just a guess, RV did that deliberately.

Apropos of nothing, does anyone remember when the Cubs couldn't dare fire Hendry in fear of losing Tim Wilken, the man that brought us Vitters and Jackson and Colvin? Wasn't that Gordo's stance?

Because I remembered that this morning and laughed heartily for a bit.

Fyi, Tim Wilken still works for the cubs.

DPD. Wilken has the same job title in the organization as Kerry Wood and Ted Lilly. Something tells me has a little less power now than when he was the guy actually signing and drafting all of the prospects.

Also, regardless of whatever he does (Hint: It's nothing), obviously Gordo was wrong that firing Hendry meant Wilken would go, even if losing Wilken was actually something to be afraid of or not (it wasn't).

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

He also gave us Vitters, Jackson, and Colvin. Thanks, dude.

Next up: The Soler Watch.

You mean MLB.com's prospect of the month?

Quote
Pipeline Hitting Prospect of the Month: Jorge Soler, Iowa Cubs
Cubs' No. 6 prospect, 27 G, .378/.473/.811, 1.283, 8 HR, 21 RBI, 15 R

Soler, ranked No. 54 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, spent most of the first half of the season on the disabled list due to hamstring injuries, but he put those concerns behind him in July. The outfielder began the month on a rehab assignment in the Arizona League and hit well enough upon returning to Double-A Tennessee to merit a promotion to Triple-A Iowa.

Soler's powerful bat was on display across all three levels. He hit eight home runs, six doubles and a triple, driving in 21 runs.

Perhaps most importantly, Soler has joined Kris Bryant and Javier Baez, the Cubs' top two prospects, in Iowa, where they're just a step away from the big leagues. It is the first time three members of the so-called "Core Four" prospects have played on the same team (outfielder Albert Almora is the last member). Soler typically hits fifth in Iowa's lineup, following Baez and Bryant.

The #54 ranking is laughable.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Here's something else - if SKOwarber pans out, he and Rizzo will be the Cubs' two legit lefthanded power bats together for the first time in...ever?
