Ian Happ-ens To Make Me Tingle

[PenFoe]

5 homers through 8 games for Iowa.

It's going to suck to see him become a star for another team, but the front line starting pitcher he brings back should make up for it.

If Zobrist or Baez get hurt, you don't think he gets the call?

Far be it from me to defend Pen, but nothing he said indicates that he doesn't think that. If they have a long term injury where just using La Stella to fill in isn't an option, sure, Happ will probably get the call, but if you think Theo and Jed aren't increasingly likely to trade Happ for pitching you just aren't paying attention.

That's not Gleyber Torres.

"increasingly likely"? I'm pretty sure Happ or Eloy don't go anywhere unless a guy who can move into Jake's slot after this season comes the other way. They've loaded up with gambles in Iowa's rotation, they only need one to pan out.

You're the guy who shares articles on facebook saying "WHY INNIT DA NEWS COVERING DIS?" while sharing an AP article, aren't you?

It's like ROTJ if Luke didn't show his dad mercy.

Should have clarified, I meant after this season. They've got actual Jake until just after Halloween.

SKO's "if you don't think it isn't increasingly likely, you're not paying attention" was a direct pull from an old Chuck line about Starlin. I don't think he actually thinks that about a Happ trade.

It was a Chuck quote but yeah I do think Happ's probably the centerpiece of a trade eventually. Unless Zobrist gets old fast and Javy regresses

A lot can happen in a season. Besides, Oleg's dream might finally come true and Schwarber gets launched for Chris Archer.

[PenFoe]

And...another homer.

[Saul Goodman]

He'll be promoted today.

[Tonker]

And... another homer.
