One of Baez' hits today was a bunt single.

When does Candelario become a bona fide ML prospect?

Eloy is finishing the season in good fashion.  It would be nice if he was able to fulfil the promise he showed as a 16 year old.

He finished the season with 16 hits in his last 49 AB, for about a .325 BA during that stretch, with 30 total bases (4 HR), and only 8 Ks (as well as only 2 walks) during that stretch.  For the year he had 38 K's in 221 PA.  Listed as 6'4" and 205 pounds.

He turns 19 in three months.  The league average age there is two years older than he is.

That is why I said finishing, rather than finished.

Should've made it known I was responded to Jes' comment.

I'd say he already has, based on his performance in AA. He's a good and improving defender at 3B, a switch hitter with reasonable power and a decent BB/K ratio. I'd add him to 40-man Winter roster instead of Corey Black if it were up to me.

I was very happy to see Neil Ramirez make a rehab appearance for Tennessee. I'm hopeful that he'll be back in Chicago in early September.

A healthy Neil Ramirez could be a key addition for the playoff drive.

Don't know if Carlos Pimentel has any major league ability, but he was named PCL RH starter of the year today.

First I-Cub to win that award since J.R. Mathes in 2009. If the front office thought he was better than Beeler, he'd have been called up for a doubleheader by now.

Doubleheader call ups were often decided by where Iowa was in their rotation.
