Schlitter got passed over again?  Is there no justice?

Schlitter--unlike Ramirez and Medina--is not on the 40-man. Previously outrighted.

Put him on it.  You can make room by putting Schwarber on the 60 day DL.

Hell, just cut him if he can't catch.

Cubs are now 23 games over .500, 6.5 games behind the Cardinals, 2 behind the Pirates, 9.5 ahead of both the Nats and Giants. The Cubs are almost as close to the Cards as the Nats are to the Mets.  If the Cubs sweep the Cards in St Louis tomorrow behind Lester, it isn't out of the question that they could end up contending for the division title as the month progresses.  Absolutely astonishing.

Cardinals have four in Cincy and three in Milwaukee next. Not likely to get much help.

I'm betting on the Cards going 3 and 4 in those games.  It's a smell.

The top one is indeed Russell.

The bottom one is Barry Larkin's first full season...he had 160 or so AB's the season prior.

It is made all the more impressive when you recognize that Larkin's numbers left him with an OPS+ of 76, while Russell has an OPS+ of 91.

Of course, when Starlin Castro was Russell's age, Castro an had OPS+ of 111, was an All Star, and led the league in hits....

I think Baez looks pretty good at third.

Fangraphs article on Baez.
