Hoping for another solid performance from Harvey today. Granted giving up three runs last start sucked a little, but 10Ks and a win makes up for it.

J.P. - you have any good info on Concepcion? I have an opening on my fantasy prospect squad. Worth an add?

Callis tweeted yesterday he was as advertised at instructs. It should say something that he was assigned, while Baez wasn't.

Callis also had this to say about him two months ago:


Where would Cuban lefthander Gerardo Concepcion fit onto a revised Cubs prospect list? Is he worthy of the overall Top 100 Prospects list?

Matt Cummings
West Des Moines, Iowa

Though the Cubs gave Concepcion a $7 million major league contract, he projects more as a No. 4 starter than as a front-of-the-rotation option. The 19-year-old stands out more with his advanced feel for pitching than he does for his pure stuff. His fastball ranges from 86-92 mph and his curveball ranges from inconsistent to solid. "If everything works out," one scout said, "maybe he becomes Randy Wolf."

In the BA Grade system we introduced in the 2012 Prospect Handbook, Concepcion merits a 50/High. I'd put him at No. 19 on a revised Cubs Top 30, between outfielders Reggie Golden and Jae-Hoon Ha, and he's not a Top 100-caliber prospect.

Cole will dominate.

Much appreciated. Sounds like the answer to my question is "NO"

Mason Williams is a juggernaut. Now 3-3, 2B, BB. Batting .338.

Harvey is perfect through 4, with 4 K's.

 

[Keyser Soze]

How about Bundy last night? Dude is a BEAST. Season line now 13 IP, 1 BB, 0 Hits, 0 Runs, 21 K's

Has there been anyone else in all of the minors with numbers that impressive? He has to be moved to High-A sometime soon, right?

Matt Harvey homers (1) on a fly ball to left field. Lucas May scores.

He is a monster today. He is the second Bison's pitcher to hit a homer this season - Took 17 years to get one and they have two this season.

 

[Jaypers]

Mason Williams does it again - just hit his 1st HR.

Tyler Austin also hit his 5th HR. :mrgreen:

 

[Jaypers]

Good stuff from Henry Owens. 3.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 7 K
