Not since maybe Cubs and "Men of Troy" RHP and Phenom Mark Prior has the Cubs and Cubs Nation been giddy about call-ups. Yes current core players Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo as well as Jorge Soler have gotten plenty of attention but Kris Bryant and now Addison Russell are making plenty of noise.
There is no such thing as "Can't Miss" Prospects as Twinkies CF Byron Buxton gets that for 2015 as #1 overall and his game is simply delicious! Right behind him though at #2 is Cubs Hot Corner and future OF Kris Bryant and now the Cubbies call the #4 overall prospect up in second baseman Addison Russell. Russell a Shortstop by trade has moved to second as Starlin Castro mans SS and the reason Castro has been the subject of trade rumors as the Cubbies are trying to see if they can co-exist in the middle infield.
Russell was also tearing up Triple AAA Iowa with 9 RBI before he gets the call from Theo and company yesterday. Addison was acquired in the Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hummel to the Swingin' Athletics Trade last season and that is highway robbery. The 11th overall pick in the 2012 Amateur MLB Draft as the A's took Russell.
The Cubbies have said as for tonight's double-dip in the 'Burgh tonight Russell will bat 9th as Bryant had a night last night going 3 for 4 with a single, double, and a run scored as "Darth Vadar" dba Scott Boras is Bryant's Agent following nothing but that Wells Fargo Wagon and Duffel Bags of $$$$$$$$$$!
Cubs Nation who needs Wrigley done when the"Excitement" runneth' over in Cubs Nation? Remember Plan THEO was going to take time as they build through the draft with a young core as this Cubs Squad might be 24 months away or sooner from hanging with "Matheny Ball" and the Redbirds the "Toast" of the NL Central as we go to press...
