Speaking of call ups,
Couple of tweets that JJ Cooper got called up last night by the Reds. Been really interested in seeing him pitch

An OPS of .675 will delay Harper’s call-up more than anything else. Maybe he is human, after all. Not that there’s any shame in that for a 19 year old in AAA.

Could we maybe get a running thread of minor-league call-ups?

Not 100% sure, but I think that the 20 days of optional assignment counts from the Major League schedule, not the minor league schedule. This year, the Major League and minor league seasons started on the same day, so the distinction is irrelevant. But if, say, minor league games had started on April 7th instead of April 4th, today would still mark the 20 day point for optional assignments (and thus, the service time threshold for control of call-ups from the 40-man roster with no prior ML service time). I know this is extremely nitpicky, but I bring it up only to clarify my own understanding.
That said, it’s awesome that this site devotes posts to this type of information. One of the many things that sets MLBTR apart.

Brett Jackson has cooled off a bit and is still striking out a ton. Even with Byrd traded, I’d bet he stays down maybe until the break or so. Rizzo is absolutely killing it, but LaHair is looking pretty good and the Cubs aren’t going anywhere yet, so no need to rush him either.

If Lahair can stay as consistent, I really hope we unload Soriano at any cost so he can stay in the line up.

i hope sveum and thed realize that benching him (sori) is always an option

They had to pay everything to move Byrd and he has the possibility of maybe helping a team, where Soriano would cost the Cubs 54m and get back less than Bowden back for a prospect.. I just don’t see Epstein being able to move him and Cubs ownership bellying up that much to get back a really non prospect for that cash outlay.
That said? Would really like to see Rizzo on the roster, he is (like you said) tearing it up and has nothing left to prove at AAA.
BlueCatuli
Nothing left to prove in AAA? Remember what happened last year? Yeah, he may have shortened his swing, but why start his service time and waste it on a crummy team?

As a Cardinals fan, can’t say I know too much about him, but that at bat against Motte last night was pretty impressive.

Let’s hope we can unload Soto as well! His Ab’s are killing me, I am so sick of seeing 5 hoppers to the SS or 2nd baseman!

Yanks are holding back Pettitte to avoid Super 2 status
johnsilver
That would be 2 decades, but he’s still 4 seasons short 🙂
chico65
Super status for Pettite, again? Not without some HGH

A few Boston fans will be here before long after they notice how well Middlebrooks has been tearing up the International league…
Not really a place for him, but eventually the buzzards will be circling the wagons in the NE press..
Middlebrooks through 18 G at Pawtucket: 8HR 25RBI 1.170OPS .413OBP .757SLG and 5bb vs 10k
Lavarnway through 15G 2HR 6RBI .840OPS .412OBP .429SLG 12BB vs 10K
Salty might be playing decent defense, but his offense has been anemic other than 2HR

Middlebrooks is on fire and if Youk doesnt start hitting, I would hope they at least attempt to shop Youk around and see what they can get for him. Hes been on a downward trend the past few years and is 33 years old. I think they can get some decent pieces in return for him.

For Will or Youklis maybe OF or SS.
