Looks like Barnes threw a shutout in his first AAA start. Impressive!

UConn Day:we will likely see Olt, Springer, Barnes and Ahmed in the majors this season

Olt is there now (hoping he gets the opening day start today). Springer will be up in May/June. But the earliest Barnes will see the majors is expanded rosters in September (especially given his injury issues right now). But I don't think there is any way Ahmed sees the majors this year. Between Ahmed's performance lately and the fact that the DBacks have 2 young SS already not getting enough reps...Ahmeds MLB chances are slim in '14.

He has been with the Diamond Backs for the last several weeks. He is batting about .230 if I am not mistaken.

ha oops. You're right. I thought he wasn't sent back down. I was looking at his game log and thought I saw July 27th when it was really JUNE 27th. my bad. he actually started today for the Dbacks and is 1-3 so far

 

[Sprague03]

through 9 games at AAA, a mike Olt is batting .344!!! keep it up mike!

 

[Sprague03]

lot now batting .351 with a homer run. hit his fest HR in AAA this year (12 or 13 in MLB this year)

With the log jam of young talented players the Cubs have in their minor league system hopefully Mike does not get forgotten. Thought maybe they might try to trade him at deadline. Maybe they couldn't and that would not be a good thing. Hopefully he keeps up the good work and gets a shot again real soon.
