MLB: Cubs Vitters has monster week

[hurdleisu24]

The cubs minor leaguer Josh Vitters had a great week in Midwestern League play going 13-27 with 5 home runs and 3 double while driving in 10. He did strike out 5 times thou. For the Month of May he's hitting .403:biggrin:

Just a little too early for a call-up, but the Cubs could really use a guy like that.

From low-A ball, probably. Not too many callups to the majors from the ol' Midwest League.

I think he is 2 years away.

Might not look to bad in RF or 1st base either

 

[hurdleisu24]

I think if he ain't traded you can see him at 3rd and Aramis at 1st

meh....this guy is in the midwest league. Let me know when he starts tearing up AA or AAA.

meh....this guy is in the midwest league. Let me know when he starts tearing up AA or AAA.

he's also only 19 years old and looks like he has some serious potential.

Not that I am comparing the two but Pujols never got the chance to tear up AA or AAA.
Just sayin :wink:

You should, Vitters is the Cubs top hitting prospect right now. He is going to be a stud.

Just like Luis Montanez, a former number 1 overall draft pick for the cubbies. :biglaugh:

Hey he's in the majors.

If he ain't suppose to be great then why were the Padres demanding that he be in any Peavy deal?

Because he's the best the Cubs can offer.

 

[acrozier22]

I have heard of a million cubs that were supposed to be "awesome"

Corey Patterson, Mike Harkey, Brooks Kieschnik, Felix Pie, etc...

 

[bostrem00]

So was Michael Jordan, even though he was a replacement player (don't discount them, see Kevin Millar, Brendan Donnelly, and Damian Miller) but has he had the career a number 1 overall draft pick should?

 

[CYdTracked]

I'm leary about these "can't miss" prospects for the Cubs because guys like Brooks Kieshnick, Bobby Hill, Corey Patterson, and Felix Pie were supposed to be studs too and all flopped.

 

[guitarchitect7]

Well he was the most polished hitter in his draft so this isn't surprising. Whats unfortunate is I think Ramirez has more in his tank to keep playing and Vitters is right behind him. So does Vitter replace Lee, Bradley, Soriano?

 

[arganbright2]

I'll never understand the Cubs and how certain players never pan out in the big leagues. I swear they have all the "Crash Davis" type players that end up being minor league legends. I hope they can call up Jake Fox pretty soon. He is having an unbelievable year right now
