Is bringing up Rizzo right now the right move, or will it be like it was in San Diego? http://midwaymadness.com/2012/06/series-preview-cubs-vs-mets/

Rizzo cannot hit major league pitching. He'll be a .240 hitter in the big leagues.

Pretty sure he's crushing dudes that will be in MLB sooner or later. I gotta think that bodes pretty well for him hitting a bit over .240, hater.

How in God's name can you look at a 23-year old hitting .356 in Triple A, & just say he can't hit Major League?? Just like that? AND guess his Major League BA?? Tell me your secrets friend lol

Has Jackson been improving in AAA? Last I checked he was sporting a .254 average with an unhealthy level of strikeouts. But that was nearly a month ago.

Jackson is a whiner. Big Z in a small body. Cant accept mistakes from his teamates

19Ks his last 10 games, he's whiffing at an alarming rate.... But overall, he's hitting better in June posting a .289/.351/.500 line so far this month

Is a Rizzo-Watch really necessary? He isn't going to lead us to the playoffs this year- so what the hell are we doin'?

I think it's BECAUSE we're so bad this year. It's their way of getting the Cubbies faithful to stay just that, FAITHFUL. Reminding us that our prospects are tearing it up and that we just have to be patient. It's kinda working tho honestly lol I'm pretty excited for 2014 on. When guys like Jackson, Rizzo, Baez, (hopefully Almora), and Soler are all more than likely up in the bigs.. I'm pretty siked to see where things go.
