His bat is ready, but he needs more time to work on defense. All he needs is precisely 16 days in the minors to improve his fielding and he'll be ready guys.

It's a hard thing to fight -- there's always going to be some way to game it

The best solution I saw was that if a player spent so much as one day on a major league roster, they get the full year, but I assume that would be a no-go for the owners -- and even then you'd probably get some egregious situations where a team that wasn't going anywhere left an obviously-ready prospect down all year

Another spring commute
No word on Steele yet but the Cubs are bringing up Brown who had a big spring for whatever that's worth and made a lot of mechanical changes during the offseason that seem to have born some fruit:

Hopefully he's going to the rotation and it's not just some thing where he's gonna spot the pen while they shift Smyly over.

Due to go to two games in New York next week but it's looking like it may be heavy rain on both days.

I like how Smyly started doing that thing where an old journeyman suddenly goes all Jedi for exactly one day and started throwing a perfect game, so the catcher tackled him.

Teams usually wait til the last possible second, when you’re probably already on the way to the ballpark. Or in the ballpark with a beer and a hot dog on your tab.

Speaking of which, looking like it will be about 40 degrees for the Cubs home opener. The rain is currently looking like it will come later, but that could change at any time.
