Comments on: Jorge Soler Has Already Made History, Now What? http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/05/06/jorge-soler-has-already-made-history-now-what/ Just another Baseball Prospectus Local Sites site Sat, 16 Feb 2019 21:04:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: victor19nyc http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/05/06/jorge-soler-has-already-made-history-now-what/#comment-10424 Mon, 09 May 2016 17:13:42 +0000 http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/?p=10484#comment-10424 I hate the idea of sending him back to Iowa just to get playing time but it might be the right move. The Cubs have a good problem in Javier Baez. In addition to playing excellent at 3B he’s also been hitting much better than Soler. The downside (of course) is having to stick Bryant in the outfield, but given Soler’s defensive challenges at times a Bryant LF/Baez 3B alignment is the best from both an offensive and defensive perspective. I for one am not complaining about one prospect taking over for another.
Now we just have to get Heyward hitting.

He had a shortened AAA stint contrary to what we heard Jed and Theo tell us is the reason Wilson Contraras and Almora aren’t being called up instead of Tim F and Ryan Kalish.

Send Manny back with him for a month. (Soler said it was Manny’s prep that helped him in the postseason) The contrary view is that Jorge won’t see enough high caliber pitching to make adjustments but I can’t believe that’s true. It also will instill confidence which goes a long way to helping him deal with limited PA.

But if he is going to reach it he’ll need consistent plate opportunities, which he won’t get on the Cubs’ bench. Send him to Iowa when Sczcur returns.
