Jo Adell speaks with Victor and Gubi in the next half inning. 

Tune in.

[beatlesrule]

They are really hyping up Adell. I expect him to be a hall of famer.

After his first or second year in the BIGS?

Dude is going places, both on and off the field.

Taylor Ward was a first round pick I know Eppler selected him and he is a God but so far, he's a bust.

Cahill has a knuckle curve ball?

Oh okay. That's better. I can crap on Ward now since he wasn't picked by the Almighty Eppler.

[Slegnaac]

Cubs testing Ward

[Angel Dog and Beer]

...and here's when the wheels fall off. 

[robblin17]

Why is Ward playing 3B anyways? Hasn't he been playing exclusively LF in AAA?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

oh jeeze that was almost a 3R HR. 

[beatlesrule]

Is it okay to blame Eppler for not trading Ward or do I need to trust that Eppler is keeping him around because he thinks Ward will actually be good?

[Chuck]

Fletcher's such a smart player.

What's your point?

And wtf would Ward even be worth?

eh I think for Ward he will either contribute to this team or bust. I don't think teams will value Ward as much and they see him as just a quad-a player. So might as well just find a way to get him playing time and hope he produces before anything.
