    Kris Bryant Being Called Up by Cubs Friday

    That did not take long!

    Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago reports that top prospect third baseman Kris Bryant will be called up by the Cubs on Friday.

    April 17 was the scheduled day that fans had targeted, knowing that's all it took for the Cubs to gain an extra year of team control for the budding superstar. Bryant put on a show in his final game at Triple-A Iowa, blasting a three-run homer. He's likely to be immediately slotted in as the team's everyday third baseman.

    Hope is not like the "heralded" Will Middlebrooks the Red Sox had, what a bust he was.

    I think CB will be legit..he's 6'4 over 230lbs been hitting the cover off the ball in Cactus league and down in AAA...Plus he steals bags.
    No Effin way he pans out to be ShittleBrooks...If I was a Cubs fan this would get be jacked up..hopefully he can make a dent off Big Game James

    The three corners on my team are Miguel Cabrera, Josh Donaldson and Kris Bryant. Not bad.

    can't determine if he will be over, under, or just rated until he plays a few years


    he should be one of many important pieces the cubs are putting together

    Not a great start in his debut this season. Too eager to make it happen this afternoon.

    Struck out 3 times, his debut went down the Schlitter after Myers homered on a 1-2 pitch.

    Kris Bryant has as many three strikeout games as Tony Gwynn had in his career.
