Cubs Minor League Affiliates - Roster LImits & Restrictions
For the purpose of determining minor league roster limits & restrictions, a minor league player accrues a year of "service time" for every season where the player spends at least 30 days on an MLB and/or minor league active list or disabled list, unless the player spent the entire season on the DL. Service time accrued by a player while assigned to a club or clubs in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) and/or Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) does not count when determining minor league roster limits and restrictions.
IOWA: 38 players (RESERVE LIST) - 25 players (ACTIVE LIST) - no service time limit

DAYTONA: 35 players (RESERVE LIST) - 25 players (ACTIVE LIST) - maximum two players with six or more years of service time, and maximum one player-coach with six or more years of service time (seasons spent on DSL or VSL rosters do not count).
KANE COUNTY: 35 players (RESERVE LIST) - 25 players (ACTIVE LIST) - maximum two players with five or more years of service time (seasons spent on DSL or VSL rosters do not count).
BOISE: 35 players (RESERVE LIST) - 30 players (ACTIVE LIST) - maximum three players with four or more years of service time (seasons spent on DSL or VSL rosters do not count).
AZL CUBS: 35 players (RESERVE LIST) - no players with three or more years of service time (seasons spent on DSL or VSL rosters do not count).

VSL CUBS: 35 players (RESERVE LIST) - no players with four or more years of service time, and only international players can be assigned to VSL clubs.

Nice start for Almora -- 3-4 with a double for Kane County.
Baez has picked it up lately, hits in 13 of his last 14 games..something like 19/56 with 3 BB and 9 K over that span.
That Liberace movie is on HBO this week end.
/just saying
wow...that rizzo K in the 8th was a swing even sammy sosa would rag on.
It's hard to compare two very different eras, but as good as Urlacher was, Butkus was better.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
cubs load the bases with 0 out...no one scores.
awesome!
I thought it would be strained neck from watching balls fly over his head
~~ right after Sveum stomped on his big right toe.
He sounds like Marmol minus the $9.8M.
i wonder how long until i.stewart asks to be traded...if for no other reason than to get ABs on someone else's AAA team
yet another day he didn't start...got a PH appearance, 0-1.
also, josh vitters continues to be unimpressive, 0-4.
b.bogusevic continues to make a joke of AAA...1-2 (HR) with 3bb...(.370/.475 avg/ob%)

Somewhere in the Cubs locker room, Bill Murray chimes in...
"an Army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe"

I wonder how what converstion went.
"Hey Shawn, do you have anything that hurts?"
"My right big toe is kind of sore, why do you ask?"
i'm not sure the author of that report knows what "lights-out" reliever means.
if he means a reliever with spotty control that will throw 20+ pitches an inning in AAA is "lights-out" i wonder how high the praise goes for someone that deserves it.
he's got good velocity at least. he's worth taking a chance on.
s.camp on the DL (evidently sucking is an injury these days) with a "sprained right big toe" (no, seriously)...r.dolis up
