DOWN ON THE FARM

Previously, we posted the Iowa Cubs team pitching stats for this season.  There was very little upside.

Ian Stewart is still on the roster, but is now really the third third baseman on the squad, after Vitters and Lillebridge.  Besides rehab starts, the only .300 hitter promoted so far has been Ryan Sweeney.

Now, after 40 minor league games, here is the Iowa Cubs cumulative batting stats:
