The Cubs' AA club, West Tennessee, features some of the most exciting talent in Chicago's minor league system. Yesterday several of the bigger names put together great games in a 8-1 win over Mississippi (formatting stolen from the excellent Baseball America Prospect Report):
AB R H RBI W K AVGBrandon Sing is off to a ridiculous start, hitting 375/500/1.118 with four home runs after the first week or so of games. He's also apparently playing a bit in right field--a wise move considering the Cubs' number one prospect, Brian Dopirak, is a first baseman hot on Sing's tail.

It occurred to me the other day the Cubs are screwed if D-Lee goes down with an injury. Do you know if Dopirak would be ready for a call up or does he have too much to work on?
Yes, the Cubs would be screwed if Lee went down, to an extant--though Hollandsworth or Dubois could play first.
