On Brandon Sing
By Michael Caldwell
This is some interesting reading. Brandon Sing (.279/.399/.571 in 408 AB for High-A Daytona) is not getting a lot of press, but he might just be the best hitting prospect and the most disciplined (84 bb:101 k) in the Cubs' farm system. Sing will probably play baseball for AA West Tennessee in 2005, and if he puts up or betters the kinds of numbers he did this past season, look for organizations that value disciplined hitters, like the A's, to come calling. It's just too bad that Sing will never be of any benefit to the Cubs, other than trade fodder, because the current field manager views players that draw walks as unmanly, even after spending all those years with Barry Bonds.
