| Rizzo promotion on horizon?: Cubs manager Dale Sveum told reporters Sunday that the team has talked about promoting first base prospect Anthony Rizzo in June. However, Sveum added the caveat that Rizzo would have to play every day. "He's done everything he can down there," Sveum said about Rizzo's progression at Triple-A. "But once again, when you bring somebody up like that he has to play everyday. That's the million dollar question: How do we get that playing time? But that's definitely something we're going to talk about, probably in the beginning of June, interleague play when he need the DH and those kind of things too." (Updated 05/20/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Rizzo's biggest weakness in the past has been hitting lefties, but he finally has shown some stability in that area at Triple-A Iowa. Rizzo is batting .304 with four homers and 11 RBI in 46 at-bats against left-handed pitchers this year. He's on another power surge in the PCL, belting 14 homers and producing a .706 slugging percentage in 40 games. Promoting Rizzo to the majors hinges on finding at-bats for Bryan LaHair in the outfield. Rizzo should be up this summer and it seems that could happen as early as June. Make sure to stash him in deep Fantasy formats because his left-handed power bat should suit him well at Wrigley Field. (Updated 05/20/2012). |
