1 for last 20, but only 4 Ks.
Just before these 20 ABs, he was 8 for 20, but with 8 Ks.
No, the answer is not more Ks.
Maybe the question is, what the heck is up with Baez. Wonder if
Cubs have a clue. Kinda doubt it.
Find a club who thinks it knows the answer and trade him there
for a good return.

Unless more than one other club believes they know the answer,
it is unlikely the Cubs could find that "good return" because no
teams would be bidding against each other. Considering his
upside, unless some other team made a surprisingly high offer,
it is probably best that the Cubs keep him and hope he figures
things out.

Happ now with 19 Ks in 57 PAs at SB.
Exactly 1/3 Ks. Not good. Some of us remarked pre-draft that
Happ had a higher-than-ideal K rate in college.
Midwest League should not be terribly challenging to an advanced
college hitter---a guy who played TWO summers at the Cape. Some
clubs even more conservative than Cubs with college hitter.
Benintendi still in short-season ball and Mets did same with
Conforto last season.
Only 57 PAs there but would like to see better contact going
forward from Happ.

Happ's ceiling: a better Mark Bellhorn?

If he could be a more consistent Bellhorn that would be a pretty
good player. Bellhorn's first season with the Cubs and with Red
Sox was a 3+ WAR player.

Bellhorn had two real nice seasons, otherwise was barely ML
caliber. But his K/BB rates, pedestrian BA, and raw power
reminded of Happ though Happ is clearly a better athlete.
