Blue Chip Stocks:
Jesse Chavez: How good has Chavez been since arriving on July 21? After arriving on the North Side, Chavez has pitched eight innings, surrendering no runs while striking out nine in the process. This week, Chavez pitched five scoreless innings, including eating up three innings on Saturday after Jose Quintana laid an egg. The Chavez trade wasn’t sexy, but boy, it has certainly paid dividends thus far.
Javier Baez: Javy continues to tear the cover off the baseball this year, going 8-for-22 with two home runs and five runs batted in.
