New Minor League Players??

[texascub]

Does anyone know where this sudden influx of minor league players in our system is coming from? Mac Suzuki has popped up on Iowa's roster and it appears like he came from Mexico, as does Hugo Castellanos. They've also picked up a 1B by the name of Jesse Hoorelbeke who hasn't even played this year before we got him.

 

West Tenn has picked up Brian Reith who appears to have been out of baseball before we signed him. They've also picked up SS Albenis Machado, who again appears to have been out of baseball before we signed him.

 

Are the injuries/callups throughout the upper minors responsible for this recent trend, or is Hendry's new strategy to go dumpster-diving for talent?

They're mostly roster-fill and due to the injuries. Mac Suzuki was signed last week. The Cubs also signed Jesse Hoorelbeke last week from the independent Northern League. He was expected to head to West Tenn with Dopirak being shut down.

hahahahaha, Mac Suzuki

Mac Suzuki, there's a name for ya. He used to pitch for the Royals and Brewers IIRC. He's well over 30, and is filler. Shouldnt be a consideration for a callup at anypoint the rest of his career. Didn't Brian Reith used to be a Reds prospect?

There is nobody by the name of Brian Reith on the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. He might have gone to Iowa.

I guess it's another error by MiLB, they still have him listed on West Tenn's roster.

If this is the same Jesse Hoorelbeck who played college ball at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, he dated my friend Leslie for awhile.

One and the same: Jesse Hoorelbeke.

27 might be just a titch old to be putting up mediocre numbers in AA.
