Daytona last played on Tuesday.

how depressing is it that the Cubs have only outscored them by 2 runs in that time frame :(

Arizona Phil @ TCR[/url]"]2008 17h round draft pick RHP Jon Nagel got the start for the Cubs and threw three perfect innings. An EXTREME ground ball pitcher (and a good ol' country boy from the Ozarks), Nagel (as usual) pounded the bottom of the strike zone with a hard sinker, getting most-all of the opposition hitters to either strike out, or chop the ball into the ground in front of home plate.

 

Now 22, Nagel (6'4 230+) was drafted by the Cubs despite undergoing Tommy John elbow ligament transplant surgery prior to last June's draft, and it looks like the Cubs made an astute selection. He spent last summer rehabbing at Fitch Park before finally making his on-field debut this season, and he looks like he could pitch at Peoria right now. He has all the ear-marks of a rotation horse.

 

20-year old Venezuelan RHP Robert Hernandez (at Fitch Park rehabing from a spriained ankle suffered the last week of Minor League Camp) also threw two innings of shutout ball this morning, and appears ready to move up and out of Fitch Park whenever there is a roster opening at Daytona or Peoria. He has pitched very well every time out (so far). Hernandez went 2-4 with a 5.14 ERA in 17 games (15 starts) at Peoria in 2008, after missing the first two months of the season while serving a 50-game PED suspension.

 

...

 

Hak-Ju Lee, who had been limited to DH duty while rehabbing from 2008 Tommy John surgery, played shortstop for five innings today, and handled five chances hit his way seemlessly, making strong throws to 1st base each time. He showed no ill effects from the TJS.

 

Box score in the link, the game went 12 innings so quite a few pitchers got into the action and they all looked good (even 21-year old LHP Melvin Vasquez who gave up the only Giants run struck out 4 in 2 innings).

Jericho Jones went 2 for 4 including a deep shot off the centerfield green monster at Fitch #3.He played 4 innings at firstbase,4 in leftfield ,and 4 at dh. They had a lot of players shuffling positions in the 12 inning game.Our pitchers did a great job today.

Welington Castillo hit a HR for the second straight game. Coleman threw 5 scoreless but had 3 walks to 1 strikeout.

 

Caridad is getting beat up.

 

Hatley had 8 strike outs. 5 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 8 K.

I always found it odd when pitchers can miss so many bats and yet get hit hard like Hatley did. Although I've never seen him, I assume that's a combo of a decent out-pitch combined with suspect control on a medicore FB that often leaves him behind in the count and having to go to that FB.

Not related to current Cubs, but I saw Piggy throw tonight and it wasn't very good as he got knocked around by an Indy League team struggling to score runs.

 

I also heard that Grant Johnson is healthy again and threw well in his 1st start.
