[Wrigley Rat]

Sorry if already posted, but Tim Clubb has been assigned to Peoria.

Poster does not link his source. But says that Peoria will ahve Antigua, McNutt, Jun, Nagle, and Struck in rotation, with McNutt/Jung piggy-backing. We already know that Whitenack is in.

 

I'm thrilled that they like Struck enough to be starting him.

 

The one guy I thought might be in the mix who isn't listed is Ronny Morla. That he wasn't mentioned doesn't preclude that they'll actually end up piggy-backing him. But they may just see him better suited for a relief role.

 

typical rotation usage for Peoria in April is sometimes very confusing, since sometimes half the Midwest-league games seem to get called for rain, snow, or cold!

I'm expecting a lot of shuffling down there this year. Like you, I hope Morla gets some starting opportunities.

Thanks for link toon.

 

I wonder when the last Cubs last had a full-season lineup with a sequence of players as unlikely to hit a HR as Valdez-Lee-Watkins-Cerda batting 9-3? Or with as much speed as Valdez-Lee-Watkins back-to-back-to-back?

 

I hope the couple of players in the 4-7 spots do provide at least some power. That could be an exceptionally exciting lineup to watch offensively, with lots of contact hitters and make-things-happen speed. Could be a pretty low-pop low-scoring operation too, though.
