DSL Rockies at DSL Cubs 1 9:30 AM

DSL Cubs 2 at DSL Giants 9:30 AM

 

Looking at the DSL Rosters, here's where the 6-figure bonus players are:

 

DSL Cubs 1:

 

2B Carlos Penalvar - $550,000 bonus, DOB: 5/17/94

3B Jeimer Candelario - $500,000 bonus, DOB: 11/24/93

OF Jeffrey Baez - $350,000 bonus, DOB: 10/30/93

SS Francisco Sanchez - $350,000 bonus, DOB: 12/17/93

LHP Angel Mejias - DOB: 10/30/93

RHP Alexander Santana - DOB: 10/23/93

SS Antonio Gonzalez - DOB: 1/27/94

 

DSL Cubs 2:

 

RHP Gilberto Abreu - 8/8/93

 

As an aside, some of the DSL Cubs 1 and 2 rosters are inaccurate and still have last year's players, like Gioskar Amaya, Starling Peralta, Willengton Cruz, Amaury Paulino, Marco Hernandez and Willson Contreras who are all at Fitch.

It's McKurczeeler Day!

 

Make that Bibens-McKurczeeler

[TruffleShuffle]

5 ip, 3 h, 0 r, 2 bb, 2 k, 5 go/5 fo for mcnutt so far. only 58 pitches.

[Outshined_One]

5 ip, 3 h, 0 r, 2 bb, 2 k, 5 go/5 fo for mcnutt so far. only 58 pitches.

 

Finished with 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 9-6 GO-FO on 73 pitches. Nice.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The I Cubs faced a reliever named Mark Hamburger. Im sure everytime this guy guves up a home run, the meatball jokes pretty much write themselves.

[davell]

Kurcz only went 3 tonight, but he didn't pitch all that well and I'm guessing they've got him on a very strict pitch count anyway. Beeler went 4, giving up 6 hits, 2 runs, walked 1 and K'd 5.

 

Szczur is 4-4 with 2 doubles and a steal.

[Little Slide Rooter]

There are a lot of D Cubs that are really impressive. lake, Bour, Cerda, and Crawford(The Crawdad according to the D Cubs twitter, a nickname that I really hope doesn't stick) could all be ready for Tenn as soon as they clear out Iowa and start promoting some of the Smokies.

Brett Jackson looked good in his final rehab tune up. Austin Reed had a really bad start.
