Zastryzny's K/9 of 9.00 kind of snuck up on me there.

that's a clear weakness of K/9; his K% is 20.9%, not much different than teammate Zach Cates' 20% (and accompanying 6.85 K/9)

34% in 2 outings since coming back from that batted ball to the hand, will be interesting to see if that continues.

Wednesday at extended spring training: http://www.thecubreporter.com/05282014/venezuelan-trio-plus-alamo-too-much

 

Arnaldo Calero (solo HR, two walks, and an HBP) reached base four times, Gleyber Torres (two walks and an RBI single), Bryant Flete (RBI triple, RBI double, and a single), and Tyler Alamo (RBI single, a walk, and an HBP) reached base three times a piece, and the foursome combined to collect five RBI and score five runs, leading the Cubs to an 8-5 victory over the Athletics in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #2 (AKA "Connie Mack Field") at the Papago Baseball Complex in Phoenix, AZ.

 

...

 

In 18 Cactus League EXST games (55 PA), Cubs infielder Bryant Flete is hitting a robust 372/491/442, with one double and one triple, 11/10 BB/K, 8 RUNS, 9 RBI, and two SB (two CS), and has committed four errors (two at SS and two at 2B). The 21-year old Venezuelan has played both 2B and SS at EXST (although 2B is his best position), and he presently leads the team in both AVG and OBP (minimum 48 PA to qualify). So don't be too surprised if Flete wins a spot on the Boise Hawks Opening Day roster, especially if the Cubs opt to keep 17-year old SS Gleyber Torres in Mesa (AZL Cubs) for the summer. 

 

Meanwhile, Torres is hitting a very respectable 272/374/359 in 27 Cactus League Extended Spring Training games (108 PA), with 13/20 BB/K, four doubles, two triples, two SB (two CS and two  PO), 12 RUNS, and 10 RBI, but he has committed 11 errors.

Also, looks like we have an early preview of the position player rosters for Boise and Mesa (plus Pierce Johnson is doing BP as he rehabs from injury):

 

Arizona Phil[/url]"]INTRASQUAD GAME AT RIVERVIEW PARK THIS MORNING:

 

Josh Conway and Ryan McNeil threw two innings a piece and Ben Wells (battling "Steve Blass Disease"), Jesus Castillo, and Yomar Morel threw one inning each.  

 

Pierce Johnson and James McDonald threw pre-game "live" BP.

 

Position players at Cubs Extended Spring Training have apparently been divided into two squads ("Boise" and "Mesa"), with Gary Van Tol managing Boise and Jimmy Gonzalez managing Mesa (as they will be once the short seasons start next month)...

 

BOISE:   

CATCHERS: Erick Castillo, Mark Malave (also 1B-3B), Justin Marra (also 1B), and Alberto Mineo (also 1B) 

INFIELDERS: Zak Blair (2B), Varonex Cuevas (SS-2B-3B), Jesse Hodges (3B), and Rony Rodriguez (1B-LF-RF)  

OUTFIELDERS: Jeffrey Baez (RF-CF), Kevin Brown (LF-RF-3B-2B-1B), Rashad Crawford (CF-LF), Shamil Ubiera (RF-CF-LF), and Oliver Zapata (LF-CF-RF)

 

MESA:

CATCHERS: Tyler Alamo (also 1B), Antonio Valerio, and Eufran Vargas

INFIELDERS: Roney Alcala (1B-3B), Bryant Flete (2B-SS), Dalfis Ortiz (2B-3B), Adonis Paula (3B), and Gleyber Torres (SS)  

OUTFIELDERS: Charcer Burks (CF-LF), Arnaldo Calero (LF-CF-RF), Eloy Jimenez (RF), and Ricardo Marcano (LF-RF-1B)

I wonder how many years in a row the Astros can have the No. 1 overall pick and botch it.

Correa was a botch?

 

Without a doubt.

I get that Buxton is good, but come on. Correa comps to Tulo.
