they should cancel all baseball games today. Give the draft the attention it deserves.

@billazbbphotog: Manny Ramirez & Ryan Sweeney both playing for #Cubs extended spring team this morning. Manny looks in excellent shape.

[Guest]

Forgot all about Sweeney

@billazbbphotog: ManRam almost homers for #Cubs extended spring team. Ball hits off the fence in left center and Manny settles for a long single.

He's must think he's still in Boston.

To be fair, as a 40 year old that may be all he could get.

That's a shame. The K-less streak was getting heartening.

do we even ask about soler anymore?

Someone posted something about him today...just don't remember where.

 

He's hitting and doing drills. Not playing in games.

Raisin posted this in the Cubs news thread yesterday

 

Soler update from Muskat: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140604&content_id=78178224&notebook_id=78204872&vkey=notebook_chc&c_id=chc

 

Soler, ranked No. 5 on MLB.com's list of the Cubs' top 20 prospects, is doing agility work and hitting in the batting cages. He has not played in extended spring games.

Love it.

OBP up to .300 yet?

Hendricks has had a rough go of it ever since he had that start skipped. 16 IP, 23 H, 12 ER, 9/8 K/BB, 2 HR

 

Good to see Vogelbach and Hannemann hitting real well the last week or two, could use some life from offensive prospects below AA.

Damn you for bringing this to my attention.

 

Have always been a big Hendricks backer, sucks to hear.

[Thrilho]

Hannemann starting June out hot. 4 doubles in his last 3 games and hasn't struck out yet in 17 June PAs. For as bad as his season has been, he's still sporting an 8.8% walk rate.

 

 

Also, Skulina had a decent night. 6 IP 2 H 3 R 2 ER 5 K. The hits were a single and a double. His last 4 starts:

 

23.1 IP 7 H 1.55 ERA 12 BB 18 K

 

 

Obviously the walks are up, but he's really holding the hits down. Together with Zas's non-disastrous start yesterday, and the AZPhil saying some in the organization who believe Frazier has "the nastiest stuff in the system" it's been a decent week for the 2013 class. #findingreasonstotrusttheo

Oh, also Almora went 2-5 with 2 singles in his first game in the #2 hole.
