Also that 19-year Korean SS Ho-Young Son who quit his college team because he didn't want to play anymore is on the AZL Cubs roster.

Name 9/10

Jose Paulino gets the start for Mesa in their season opener.

 

Jorge Soler is batting cleanup and has a double, facing fellow rehabber Archie Bradley. Gleyber Torres leading off, Eloy Jimenez not in the lineup.

Wonder what's going on, as he's clearly not in the DR.

Probably just getting a chance to watch. Gleyber showed himself to be ready in EXST, Jimenez not so much.

 

That would be an incredible waste of a season.

 

Soler being there kind of screws up the playing time. FYI, the guy starting in LF today, Ricardo Marcano, had a worse ExST than Eloy (.190/.300/.207 vs .261/.289/.402).

 

ETA: Heck, Manny isn't playing either (clearly Soler's is more important than Eloy or Manny and I can't imagine Manny can play anywhere besides DH).

Um, it's just one game. The first game. I doubt he'll be on the bench the entire season. Maybe he's nursing an injury. Who knows...

 

Marcano's two years older. Played well in the VSL last season. Why are we overanalyzing this?

Nice night for 19-year-old, 2013 overslot (12th round) Trevor Clifton. 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R (earned), 2 BB, 7 K. Classic pitcher's body and projectable frame at 6'4", 170 lbs. Live fastball, is getting ground outs a lot in EXST and his first two games in Boise, more than a K per inning. He's interesting.

Soler now 2/3 with two doubles and a K.

 

Ricardo Marcano has a double, Adonis Paula and Charcer Burks each have a triple.

 

If the box score is right, Paulino got roughed up big time in the 4th and ended up giving 7 runs (6 earned) in his 4-inning start.

So Harrison Bermudez had quite the rough outing today in the VSL: 0.1 IP, 4 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2 HBP, 1 WP.

the scott frazier of the VSL

[Guest]

Soler up to 3/5 with 2 doubles and 2 Ks. Hopefully it won't be long before he's back in Tennessee.

 

In a game that the AZL Cubs have scored 9 runs through 8 innings, Gleyber Torres is 0/5.

Eloy got in the game as a pinch hitter and, just like Gleyber Torres, struck out in his first pro PA.
