Fernando Cruz' I Cub debut isn't going as well as he hoped.

Bullpen blew a lead in the 7th, but Oscar de la Cruz went 6 with 4 Ks, no walks, 3 hits, and 1 R allowed for Eugene.

 

DelaCruz has his WHIP down to a nice round 1.0. Good size, good numbers, good K-stuff, good control, good age. Everything in order, no red flags. Will be interesting to see how he progresses next year.
