Ademan and Sierra continue to impress with their plate discipline in the earliest goings.

 

I do find it interesting they were both sent to the DSL when most 7-figure Latin American prospects start stateside.

I wouldn't be stunned if either came back stateside this summer. AZL Cubs season doesn't open for another 9 days and then they're open until at least August 29th.

 

That's what I'm hoping for.

Contreras 2-2, with a single and double so far.

[NOLA]

Contreras 2-2, with a single and double so far.

Is this going to be a Schwarber like thing, where they bring him up for a DH heavy part of the schedule?

Do we even have one of those with the at Angels series out of the way already?

eloy jimenez doubled in the 9th but was pinch run for. don't see anything on twitter about him having suffered an injury, although one would think that's what happened.

 

Eloy Jimenez doubles (19) on a sharp line drive to right fielder Manny Sanchez.

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Sutton Whiting replaces Eloy Jimenez.

Munenori Kawasaki's walk-up song is Outkast's "So Fresh, So Clean."
