Luke Blaize at Bleacher Nation pointed out Carlos Sepulveda this morning, who I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on. Slashing .315/.383/.402 with a 12/15 BB/K ratio at South Bend at age 19. He plays 2B.

MiLB.com has none other than Pierce Johnson listed for game 1 in Iowa

La Stella homer for Iowa.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It's 3 AM somewhere

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Vogelbomb. His 15th.

[TruffleShuffle]

Eloy Jimenez was PH for in the 4th inning last night, and isn't in the lineup today. What the dillyo?

[ctcf]

Ian Happ with a huge HR

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Vogelbach with a bases-clearing double to tie the game in the seventh of a seven-inning game. 3-4 with 2 doubles and a homer.

What sucks about following the minors, especially lower levels, is that it's tough to find an injury (or lack there of) update.

I mean how bad can he really be at 1B...

Vogelbach's a guy that I could see called up and teeing off "welcome to the big leagues" fastballs for some weeks.

Don't we already have some dude who happens to be really good at it?

I don't know, but it's really not relevant to the Cubs. His burgeoning trade value is, though.

[TruffleShuffle]

vogelbach's OPS is now 5th in the PCL, behind a guy who plays in el paso, his former teammate (willson), a guy who plays in reno, and some 30 year old who also plays out west. #tradebait

[Gilby]

Who has more trade value, especially for an American League team - Soler or Vogelbach?

[TruffleShuffle]

ian happ is hitting .733 at tennessee, if he can keep that up i think he will move up the prospect rankings.

He's improving his K rate big time too. It was 19.5% last year, then 30.3% in April. But since then he went 17.9% in May and 15.4% in June before this. June ISO of .324 leading into this game. And the 17.3% BB rate since 5/1 is handy too. Yeah he could be a bigger deal than I'd have figured. Tightening up those Ks is a big thing for a strict first baseman. And FG still has a 20/60 for his game power from their preseason rankings. Last year's .154 ISO and 7 HRs in 324 PAs was realll unispiring. Let's see this power binge continue.

Safe to say.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Happ is 20 for his last 29 with 7 doubles and 3 home runs

[Tim]

Happ is 20 for his last 29 with 7 doubles and 3 home runs

Is that good? I feel like that's pretty good.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

If you have a a .241 average alone on hits that happen to be doubles, I think things are gonna be just fine.

Also, because today is a day for celebrating how much great hitting we have in the organization, here are the lines for Torres and Jimenez since 5/1:

 

Torres: .289/.361/.465 137 wRC+ .380 wOBA 9.9%BB/20.2%K 7 HR

Eloy: .366/.404/.607 196 wRC+ .463 wOBA 5.4%BB/19.2%K 9 HR

 

Good times

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Zagunis homer.
