DSL Cubs 1 had the day off

 

DSL Cubs 2 had the day off

Eloy is starting, batting sixth and playing RF for the World Team. The game is at 3 pm CT on the MLB Network.

 

Lol at Eloy, Vlad and Mejia batting so low:

 

[KingCubsFan]

That's a ridiculous lineup. I do t even know who is on the US team but it can't be better then that.

I made mention of this earlier in the week when BA and BP published their midseason top prospect lists. Each had 8 of the top 10 being Latin American IFAs.

 

And Verdugo and Naylor were drafted guys, so that makes the lineup even more stacked internationally.

 

Seriously, this doesn't compare:

Tseng left his improved strikeout rate at AA. Still, 2 runs in 5.1 isn't a bad debut.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I don't miss the players being said to be owned by or property of a team during the Future's Game.

 

AGREED.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Eloy looked helpless against Honeywell's change-up

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jen-Ho Tseng, Adbert Alzolay and Jose Albertos are all making their debuts at the next level.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Albertos doing good things

 

5 IP, 1 H, 1 unearned R, 1 BB, 4 K on 81 pitches. Hit 97 today and was still hitting 96 in his last inning.

Paredes 3-4 with two BBs and a double

That is quite an excellent game

[We Got The Whole 9]

Eloy with another swinging K

 

USA pitching has shut this lineup down completely

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Adbert Alzolay mixes in a walk with 3 strikeouts in his first inning at AA.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Alzolay through 2:

 

K swinging

2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 6 K. We found our Lackey replacement.

Paredes 3-4 with two BBs and a double

 

Season ends today, is there anyone who doesn't have Paredes safely tucked inside our top 10?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K for Alzolay. Two of the base runners he allowed were thrown out on the bases - a CS and a pickoff by his catcher.

[Hrubes20]

4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K for Alzolay. Two of the base runners he allowed were thrown out on the bases - a CS and a pickoff by his catcher.

 

1-2-3 5th inning with 2 more k's and a groundout.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K on 84 pitches for Alzolay.

 

He and Albertos didn't disappoint.

Paredes 3-4 with two BBs and a double

 

Season ends today, is there anyone who doesn't have Paredes safely tucked inside our top 10?

 

Last I looked I had 5 hitters ahead of him(Eloy, Burks, and the AAA trio), and on the pitching side you've got an increasing number of interesting options plus the draft class. Short answer, I don't know if I would.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K on 84 pitches for Alzolay.

 

He and Albertos didn't disappoint.

 

So we've got that goin' for us, which is nice.

Agreed. I just came up with a list and had Paredes at 12. Obviously I only put a couple minutes of thought into it, but it shows he's no slam dunk for the top 10.

 

1. Eloy Jimenez

2. Dylan Cease

3. Adbert Alzolay

4. Brendon Little

5. Alex Lange

6. Jose Albertos

7. Thomas Hatch

8. Charcer Burks

9. Jeimer Candelario

10. Victor Caratini

11. Mark Zagunis

12. Isaac Paredes

Wow. All pitchers 2 thru 7. How times have changed.

 

That said, there's a lot of subjectivity in any top ten ranking in this organization right now. We could see a lot of valid variation amongst people's rankings this year.
