[Hrubes20]

I swear the two AZL teams only play on the same day about twice a week.

[Regular Show]

I wonder what the long-term plan is for Oscar De La Cruz? Should he become a reliever full-time? Has he been fully healthy this year? Will he ever be fully healthy as a starter? He has a strong frame and is a big dude, but I wonder if he'll perform better in relief.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, we know who is starting for AZL Cubs 1.

 

[Agony and Ivy]

Casey Coleman just punched out 9 in 6 for Iowa. I didn't even know he was back in our org. Since he was in Indy ball did he do something to re-invent himself like Rich Hill?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So Trent Giambrone has 3 homers today and is tied for the SL lead with 14.

 

The Cubs seemingly have an endless supply of potential bat-first utility guys in the upper levels (Bote, Short, Giambrone, Vimael Machin). All were drafted in the 10th round or later.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Probably about time to get Lacy to Myrtle Beach.

Thomas too.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

At this point, I have to think they need to amputate Nico's pinky.

They do know how to spot bats. I'm very hopeful about this draft class because of that.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Oscar de la Cruz just set a new career high for innings pitched at 77.1, topping his 2014 of 75 and 2015 of 73.

Ethan Roberts made his pro debut today with Eugene.
