Lange and Little...the poop bucket from '17 that keeps on keepin' on.

Josue Huma homered down in ExST and Gallardo threw a couple more innings. I’m at least a little eager to find out how many innings Gallardo gets this year between ExST and the ss leagues he’ll play this summer

AAA is a joke right now but who cares; so is MLB. Feels like he will get a shot this year.

No kidding. Out of Contreras, Baez, Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber, Bote, Almora, Heyward and Russell, only 3 have more doubles than HRs. And there are currently 7 I-Cubs who have done the same. (In case some of you haven't heard, AAA is using MLB baseballs for the 1st time this season.)

 

MLB effectively ended players from taking steroids. Now they have to institute penalties for the baseballs.

Mekkes started out wild this season but in his last 5 outings: 7.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K.

From what I hear, it’s his defense that 1st caught our scouts’ eye. Could be a useful reserve. Certainly more-so than Adduci.

Pretty standard for an AAA to me- a few proper prospects (Happ & Alzolay,) a handfull of intriguing, fringey guys (Garcia, Mekkes, Norwood) and a bunch of expendable spare parts for the big league team.

I meant the level across baseball is a joke
