Yohendrick Piñango is on one:

This is good. With his age and him repeating the level, it was hard to put too much stock into what seem like genuine improvements.

 

Herz was basically immaculate for four innings and then the wheels came off in the fifth.

 

Pinango has two more singles after the first inning dong and Caissie's 2/3 with a double.

Cam Sanders looking good at Iowa. 95-98 FB, flashing a plus curve. Hopefully at some point in the next few months he can continue his way up.

 

4IP 2H 1ER 4BB 7Ks

 

Also, Ball continues to hit with a single in his 1st ab for the Tenn RBI

A lot of really great things are happening in the minor leagues for the Cubs organization. I wish Howard didn’t get injured. Hopefully Davis can get healthy.

The depth has really improved. Still need to see higher ceilings from the top 5 to make it a great system but I don't recall this much depth even when they had top systems in 02 and 15.

Horsefeathers the Rule 5, Sanders will see the MLs this year if this keeps up (I hope):

 

(Since he never developed much of a change) If that slider can be an out pitch to lefties, it'll go a long way in him becoming a starter instead of a middle reliever with fringy command.

Owen Caissie since 4/29: .273/.368/.424, 7.9% BB, 18.4% K

James Triantos since 4/20: .338/.420/.454, 11.4% BB, 14.8% K

Reggie Preciado since 5/1: .300/.333/.433, 3% BB, 27.3% K

 

FG doesn't have groundball data in their gamelogs, but still feels like Caissie and Triantos are too on the ground right now, while obviously Reggie's not walking enough. Still great to see three guys who started the year in deep funks start to come out of it.

 

Also, as a bonus, here's Yonathan Perlaza since 4/28: .270/.471/.568, 25.5% BB, 23.5% K

 

Feels like we need to talk about him more. All the scouting folks are very meh on him, but there's a lot of fun stuff in his offensive profile and he's no longer *that* far away from the majors.

Ed Howard looked like he belonged in that group of kids turning it around but instead, his season is over.
