Dan Kantrovitz is on Road to Wrigley on Marquee right now.

Birdsell touched 96 in the first. Mostly 94-95.

Caissie got hit the other night and hasn't been in the lineup since.  Haven't seen any type of update here. 

Can't remember the last time a prospect of his caliber got less attention.

Cristian Hernandez crossed the 40 steal mark tonight

When he starts converting some more of that raw power into actual slugging he's going to get really exciting really fast.

Camacho with 8 KS in 4

2 good starts for Myrtle Beach: 

[Bertz]

Assuming he doesn't get another AB tonight, Ty Southisene has a .421 OBP going back to June 20th.

He's going to be talked about a lot in the offseason when it comes to trades. He's one to dream on.

Do we have any scouting info on camacho?  He'd been walking the world in ACL, so I don't think I'd given him a thought.  But that's flipped at Myrtle in early small sample.  He's short, shorter than Florentino.  

Camacho in ACL:  20BB/23 IP.
Camacho at Myrtle:  4BB/16IP.

Low 90s FB, good change. There’s a slider that hasn’t been too effective. 

If you look at his game logs, Camacho had 13 BB in his first 3 ACL appearances (7.1 IP) and only 7 BB the rest of the way (16 IP). He must have figured something out down in Arizona.

I think you're trading him for pennies to the dollar this offseason unless his stats bounce back a bit.
