Even after adjusting for age, you could make a pretty good case that Poteet is putting together the 4th or 5th best offensive season of any Cub minor leaguer this year.  He has too much swing-and-miss in his profile to make prospect lists but ...

I was just looking at the MiLB app and it looks like Iowa is facing old friend Richard Gallardo tonight

Any info on Poteet as a defensive catcher?

can't find anything. he's under the radar as it gets. Which I guess is expected from a 17th rounder

Hartshorn now 2 for his last 21.  First struggle at high-A so hopefully he gets back in the groove and gets promoted for the 2nd half.

Another great outing for Kevin Valdez.

Got screwed on a bad call for a walk and then gave up a homer to the next batter (his last).

Today marks a month since Juan Cabada last played.

Jose Escobar with two doubles, a single, and a dong.  Probably won't get another PA tonight but what a game.

Dude just hits

Ayers with another bomb tonight.

Tyler Schlaffer is apparently in the. bullpen now?  He was not my top choice among mediocre Tenn SPs but I could definitely see it working out.  He's exactly the sort of fringey SP that sometimes takes off with a bit of extra juice and a pared down repertoire.

It was 3 innings so I wonder if it's truly a move or just a piggyback.
