Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-2-22
Hrubes20 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Gonna be fun having our own Pablo Sandoval for awhile. -
He’s a Cubs fan. Wes (or Yagyu for those who came over from PSD) has been doing the Lord’s work on Cubs draft signing info for a long time. He started way before the slot assignments and bonus pools. Back when you legitimately had no idea if a prep player taken in the 3rd round was going to sign.
-
He’s already resumed throwing off flat ground. Wouldn’t be at all shocked if he gets some pitching in at fall instructs in 3-4 months
-
The last pick, JuCo product Ke'Shun Collier, looks a hell of a lot like Juan Pierre in his video. Slapping the ball in play and then using great speed.
-
Annoying that Roederer is injured again. Guy just can't stay healthy.
-
At this point, it's best to forget that Marquez is a thing. Take the Angel Guzman approach, and if he ends up being a really good reliever for a few years, you count that a win.
-
https://sports.yahoo.com/passaic-tech-baseball-star-nazier-184933597.html I'm assuming his name is pronounced mu-LAY? That's correct.
-
Excellent. Let him start every day at 1B at the expense of Jared Young and Nelson Maldonado. Those 2 have been pretty terrible since mid-April. I'm over Rivas as well, if he gets demoted again. Mervis deserves some run.
-
I believe the Cubs just drafted Mark McGwire's son. That feels gross.
-
Cubs will have roughly $500K to play with in overages before any penalties, so that certainly counts. 7th rounder, Nick Hull, is the first big money saving senior sign. Wouldn't shock me to see at least 2 more in rounds 8-10.
-
Yep, the first senior sign. Although Birdsell is probably a guy that gets slot money. He's actually a legit prospect that only fell due to injury concerns.
-
The Mule pick is a fun one. I'm guessing the senior signs are gonna start coming in shortly.
-
I would have much rather had Ben Joyce I’m not very interested in a once-a-week 1-inning relief pitcher until after the 5th round. Certainly not interested after Carraway and even Crochet. Same. Cubs have dipped into the "best RP in the draft" pool before and it hasn't ended well. Honestly, it rarely ever ends up well for anyone. Let someone else take those guys in the first 4 rounds. I know very little about Paciolla, but the few blurbs I just read make him sound a lot like Triantos. Edit: The BA write-up Raisin posted makes him sound absolutely nothing like Traintos. Apparently scouts really are in disagreement on him.
-
I wouldn’t be upset if Gavin Turley was picked by the Cubs today.
-
Braves.
-
Always a good reminder that this board hated the Horner and Brennen Davis picks. I remember a bunch of hate towards the Hoerner and Roederer picks, but not so much the Davis pick.
-
Absolutely agree. If they get Horton underslot, then it's on the level of a Neto underslot deal for me. But man. Lee/Parada/Collier were all sitting there and are superior prospects.
-
Dang. Wanted Termarr to be an option at 7.
-
Holy shitballs.
-
Agreed. Think it’ll be Collier or Neto for the Pirates. I like Neto a bit, but I wouldn't hate to have him off the board at 7.
-
I knew he wasn't falling past 3 anyway, so everything still on the table.
-
Too much Brooks Lee to the Cubs chatter. Getting my hopes up.

Wicks would like a mulligan on his AA debut. -
Jordan Wicks and DJ Herz Promoted to AA

Seems appropriate after the latest run he's been on. Gallardo getting the bump up as well? -
Throw Calvin Ziegler in this group as well. He's supposedly not done for the year, but he hasn't pitched in awhile.
