    In the comments after the actual Ethan Wilson pick, they mentioned that James Wood has a huge price tag. Probably takes him off the board for the Cubs, if he was ever on it.

    Unless it’s ACL box score shenanigans, Ronnier Quintero is riding the pine yet again. I know they said they were working really hard on the defensive side of the game for him, but you’d think he’d still get at least some of the DH ABs.
  3. Hrubes20
    Damn. I suspected an injury of some sort, since he still hasn't surfaced on any teams. At least it's not surgery at this point. Hopefully Franklin has a similar non-surgical injury as well.

    Anyone else looking at the farm systems of contenders for possible Kimbrel pieces?
  5. Hrubes20
    I think the pitch counts are pretty sketchy down there still.
  6. Hrubes20
    Ooh. I like the Lonnie White connection
  7. Hrubes20
    I don't know wtf they're waiting for. They are severely lacking bats and they don't really have a CF worth a horsefeathers. The Sogard experience has to end sometime, right? Neifi effing Perez all over again.

    That’s gotta feel so good for him, after not being able to pitch in years
  9. Hrubes20
    Préciado with a double first time up. Man is it nice to have a highly touted youngster swing it right out of the gate.
  10. Hrubes20
    Carraway with another clunker. Sigh
  11. Hrubes20
    What the hell am I supposed to do without ACL action?
  12. Hrubes20
    Jasson Dominguez literally does not have a hit in his pro career yet and was put in the Futures Game. Crazy
  13. Hrubes20
    The FCL (Florida Complex League) has box scores up after the games, so I’m hopeful we get them for the ACL.
  14. Hrubes20
    I’m guessing Koen Moreno is the unnamed 5th starter?
  15. Hrubes20
    ACL starts in two days With all the shiny new toys from the Darvish trade, Morel has kind of been an afterthought. Nice to see him remind us all that he also can impact a game with his bat.
  16. Hrubes20
    With Nance turning back into a pumpkin without the sticky stuff, Leeper should be getting a shot sometime soon.
  17. Hrubes20
    Gross to both Fabian and McGreevy being linked to the Cubs in multiple places. Not a fan of either.
  18. Hrubes20
    Schalffer's final line: Of all the years to get rid of SS A ball, the year immediately after a complete shutdown of minor league baseball probably wasn't the best one. At least for the prep draft picks from 2020, as well as some of the teenage IFAs. I don't know if Caissie is ready for full season A ball (especially with the older than usual pitching staffs there this year), but it sure looks like he needs to be challenged more than he will be in the ACL. Eugene would have been perfect.

    Holy crap, you're right. June completely got away from me. I think I can handle another week. Speaking of 2020 draftees, is Howard hurt again? Given that they brought Santana back up, it makes you wonder.
  20. Hrubes20
    Bah Well crap. Have to wait a little longer to get any kind of positive news from the 2020 draftees.
  21. Hrubes20
    Caissie with 2 bombs today down in Mesa, per AZPhil. My body is ready for the ACL to begin.
  22. Hrubes20
    Offense is down league-wide, but the really good prospects are still hitting.
  23. Hrubes20
    Had to take a phone call mid-post and you beat me to it. Great outing.
  24. Hrubes20
    Will Bednar with an eye-opening performance last night. 15 Ks in only 6 innings against #2 ranked Texas. Have to think he's in the mix at 21 if they decide to go collegiate arm. Fits their prior philosophy a little bit as well, as I seem to recall reading somewhere that Bednar is a Rapsodo giant.
  25. Hrubes20
    Aliendo is a lot more athletic looking than I was anticipating. He's one of the few pleasant offensive surprises so far. And you can add Carraway to the disappointing duo of Howard/Nwogu as well. The early returns on the small 2020 draft class are extremely uninspiring. If Little and Moreno wanted to tear up Mesa, that'd be great.
