I was at the game last night and lucked out getting to see Cashner. Got some pics that I will try to upload later. There is no doubt that he pitched a good game, but I have to question the scouting report from TCR. It is possible that Wellman brought a radar gun to the game or sat behind a scout with a radar gun, but according to the scoreboard radar gun Cashner wasn't pitching in the mid-90's. Do you happen to remember whether anyone else pitched above 94 last night? Minor League Ballparks are notorious for having inaccurate radar guns, so I'm curious as to whether it was a few ticks off.

Really? He's a 32 year old who's having one of the best seasons of his career. Plus, he's only under contract through 2011 (with a 2012 $16m option/$2m buyout). I know he wants to be traded to a contender, which likely rules the Cubs out, but if Hendry has an opportunity to get Oswalt in a fair deal, he should take it. Heck, I don't think anyone in the system should be off-limits in a trade for Oswalt.

Random question: does anyone know what happened to Aussie signees Adam Spencer and Cody Hams? Arizona Phil hasn't mentioned Spencer once this season and Hams last pitched about a month ago at EXST, but hasn't been heard from since then.

Juan Yasser Serrano should be on the "worth tracking" list, especially since he made his debut yesterday.

It's impossible to say at this point. Hell, it'll probably be impossible to say come draft day. This draft currently looks like it has a very strong Top 3 in Harper-Taillon-Machado (all of whom likely will go in the first three picks)...and then it turns into a mess. Frankie Piliere over at MLB Fanhouse said as much in a recent Live Chat: Andy Seiler echoed that today in response to a question about potential surprises in the draft. Making things even harder to predict for the Cubs is the fact that Tom Ricketts has been talking quite seriously about increasing the scouting, player development, and draft budgets for this team. The Cubs typically don't go much over slot, especially in early rounds. But this year...who knows for sure? If I had to guess, I'd probably say the Cubs take RHP/OF Brett Eibner out of Arkansas in the first round. He has #2 upside as a pitcher, although he is rather intriguing as a potential RF/CF who could hit for power. I don't like the odds of him making it to the Cubs since he's been steadily rising up the charts in recent weeks, but if he's there at 16, he'd make sense and be a very good pick.

Peoria's defense is making damn sure their game won't end tonight. ETA: Aaaaaaaand Peoria finally wins it after scoring 4 runs in the 15th, although they did give up another run in the bottom half of the 15th and ended the game by striking out the tying run with men on 2nd and 3rd. Yeesh, crazy game that clocked in at a little over 5 hours.

It seems Chris Archer has passed his control problems on to Brooks Raley.

It's a Community Mock Draft over on Minor League Ball (John Sickels' blog) and I'm picking for the Cubs in the first three rounds. At the moment, I'm still in the spit-balling phase, although I have a few ideas for my picks. I'm keeping a Mock Organization Diary. Here are the first two I've done: MOD #1 MOD #2 I'll edit new content, thoughts, polls, and rumors into MOD #2 from here on out.

I just posted a poll on non-HS players who could fall to #16 due to signability concerns (and other reasons). Any input would be welcome! Link

I actually asked Andy Seiler about Austin Wates, Jarrett Parker, and Kyle Parker last week. Here's what he said: Ryan LaMarre is another name I've been considering. I wouldn't be surprise to see any (or all!) of those four guys getting enough helium to make them viable possibilities with the #16 pick, especially considering this is not a very good year for top college position players.

I knew I forgot someone. Stranger things have happened, but for now he looks more like a 4th OF than anything else. He's a leadoff type of guy who'll hit for a reasonably high average and draw his share of walks, but he doesn't have a whole lot of power. While this wouldn't be a huge issue if he were a CF, he's pretty much a LF due to defensive issues in RF and CF.

There are a couple of guys down there worth seeing... Along with HJ Lee, 2B Logan Watkins and SP Trey McNutt are two guys who are close to or among the 10 best prospects in the system. Both were guys who were drafted and received signing bonuses well over slot. Watkins profiles as a good defensive 2B who occasionally plays SS. At the plate he's currently a guy who hits for average, but still needs some work on power and patience. Trey McNutt is a RHP who reportedly is able to get his FB into the mid-90s to go with a very good curve ball. After those three, there are a few guys who are interesting, but aren't on most prospect lists for various reasons. Larry Suarez is a right handed reliever who received a very large signing bonus out of Venezuela a few years ago. RHP Nick Struck was signed over slot in 2009, but has been inconsistent as a starter. RHP Jon Nagel is a personal favorite who was drafted two years ago coming off of Tommy John Surgery, he's mostly a sinkerballer from what I've read. 1B Justin Bour and 3B Greg Rohan are two guys who have been producing pretty well for the Chiefs, but are old for the Midwest League. Finally, ESPN had a great article about Matt Cerda, who is currently playing around the IF following an attempt by the Cubs to convert him to catcher. If you could provide reports on those games, they would be most appreciated!

That's pretty much my feeling on him. There's still something to be said for getting him innings and a major league workload, but unlike Cashner, there haven't been many questions about whether Jackson can pitch deep into games or maintain his stuff over the course of the season. Putting him in the bullpen in the short term wouldn't hurt.

Yeah, that's the rumor going around. From what I gathered, the Cubs do like him. Diamondbacks signed him today for $500k.
