  1. 112.6 EV on the Mervis grand slam
  2. Morel walk and then 2 batters later, Velázquez HR to dead center. 2-0 Iowa. Here is video:
  3. Here is the full write-up for Lance’s top 30:
  4. Cade Horton is scheduled to make his pro debut on Saturday.
  5. At least early on, I think we’ll see a few piggyback guys getting the same number of innings as certain starters so not starting at either South Bend or Myrtle Beach shouldn’t be too big a deal. Just take the opportunity and force yourself into the rotation.
  6. Scheduled Game (Central Time): Iowa vs Columbus, 4:07 pm Tennessee vs Birmingham, 6:00 pm - opening night Myrtle Beach vs Charleston, 6:05 pm - opening night South Bend starts April 7th. Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Roenis Elías Tennessee: RHP Ryan Jensen Myrtle Beach: RHP Grant Kipp
  7. Good day for Jackson Ferris down in Arizona: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 0/4 GO/AO, 33 pitches (21 strikes):
  8. So 4 Cubs in Pipeline’s top 100 now (PCA 27, Alcántara 86, Davis 91, Horton 100).
  9. Iowa PPD again. At least Tennessee and Myrtle Beach get started tomorrow too.
  10. The Cubs have a pool of $5,152,200 in 2024, amongst the 8 lowest teams.
  11. I don’t think it’s too hot-takey (especially considering there were so many other options for that pick) but I do think it might be a bit too early to take these rankings too seriously, especially since Horton is intentionally being stretched out slowly due to a likely innings cap and hasn’t had a chance to show much in Arizona yet.
  12. Scheduled Game (Central Time): Iowa vs Columbus, 6:37 pm Tennessee and Myrtle Beach start April 6th. South Bend starts April 7th. Probable Starter: LHP Roenis Elías
  13. That’s some of it. They’re picking 13th in the first round and have the 19th biggest bonus. They lost pick 49 (their second rounder) for Dansby but gained pick 68 (between the 2nd and 3rd) for losing Willson. The White Sox definitely jumped the Cubs because of Swanson. The Giants and Red Sox jumped the Cubs partially for not signing a QO free agent but also for getting comp picks for losing Rodón, Boagerts and Eovaldi. Tampa, Milwaukee and Baltimore jumped the Cubs because they got additional competitive balance picks and the Mariners jumped them due to a competitive balance pick and a prospect promotion incentive pick (Julio Rodríguez).
  14. José Rijo had 5!? Sounds like only Venters made it back to the bigs after his 3rd.
  15. Confirmed that it’s TJS (his third):
  16. Smokies roster (what a fun rotation - Wicks, Brown, Palencia, Jensen and Hodge): Sounds like Herz and Leigh aren’t too far behind:
  17. Will be interesting since 4 catchers on one roster is excessive and Hearn and Opitz are thought of highly defensively.
  18. Klaw: https://theathletic.com/4367417/2023/03/31/cactus-league-scouting-dodgers-cubs/
  19. Howard is still rehabbing and staying back in Arizona.
  20. Threw 60 pitches yesterday so he should be on track to go to an affiliate. Arizona Phil did call his appearance a SB tuneup.
