    Nick Hull (7th rounder) and Matthew Peters (12th rounder) made their pro debuts today in the ACL. Hull: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K Peters: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K No Cristian Hernández or Pedro Ramírez. Wonder if they are headed to Myrtle Beach.

    Assad is the fourth signed from the 7/2/15 IFA class to make the bigs and the third to do so with the Cubs (Isaac Parades, Brailyn Márquez and Christopher Morel).

    Lesson learned. Don’t ever listen to Crawly:

    ACL season ends tomorrow.

    As we’ve seen with Willson, a player’s social media activity isn’t always about the game.

    He’s on the move to Iowa Confirmed? Yeah, Greg/NamedAfterMaddux confirmed it. Would love to see Nwogu to AA and a long overdue promotion to high-A for Pagán. ETA:

    Yes, Buehler might be a disingenuous comparison but I think he is a reminder than IP/S doesn’t necessarily lock you into a relief role. Palencia is racking up innings comparable to, if not greater, than most Latin American signings in their first two pro seasons but since he’s older, he’s already in high-A instead of in the complex leagues and under more scrutiny. He’s still got time to stretch out his pitches/start and innings/season, which he will have to if he wants to be a true starter in the bigs. A better comparison for him would likely be one of those older Latin IFA signees like Framber Valdez or Luis García with the Astros. As a side note, I think we on the outside as a whole tend to be too quick giving up on pitchers as starters, especially now as we have to contend with the lost pandemic season (the lost season didn’t affect Palencia but is something to consider with someone like Keegan Thompson).

    I like Palencia lots too but he's gone over 3 lower minors IP a whole 9 times over 32 appearances between 2021-2022. Starter in any traditional sense is prooooobably not happening Something interesting about Palencia is he’s averaging more innings per start this year than Walker Buehler did in his one full season in the minors (2017). I feel like it’s pointless to just give up on starting for pitchers who are still building up IP, show they can start so far and are slower movers (Palencia is over a year from the bigs still).
