Wow. Koen Moreno to Myrtle Beach!

Box Scores: Iowa PPD - Wet Grounds Tennessee won 2-0 Box Score South Bend lost 7-6 Box Score Myrtle Beach won 7-6 Box Score

As Hearn has flopped, Aliendo has turned into that interesting catcher bridging the gap between Amaya and the countless recent Latin American IFAs in Mesa or the Dominican complex. Nwogu has been more disappointing than Howard.

Someone’s hot

And struck out both ABs. This MFer needs to go back to Mesa. He’s horribly overmatched in A ball right now. Once they made the decision to keep him at Myrtle Beach, I'd stick with him a bit more than 4 ABs since he's coming off a missed month.

Ed Howard starting today.

I'm just not keen on Fabian and his numerous strikeouts.

Apparently it's Ryan Kellogg at Tennessee and Adam Laskey at Myrtle Beach. I've had a tough time keeping up with MB's rotation with all their rain outs.

Never mind - Stock clearly isn't starting today for Iowa.

I figure there’ll be a few more navigating to Arizona. Hopefully Cristian is one of them. Thank God. That makes more sense. I know AZ Phil mentioned the Cubs would only be fielding one ACL team, but I couldn't for the life of me understand why that would mean Quintero would play in the DSL especially after already having been stateside for several months. However, with just one Mesa team, I expect Hernandez will play in the DSL. Howard's injury didn't seem very severe. He's already missed 3 weeks. When he comes back, Made (who hasn't been lighting up Low-A) will likely return to Mesa. With Made and Pinango both in Mesa, it might be a little crowded if Hernandez was there as well. Has AZ Phil said anything about the number of DSL teams the Cubs will roster? Did you mean Santana, not Piñango? BA mentioned yesterday the Cubs will have 2 DSL teams (there will be two orgs with no DSL squads).
