    Rosters are out: https://www.thecubreporter.com/10042020/2020-cubs-az-instructional-league-roster Most glaring omissions appear to be Carraway, Clarke, Davis, Estrada, Franklin, Herz, Jensen, McAvene and the Thompsons.

    It’s the 21st pick. BA included Houston’s forfeited pick in their draft order. (This assumes they’ll go with 2020 record for their 2021 draft order.)

    How do the Dodgers do it? Seems like their strategy is to target and draft hitters who they can successfully change their swings, draft 2-way players who can improve when they focus on one side (of course everyone does this) and also take a lot of injured pitchers with past success, knowing that some will get healthy. I also like how they maximize depth by trading big leaguers in areas of strengths for prospects (Wood/Puig/Kemp for Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray; Maeda for Brusdar Graterol; Stripling for Kendall Williams). It’s a strategy teams like the A’s and Rays use but they don’t have the financial might of the Dodgers. All that said, now that Lux graduated, Fangraphs dropped their farm system to 20, only 3 ahead of the Cubs.

    BA says the Cubs will be playing 17 games (the least of any team in Arizona), from October 14 - November 7: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-arizona-instructional-league-schedule-set-to-begin-oct-5/

    Wish it was more than 20 games for minor leaguers but it’s better than nothing. I assume the Cubs will have their normal instructs before spring training in February 2021.

    After about 10 days, the Cubs once again have three top 100 prospects. 69. Brailyn Márquez 79. Brennen Davis 100. Miguel Amaya

    26th!!! Dammit, Theo FG has them at 24th. Obviously a little bit of the drop is related to Nico’s graduation but I suspect they’ll move up 2 spots in the next few weeks at the expense of the Angels and A’s when Adell, Luzardo and Murphy graduate.

    Missouri prep RHP Christian Little, one of the top prospects in next year’s draft, is instead enrolling early at Vanderbilt.
