    That'll work as a lefty reliever. He may have emerged as a possible Iowa shuttle option in the near future which would be a nice result for guy picked up off the scrap heap. He was dominant in the Carolina League (which is notoriously pitcher friendly), so we'll have to see how he handles AA in 2020. Lawlor, 25, was a college junior draftee in the 8th round in 2015 and was mostly used as a starter before his release from the Braves org after 2017. He pitched in Indy ball until the Cubs signed him in July of '18. This year, he started off well in South Bend (.154 BAA, 1.83 ERA, 24 Ks in 19.2 IP) but walked 7 in his first 3 games. He settled in a bit after that and was quickly promoted to Myrtle Beach where he put up: 35.2 IP, 23 H, 1 HR, 13 BB, 61 K, .177 BAA, 1.01 WHIP, 2.02 ERA, 1.59 FIP, 1.97 xFIP. With those numbers coming against High-A hitters while 25 years old, he's not an exciting prospect. But he is a guy who came out of nowhere (Cubs pitching lab?) to be a possible useful depth shuttle arm. A 93-95 mph fastball from the left side with the ability to miss bats is worth giving a follow. I've seen him mentioned a few times during the season as someone to watch and those times, the reports were mid-90s with a good curve too.

    3 Cubs in the MWL top 20: Brailyn Márquez at 3, Brennen Davis at 10 and Riley Thompson (not Cole Roederer!) at 19. Only Wander Franco and Matthew Liberatore were ranked ahead of Brailyn.

    I find it hard to believe you can rank 100 prospects in the AZL ahead of Benjamin Rodriguez.

    The Rising Stars game is tonight. Miguel Amaya is batting 7th and catching.

    Pedro Martínez was the only Cub in the AZL Top 20, at 18: The top of the league was freaking loaded: 1. CJ Abrams 2. Marco Luciano 3. Bobby Witt Jr 4. Corbin Carroll 5. Diego Cartaya

    It was an absolutely stupid decision to bring him in (or any starter) when you have actual functioning, good relief pitchers who only need to get 7 outs. That said, Kershaw had 5.2 scoreless playoff relief innings (all in deciding games) before tonight.

    BA skipped the MWL and went to the NWL for their top 20s today: Strumpf came in 5 spots higher on this list than UCLA teammate and 2019 1st rounder Michael Toglia.

    BA put out a mock draft top 10 today. Here is their synopsis of next year's draft: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-mlb-mock-draft-end-of-the-season-way-too-early-edition/

    Ties are broken using the previous year's standings, with worse record winning the tiebreaker. And to think, you people were disappointed the Cubs didn't win 108 games and the World Series in 2018.

    A new name, possibly for this year for a team that hasn’t spent or next year: An update on who hasn’t spent much yet (the Cubs are pushing to the top of their cap):

    Miguel Amaya came in at 11 on the Carolina League top 20:
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    No Cubs made BA's PCL Top 20. Nico Hoerner came in at 15 on their SL Top 20:
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    It's only 17 PA but he's got a 1.314 OPS thus far. Dude just might be going Gleyber on the AFL.

    It used to be free back when Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler were playing for Mesa.

    When I went in 2013, there was maybe 100 people there. And for the most part, it was player's family or scouts/MLB folks. And that was on Veteran's Day weekend.
