    Going forward, just take the forfeit L and don’t ever go back to Miami.

    Gassed defense and a lack of pressure that is no longer masking a mediocre secondary.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    That was a BS penalty on Burton but Mitchell just can’t make that throw.

    That won’t make sense financially if the Cubs are trying to avoid the higher end of the CBT.

    The Cubs has two prospects in the AZL Top 20. One shouldn’t surprise anyone: And one surprising one:

    Never believe Kaplan: https://theathletic.com/582294/2018/10/11/the-only-thing-kris-bryant-wanted-to-extend-was-the-cubs-season/

    I like Merrifield but I think the Royals will rightfully want more than the Cubs can afford in a prospect package. Additionally, the Cubs can get middle infield and utility help through free agency and better utilize their trade capital for pitching help.

    10/9/18: SS N. Hoerner 0/4, 3 K 10/10/18: C J. Pereda 1/4, K; defense: 0/3 CS RP B. Clark 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-2 GO-FO, 30-18 pitches-strikes

    Jhonny Pereda is the only Cub starting tonight.

    In the Victor Victor and Gaston writeups, Fangraphs also had this: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-the-mesa-gaston-workout/

    Were other teams that interested in Roederer? I haven't heard or read anything about other teams showing heavy interest in him. They might have had better scouting reports when he was healthy, but I'm pretty sure if the Cubs don't draft him he ends up going to UCLA. In a recent podcast, Longenhagen mentioned a scout for a team besides the Cubs whispered Benintendi comps.

    Amusingly, Amaya ends up at 87 on BA’s final list too.

    Time to feel old again: Craig Hodges' son is a prep prospect expected to be picked high in the 2019 draft.

    Cubs offering that makes sense. Kris turning that down makes sense. Of course I have no idea how accurate Kaplan is. He was saying Maddon would be out if the Cubs lost to the Rockies and...
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    He’s an Astro so isn’t that the same thing?
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nico ended up going 0/4 with 3 Ks. He's on the taxi squad so he gets to sit on that performance till the weekend. No other Cubs played tonight.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nico is batting 6th, playing short for Mesa. He just struck out swinging in a 6-pitch AB against arguably the best pitching prospect in baseball, Forrest Whitley.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    I imagine the Stanford swing is going away. Last year was Stanford's first year with a new coach after Mark Marquess retired. To the point of Nico's scouting reports, I feel like a lot of the media reports have said they are updating their reports and were too light on him in the past (more power is the biggest note I keep seeing). I think this shows more about the weaknesses of prospect scouting reports in the media and what info they can get rather than a negative about actual MLB scouts. We already saw the gap in info on Roederer as some teams saw him when he was healthy and didn't want to give out their more glowing reports to the media and tip off other teams.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Davell, Mills has one more option year. He’s a rare 4 option guy. I assume Tseng will get taken off the 40-man and might not be back in the organization in 2019.
