    NWL Top 20 Prospects: 3. Brailyn Márquez, LHP - Brailyn was only behind Joey Bart and Hans Crouse and ahead of prospects like Xavier Edwards and Julio Pablo Martínez. 8. Nelson Velázquez, OF

    Atlanta hasn’t scored in 2 games and now gets Walker Buehler in Game 3.

    The Mesas had their workout today: https://www.mlb.com/news/mesa-brothers-hold-showcase-impress-scouts/c-297190688?tid=151437456 Apparently Marc Anthony was there.

    Richard Gallardo Unless he gets assigned to South bend, I don't think he'll be in the conversation for number one in the system until the following year. If someone outside of full season ball is #1, that probably means that a lot has gone wrong with the other guys. Yes, it would take an aggressive and unlikely assignment. He doesn’t have to start at full season, just end there for a few months to be rated very highly considering his pedigree.

    Other names I'm hoping can be part of that conversation (for good reasons) Brennan Davis (stays healthy, performs with an aggressive assignment at SB) Nelson Velazquez (improves contact while maintaining or growing power) Aramis Ademan (bounces back in big way, makes it to Tenn as a 20 year old) Brailyn Marquez (stays healthy for full year, perhaps gains another tick and refines offspeed) Brendon Little (uh, does a lot better) Richard Gallardo

    Next Tuesday. Mesa plays at 6:35 p.m. MST.

    I'm thinking more a guy who will be able to play three straight games next season and someone with Dexter-like speed, at least. So....Harper? Or Kris.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    We have one. He had the biggest go-ahead hit in Cubs history.

    Also re: the Dodgers being investigated by the FBI. I'm never not going to stop laughing at the Dodgers rating their employees on how big a criminal each is.

    Eloy and Torres are Cuban, aren’t they? And beautiful Jorge Eloy is Dominican and Torres is Venezuelan. Close enough to Cuba.

    We need a guy who can put the bat on the ball in clutch situations (to move runners over, to hit a sacrifice fly, etc.). I'm tired of watching batter after batter swing for the fences and then strike out with men in scoring position. We have too many all-or-nothing hitters. You should have watched the 2018 season then if you didn't want guys swinging for the fences.

    Amaya ends the season as the 87th ranked prospect by MLB.com.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Miguel Amaya made the BA top 20 MWL prospects at 12. He’s the first Cub to make a league list so far (they’ve gone through the PCL, SL and CL too so far):

    With Soto, the Nationals are about as well-set to lose a Bryce Harper in his prime as any team could possibly be. Just wild. Sounds like Atlanta is going to be a contender for Bryce too.

    No Cubs in the Carolina League Top 20:

    No Cubs in the BA PCL or SL Top 20 prospects. Some Cubs guys in the SL chat: Tim (Albany): What is the upside of Zack Short? Matt Eddy: Tennessee SS Zack Short ranks as the best defensive SS in the SL and had one of the strongest infield arms. He also clubbed 17 HR and drew 82 walks. I expected those attributes to play better with managers and scouts, but they uniformly expressed skepticism that Short's straight uphill swing plane would play against better pitchers. Still, he has attributes that could make him a utility type of infielder. Navin (Pasadena, CA): Were any Cubs close to the top 20? I’d imagine Zack Short, Trent Giambrone and Keegan Thompson were the best regarded Smokies last year. Matt Eddy: Short was the clubhouse leader. The other Smokies to receive notice were 3B Jason Vosler (who was repeating the league) and 23-year-old Cuban OF Eddy Martinez. Martinez did not produce results, obviously, but managers liked his bat speed, body and hitting actions.

    Arizona Phil has a few other signings: IF Ronny Simon, 18, Dominican Republic RHP Gabriel Jaramillo, 19, Venezuela Yonder Montero, RHP, 18, Dominican Republic No bonus info.

    Lot of time left for the best QB between these two teams.
