    Get him on the 40 man and call him up in September, if the stuff is back. I think it sits at 39, but I could be wrong. If a spot is needed, a guy like Cory Mazzoni can be jettisoned with no harm done. The 40-man is at 39 after Anthony Bass was outrighted but they might have to take Smyly or Hancock off the 60-day DL in September.

    Pitched another perfect inning last night with 2 more Ks. 4.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 Ks. Has his velocity come back? I remember him as a 94-96 guy as a starter coming up through the minors with the Dodgers, and fangraphs has his fastball at 95.3 in 2013 in a couple starts with the Red Sox. Dropped to 93.1 in 2014 and 92.7 in 2015, which is when he last pitched in the bigs. No big injury that I can see anywhere. But then again, why didn't he make an appearance somewhere in the organization until the AZL opened up until July, when he was signed in February or March? Questions for AZPhil, methinks, unless he has already mentioned this.

    Yeah, I saw the list the other day. I don't want to criticize too much because Luke seems like a good guy but it's definitely...something.

    But he can definitely play 2B and possibly corner OF.

    Lately, that's what I've been thinking even when you don't write the wrong name... He got back on track today: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 5 K. https://twitter.com/2080adam/status/1029504585197596672?s=21

    You guys have probably already detailed this, but have the Cubs already spent this, and everything else? Or based on your tracking of the big-ticket spendings, does this $300K plus some other unspent $$ perhaps give the Cubs some discretionary cash to still get some guy(s), whether serrano himself or somebody else? Also, what has been the timing on all of this? I assume BA is reporting it now, but mlb and the Cubs knew about this before July, so that the Cubs had already factored the $300K into signings they have already made? I'm guessing the Cubs knew about this a while ago because Arizona Phil reported it on June 19th. Based on the 5 names and bonuses that have been reported, the Cubs still have $683,500 unspent (this includes the rollover $300k).
