    I do think he’ll get DFA’d when Addison Russell’s suspension is over and they need a 40-man spot. Alzolay should be close to ready for Iowa’s rotation by then too and Rea should already be ready.

    Sounds like Tseng is at risk for not making the I-Cubs (also, Christopher Morel and Jonathan Soto both homered - one of them off AAAer Colin Rea): https://www.thecubreporter.com/04022019/russell-tseng-action-morel-soto-go-deep-riverview

    https://www.bleachernation.com/2019/04/01/initial-low-a-south-bend-cubs-roster-features-prospects-aplenty-including-quite-an-honor-for-roederer/ Nice review of the South Bend roster from CubsProspects.

    But Yovanny Cruz didn’t. Weird.

    Richan was facing South Bend players but still: Brailyn still hasn’t been stretched out enough and might stay back in Arizona: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03302019/pelicans-pitchers-turn-heat-riverview-park
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Myrtle Beach’s roster is out: Amaya, Ademan, Reynolds, Sepulveda, Herron, Lange and Richan are the big names.

    BA’s 11 hitters who stood out this spring: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/scouting-11-hitters-who-stood-out-this-spring/ 11 pitchers who stood out this spring: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/scouting-11-pitchers-who-stood-out-this-spring/?utm_source=BAPR&utm_medium=email

    Arizona Phil breaks down the likely minor league rotations. Tyson Miller is conspicuously absent from the rotation or the injured starting out in Arizona: https://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/262669#comment-262669 Additionally, from yesterday at the backfields: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03292019/cubs-are-real-power-riverview

    Same place that mentioned Cruz’ uptick in velocity mentioned Albertos was down to 89-91 in 1 inning of work.

    Chris Singleton, the son of a Charleston AME Church shooting victim, was one of 9 Cubs released today: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03242019/cubs-release-nine-minor-league-camp

    Looks like some injuries/setbacks we didn't know of:

    It was admittedly against an amateur Canadian team, but: https://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/262576#comment-262576

    BA did their Cubs review of their IFA signings: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2018-19-international-reviews-chicago-cubs/ The Cubs signed 29 players in calendar year 2018. Ben Badler highlighted the big names: RHP Richard Gallardo - Was 89-93 when he signed but ticked up to 95 at Dominican instructional league. Had nice words for his 3rd pitch, the change. OF Jose Lopez - Shows sound grasp of the strike zone. Still has the big hitch and arm bar but his quick hands and bat speed makes up for it now. SS Rafael Morel - Good bat speed, fast-twitch player/good raw athlete (sounds like Chris...and apparently their dad was a former pro basketball player) LHP Joel Machado - Topping out at 89 OF Yohendrick Pinango - Also a good eye for the strike zone with a patient approach SS Pedro Martinez - Signed in last year's class for low 6-figures. Played in the DSL last year. C Pablo Aliendo, Venezuela - Signed last May so class of 17-18 too. Played in the DSL last year.

    Arizona Phil predicts the outfielders at all four levels: https://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/262547#comment-262547 The catchers: https://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/262548#comment-262548 And the infielders: https://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/262549#comment-262549 He also doesn't think Davis and Roederer will make full season ball. Morel is also a long shot for South Bend, sadly. At least he thinks Hoerner will start at AA.

    https://www.thecubreporter.com/03192019/lester-goes-six-backfields-and-ademan-belts-solo-hr Ademan went 2/3 with a homer and a single. Amaya went 1/2 with a double and a HBP.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    The prediction of no Davis or Roederer at South Bend is surprising. I expect at least one of them to break camp.

    Per Arizona Phil: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03172019/cubs-release-seven-minor-league-camp-while-hoerner-ademan-move-down-level

    UCLA are up to #1 in both BA and D1's polls. The last time they were #1 was when they won the CWS in 2013.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yovanny Cruz in the A rotation. Andy Weber at high-A. Americaan in A ball. Don’t see those aggressive Ademan and Márquez assignments happening.
