    Kepley was 1/2, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 1 K...5 BB and 4 HBP in 26 PA at Myrtle Beach. Southisene with an XBH (a double)! The Iso is up to .026.

    Heard the velocity was down a little from before he got hurt last year.

    Juan Cabada: 3/4, 3 singles - .882 OPS, ~140 wRC+. Looking back, neither Ballesteros or Rojas had an OPS over .800 in their age 17 season in the DSL and both had a lower wRC+.

    Alzolay signed in 2013 (Torres and Jiménez class). Amaya, Assad, Christopher Morel and Paredes were in the 2015 class. Admittedly the Cubs severely capped some of their IFA classes by going over budget in 2013 and 2015, forcing them to not make any big signings in 2014, 2016 or 2017.

    Miguel Amaya and/or Javier Assad? (Assuming we aren't counting Paredes, Torres or Jiménez for this exercise)

    The Cubs have to flex their financial muscle in the majors because that's their only advantage (an admittedly big one) in division. ** Admittedly the Cardinals were able to get more pool space from the draft lottery this year. The Brewers traded away a competitive balance pick or else would have had even more bonus space.

    Their Latin American program has really come on the last couple of years (possibly the best in baseball since 2020-21). The capper is that none of Made ($950k), Peña ($800k) nor Quero ($200k) got a 7-figure bonus (and even Chourio only got $1.8 million, which would be outside the top 15 bonuses his IFA year).

    I don't see that being feasible - he's universally a top 25 prospect.

    Yeah, they've traded away Ferris, Johnson and Gallagher but I think they really have shied away from the higher ceiling early draft picks that seemed so interesting earlier under Kantrovitz (Gray, Horton, Ferris, Mulé, Wiggins). Sure, some have stagnated or busted but with pitcher attrition, you need more swings to get hit.

    It's not quite a reverse Busch but Caissie for Snelling.

    Based on what happened in the second half of 2023, it's pretty safe to say Stroman will never pitch in this org again.
