    Yesterday in the backfields: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03172019/cubs-spend-saturday-fitch-park Andy Weber continues his big spring, and is giving himself a chance to start the year at Myrtle Beach. The most recent big league camp cuts triggered more minor league re-assignments. The most notable, per Arizona Phil: Keegan Thompson back to Tennessee, Bryan Hudson & Erich Uelman to Myrtle Beach and Alexander Guerra to South Bend. Also, Adbert Alzolay moves to the rehab throwing program.

    Oh yeah: 4. Jose Albertos: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 2/1 GO/AO, 10 pitches (8 strikes) https://www.thecubreporter.com/03162019/cubs-use-slaughter-rule-tie-snappers-riverview Yovanny Cruz had a good line too.

    Florencio Serrano will sign with the Rangers on March 26th:

    Yovanny in South Bend after 1 Eugene start would be fantastic. If Riley Thompson makes the SB rotation, that rotation probably has the three most exciting full season starters in the farm system.

    Generally speaking, the guys who are throwing 2 innings this early are being groomed to start:

    I tried to couch it with the “generally speaking” but, yeah, you guys are right.

    Arizona Phil has the first minor league camp rosters available: https://www.thecubreporter.com/03072019/2019-cubs-minor-league-camp-rosters Generally speaking, most of these guys will actually end up starting the year one level lower as guys in big league camp get sent down (especially pitchers and catchers). Despite that, it's always a pretty interesting list. Guys who surprised me with how high they are right now are: Luke Haggerty, Miguel Amaya and Aramis Ademan (Iowa) and Edmond Americaan, DJ Artis, Brennen Davis, Jimmy Herron, Fernando Kelli and Jonathan Sierra (Tennessee)

    This looks good for the players: Cubs will probably lose Serrano now (probably to the Orioles).

    After college baseball's opening week, it looks like West Virginia RHP Alek Manoah and Elon RHP George Kirby might be the biggest risers in this year's draft: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/our-week-1-college-scouting-notes/

    Eric Longenhagen and Kiley McDaniel came up with a list of players they expect to make the 2020 Top 100 list. When they did this exercise before the 2018 season, they went 18 for 63. One Cub made the list - Cole Roederer in the Under the Advanced Young Bats with Defensive Value section. I was surprised Brailyn Marquez didn't make the Teenage Pitchers section. Also, they listed potential high-leverage relievers who might debut this year and while they might not ever be top 100 prospects, they will have a sizable impact on their team. Dakota Mekkes made this Potentially Dominant Relievers list. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/picks-to-click-who-we-expect-to-make-the-2020-top-100/

    Man, I didn’t even bother ordering the handbook this year and just realized I hadn’t. BA has really slipped.

    Diamondbacks 2018 first round pick Matt McClain is playing center this year for UCLA and already batting fifth behind potential 2019 first rounders Chase Strumpf and Michael Toglia. Had the go-ahead bases loaded BB last night on an impressive 9-pitch PA:

    Indeed. They already do well with the lesser heralded guys who suddenly are throwing 100, now they're getting in on the top prospect in the last half decade types.

    Kevin Made is a Dominican SS with a wiry, athletic frame. Has shown good ability to hit in games despite being skinny and is expected to get a bonus that surpasses $1 million. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoW7xo_Hflb/?utm_source=ig_embed Ben Badler also said the 2019 class is very talented and the market will be highly competitive because every team besides Atlanta is out of the penalty box.
