    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.

    Lot of time left for the best QB between these two teams.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Phew?

    Chase Daniel isn’t good either.

    Mitch Trubisky is what 17 Seconds thinks the Cubs are.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    And good command. It’s probably a #3-4 starter profile. Obviously health is a concern going forward since he lost a season to injury.

    The signing itself was fine, IMO, but they REALLY dropped the ball by acting like they only needed to prop up the bullpen in-season with the likes of horsefeathering Kintzler. Yep. Morrow was the best option considering the finances of staying under the luxury tax. They should've been more aggressive at the deadline.

    Eugene went 31-45 in the regular season, had the worst record in the NWL, never won more than 2 games in a row during the regular season...and then swept the playoffs 5-0.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Never mind. Eugene wins the championship on a walk-off balk. Classic short-season minor league baseball.

    Andy Weber just walked with the bases loaded on a 3-2 count with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game at 2-2. Nelson Velazquez is now up, trying to walk off the NWL Championship.
