Today’s BA mock has the Cubs picking Stetson RHP Logan Gilbert.

This isn’t a rumor. I’m just tossing this in here since the Cubs will probably need to acquire some relievers by the deadline as Joe is trying to kill his current crop. [tweet] [/tweet]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Clifton, Swarmer and Abbott all get bumped up a level if Swarmer is healthy.

Yikes. Have to imagine that's probably it for him as a starter in 2018. His career high IP is 111.1 so he might be done as a starter forever.

Daury Torrez got promoted to AAA.

Holy horsefeathers, JR.

Third straight day pitching for their closer. Maybe he shouldn’t have pitched down 4 two days ago but Hurdle was too busy getting Contreras HBP that day.

Wow, get fucked, Felipe Vazquez.

Cory Abbott: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K

Add a 3-run double to Amaya’s night.

Bailey Clark's final line: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K on 58 pitches. 32/14 K/BB in 27.2 innings at high-A.

Bailey Clark thus far - 4 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K on 42 pitches. He went 58 pitches last time so I think he conceivably get up to 70 today. Jhonny Pereda and Wladimir Galindo hit back-to-back doubles for Myrtle Beach's run.

Tyler Peyton has had a velocity spike this year:

Fernando Kelli got a $60k bonus in January 2016 according to the BA 2017 DSL Top 20 Prospects list.

Two Cubs made BA’s 2017 DSL top 20 prospects - Fernando Kelli and Christopher Morel. The list was in alphabetical order. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/top-20-dominican-summer-league-prospects-2018/

Jonathan Mayo has the Cubs taking Anthony Seigler in today’s mock draft. https://www.mlb.com/news/mock-draft-jonathan-mayo-predicts-1st-round/c-279050910

Was he the one known for going like 0-4 with 4 Ks in his first game at every new level or was that Javy? That was Kris. Though he struck out 5 times in his Boise debut.
