Cubs Youngsters Meet Veteran MLB RHP Kip Wells at Diablo Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Ryan Dalton smacked a two-out two-run double to cap a three-run 6th, and veteran RHP Kip Wells and three relievers combined to throw a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts, as the Angels topped the Cubs 4-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this afternoon at Diablo Park Field #7 in Tempe, AZ.

The Angels signed Wells last Friday, and this was his first game outing of any kind in 2013. He allowed one unearned run, a single and a walk, with four strikeouts, in his two innings of work  

Two more prospects who recently arrived from the Cubs Dominican Academy made their U. S. debut today, as 17-year old switch-hitting SS Frandy de la Rosa (signed as a 16-year old last July 2nd for a $700K bonus) and 20-year old switch-hitting 2B Bryant Flete (296/419/419 for DSL Cubs #2 in 2012) saw action in the game. Flete will probably be the starting 2B for the AZL Cubs in 2013, and de la Rosa will likely spend Extended Spring Training battling Francisco Sanchez for the AZL Cubs starting SS job.

Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):

CUBS LINEUP:
1a. Shawon Dunston Jr, CF: 1-3 (1B, F-9, 6-3, R, SB)
1b. Bryant Flete, 2B: 0-1 (4-3)
2a. Danny Lockhart, 2B: 0-2 (K, F-8)
2b. Rashad Crawford, CF: 0-2 (4-3, K)
3. Reggie Golden, DH #1: 0-2 (K, L-9, BB, SB)
4. Jacob Rogers, 1B: 0-2 (E-6, K, BB)
5. Yasiel Balaguert, RF-DH: 1-3 (F-9, 1B, 6-4 FC)
6. Xavier Batista, DH-RF: 0-3 (K, K, K)  
7a. Carlos Penalver, SS: 0-1 (BB, P-6)
7b. Frandy de la Rosa, SS: 0-1 (K)
8a. Trevor Gretzky, LF: 0-2 (K, F-8)
8b. Jeffrey Baez, LF: 0-0 (BB)
9a. Lance Rymel, C: 0-2 (K, 5-3)
9b. Justin Marra, C: 0-1 (K)
10. Luis Acosta, 3B: 0-3 (K, K, K)

CUBS PITCHERS:
1. Dillon Maples: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 3 K, 37 pitches (22 strikes), 2/0 GO/FO
2. Erick Leal: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 35 pitches (27 strikes), 3/2 GO/FO

5. Matt Iannazzo: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 12 pitches (10 strikes)

I might have mentioned this before, but Erick Leal (one of two Venezuelan pitchers acquired by the Cubs from the Diamondbacks for Tony Campana) has an unusual stretch position. He covers his face with his glove and cocks his left arm horizontal to the ground with his elbow facing directly at the hitter, and all you can see are his eyes... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes... glaring back at the hitter... Like the Phantom of the Opera about to reveal his identity.

I can't wait for the Bears season to start, so that when Cutler gets hurt I can get pumped about seeing some of the new kids in spring training.

From the twitter feed: Wild scene here in Toledo as Felix Pie has to be restrained from going into stands. Brandon Inge plays peacemaker and gives fans baseballs

so much for the cubs not inviting "those that don't belong" to sing the 7th...for the second time in a week... john c mcginley murdered the song...well, badly wounded it...he only messed up 3-4 random words rather than flubbing entire lines. not bad for a guy from NYC who's a detroit redwings fan, i guess.

Game's not over yet, but, through 12 games and 7 innings: Cubs #2 hitter has zero walks. Cubs clean-up hitter has zero RBIs. What we need here is a Jumbotron.

ground out, fly out, single, walk, single, double, HBP...bases loaded, down by 2...and it's up to d.barney.

At least Kameron Loe didn't give up a HR tonight. So I guess we've got that going for us.

Must be looking for his retirement check Sullivan tweets Big Z at Wrigley "saying hi" to everyone.

You would think the Cubs would be all over getting Julio Borbon to replace the steaming pile of crap that is Sappelt.

And just a waiver refresher...

The Cubs have #2 priority for claims off Outright, Optional, and Release waivers through the 30th day of the 2013 MLB regular season. (Houston is #1). Then beginning with the waiver period that commences on the 31st day of the MLB regular season (April 30th), the standings from the day the 47-hour waiver claiming period ends for a particular player are used to determine waiver claim priority.  

Also, waiver claim priority for Outright, Optional, and Release waivers is ALWAYS just like draft priority, in that there is no distinction made between the American League and the National League. So if Julio Borbon were to be placed on Outright Assignment Waivers, the only team that has waiver claim priority over the Cubs would be Houston. It doesn't matter that Borbon was placed on waivers by an American League team (Texas) and the Cubs are in the National League. The Cubs are still #2 behind Houston (at least until April 30th).

The only type of waivers where a player has to be "waived out of his own league" (no club from his own league made a claim) before a club from the other league can be awarded a claim are Trade Assignment Waivers, which are required to trade any player on an MLB 40-man roster after the July 31st non-waiver trade deadline up through the conclusion of the MLB regular season.

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.
