Hudson Continues to Thrive in the Arizona Sun

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

LHSP Bryan Hudson hurled five innings of one-hit shutout ball with six strikeouts, Jacob Hannemann drove-in three runs with a squeeze-bunt and a two-run line-drive single, and Chris Dominguez doubled twice and scored two runs, helping the Cubs whitewash the Diamondbacks 6-0 on Quail Field, and Rafael Mejia belted a three-run HR, Aramis Ademan singled, tripled, and scored a run, and six pitchers combined to toss a five-hitter, as the Cubs edged the Diamondbacks 3-2 on Whirlwind Field, in Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader action Tuesday morning at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ. 

Both games were pre-planned as seven-inning affairs. 

Bryan Hudson has thrown eleven innings over the course of his first two Cactus League Extended Spring Training starts, allowing no runs on three hits and one walk, with twelve strikeouts and a 15/3 GO/AO. 

Eloy Jimenez (on Myrtle Beach 7-day DL - right shoulder) was a DH in the game on Whirlwind Field, going 1-5 (1B, P-6, F-8, 6-3, K) while batting once in each of the first five innings.

HAGSAG: Unlike a lot of the players that come through here, Aramis Ademan is a legit shortstop. He will not be moved to another position.

He is an athletic, fluid defender with a strong arm, and he can hit, too. I saw him hit a HR onto the south bank of the Red Mountain Freeway last year at Extended Spring Training, and while that might not be typical for him (he really is more of a slashing-type hitter), it does show that he can turn on a pitch and give it a ride when the opportunity presents itself.

Areman is the real deal.

I think Ademan is still really young, so if he's still gotta work his way all the way through the Cubs American minor league system, is he the type of guy who may end up replacing Addison Russell around 2021, that is if Russell can't be signed long term? Obviously that's a long way out to project, but just wondering if we have any other SS in our system with more talent?

LRB: It would have been Gleyber Torres before the Chapman trade, but I would say as things stand right now and given it's a long ways off and a lot can happen in the meantime, Aramis Ademan would now probably be the most-likely eventual replacement for Addison Russell - IF - Russell walks after 2021 - AND - the Cubs don't decide to move Javy Baez back to SS. (I suspect Baez would be more-amenable to a long-term Castro or Rizzo-like contract extension than a Boras client like Russell would be, and so Baez actually could end up replacing Russell at SS in 2022).

    Phil,

    Any thoughts/details on Carico and/or JP Wheat?

    MIL loses!

    cubs finally get to sole control of 1st place in the central.

  • crunch (view)

    MIL out here stealing 3rd with 1 out and down by 1 in the bottom 9th.

    it worked.  this MIL team is annoyingly fun to watch so far this year...

  • crunch (view)

    it took him 24 pitches, 2 walks, 2 Ks...but he got it done.  woo.

    Full pack!

    neris still doesn't have his command/control...

    i don't expect it to dog him all season, much like i don't expect alzolay to be a HR machine.

    i'll take alzolay over neris to close out a game, though...over leiter, too.

  • crunch (view)

    MOREL HR!  his first homer in like, 3 years or something...or feels like it.

    top of the 9th, 2 run shot off f'n diaz to break the tie.

  • crunch (view)

    swanson breaks it up in the 8th with a single.

  • crunch (view)

    1h and 6 minutes to get through 6 innings.

    also, the cubs are getting no-hit.  neat.

    Prior to Monday's game at Salt River Fields, RHSP Yenrri Rojas threw a one inning (30 pitches) "live" BP on Field #1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, in preparation for what is expected to be his start on ACL Opening Day this coming Saturday morning at ACL Angels. (Although he might not be the best Cubs pitching prospect in Mesa, Y. Rojas has by far been the Cubs most effective pitcher at Extended Spring Training). 

    The other ACL Cubs pitchers who have been stretched out as SP at Extended Spring Training are RHP Luis Martinez-Gomez, RHP Freilyn Silverio, RHP Wilme Mora, and LHP Miguel Cruz (2023 DSL). Naz Mule figures to eventually be a SP, but he is not stretched out like the other five. .  

    The ACL Cubs bullpen looks to be LHP Branden Noriega, RHP Scarlyn Lebron, RHP Luis A. Reyes, RHP Gabriel Agrazal, and RHP Fraiman Marte (2023 DSL), and LHP Wilson Cunningham will report to the ACL Cubs when he finishes the Spring Term at the University of Chicago.  

    Both RHP Eligio Paredes and RHP Mason McGwire are on the Myrtle Beach Development List, so it is unclear right now if they will be assigned to the ACL Cubs or be reinstated at Myrtle Beach. 

    RHP Mat Peters has been throwing regularly in Cactus League Extended Spring Training games, but he received a PED suspension this past January that will cover the entire 2024 ACL season, so once the ACL season starts on Saturday, the earliest he can return to the mound will be at AZ Instructs (post-ACL) in August.  

    Among the rehab pitchers currently at Cubs Extended Spring Training, the ones who would appear to be closest to seeing game action are RHP Jaxon Wiggins, RHP Ethan Roberts, RHP Sam Thoresen, RHP Ben Leeper, and RHP JP Wheat. (Wiggins and Roberts threw "live" BP last week, and the others have been throwing bullpen sides on a regular basis once or twice a week).
