AZ Phi: any comments on the Extended Spring Training manager/coaches? I'm not familiar with any of them. Are any of them holdovers from pre-Epstein era?

Submitted by Cubster on Sun, 04/20/2014 - 04:41 am

AZ Phil: I am not familiar with any of the manager/coaches at EST. Are they all new to the organization and is anyone a holdover from before Theo/Ged/McLeod took over?

CUBSTER:

Jesus Feliciano is the new hitting & outfield coach at Boise (replacing Bill Buckner, who retired prior to the start of Minor League Camp). Feliciano was a minor league OF for many seasons and with a number of different organizations (was a player-coach in the Mexican League last season).

Brian Lawrence (ex MLB RHP with SD and NYM) is the new pitching coach at Boise (was previously a minor league pitching coach with SD).

Guillermo Martinez is the infield & baserunning and assistant hitting coach at Boise (was previously a minor league hitting coach with TOR).

Jimmy Gonzalez is te new manager at AZL Cubs (he was the AZL Cubs infield & baserunning and assistant hitting coach last season).

Anderson Tavares is the pitching coach at AZL Cubs (same as last year - long-time Cubs minor league RHP & then a pitching coach with DSL Cubs for several seasons after that).

Ricardo Medina is the hitting coach at AZL Cubs (same as last year - long tiime Cubs minor league 1B & then a hitting coach for several seasons with AZL Cubs, Boise, and Peoria).

Osmin Melindes is the infield & baserunning and assistant hitting coach at AZL Cubs (he was VSL Cubs manager last year, and previously was Director of the Pirates Venezuelan Academy for several years).

Rick Tronerud is the Rehab Pitching Coach. He works with injured pitchers who are assigned to the Cubs Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park. He had a lengthy career as a minor league RHP in the Oakland A's organization (broke-in with Chet Lemon and Claudell Washington in the Northwest League back when actor Kurt Russell was playing 2B with the Angels NWL affiliate there), and then he was an A's minor league pitching coach for about 15 years, and after that he joined the Cubs and he has been a Cubs minor league pitching coach at various levels (including AAA Iowa, but mostly AZL Cubs) for almost 20 years.  

Boise manager Gary Van Tol was at Riverview Park for a while, but he also is a scout for the Cubs, so he is not at EXST at this time (he lives in Boise).

Hi Arizona Phil, What happened to Frandy de la Rosa who was also in the same scary car accident as Kevin Encarnacion? Thanks!

Submitted by Arizona Phil on Mon, 04/21/2014 - 04:54 am

RAISIN: As far as I know, Frandy de la Rosa is presently back at the Cubs Dominican Academy. There may be some legal issues pending related to the off-seson car crash and/or the Cubs want him to play in the DSL this season. 

CUBS LATIN AMERICAN AFFILIATES   

LATIN AMERICAN FIELD COORDINATOR:
Carmelo Martinez

NOTE: Latin American Cubs minor leaguers who do not attend Minor League Camp in Arizona have their Spring Training at the Cubs Dominican Academy beginning in April. Players who have Spring Training at the Dominican Academy are eventually assigned to one of the two Cubs Latin American affiliates (DSL Cubs or VSL Cubs) when they commence league play in May (VSL Cubs on May 12th and DSL Cubs on May 31st).

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I wanted Almonte gone last week, but that was before Merryweather went down and Little got demoted. Almonte in his last 5 appearances has gone 4.1 IP with no ER or Runs. NO hits, 3 BBs and 8 SO. He did hit 96 with his 2S FB in AZ on Tues.
    I don't see Jed waiving him when we have injuries all over and guys with options that can be sent down.
    I probably won't like the move Jed makes, but he can't play the "let's hope no one wants his 1.7mil remaining deal and we can hide him in Iowa" card.
    That's why I think the current Bullpen stays as is and Wicks goes to Iowa.
    I don't like that, but that's the fix I see.
    We'll find out soon enough!!!
