Comments

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?

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?

In reply to by Cubster

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!

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).

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1. 

  • crunch (view)

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

  • Eric S (view)

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
