AZL Angels Rally to Edge AZL Cubs at Sloan Park

Jahmal Jones crushed a three-run HR and Chad Hinshaw drilled an RBI double and a single, reached base on an HBP, and scored a run, as the AZL Angels rallied for a run in the 7th and a run in the 8th to edge the AZL Cubs 5-4 in Arizona League action last night at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.  

Jose Paniagua belted an RBI double and a single and scored two runs and Michael Foster (Cubs 2015 16th round draft pick - Northeastern U.) singled twice and reached base on an HBP for the Cubs in a losing cause. Foster also turned-in the defensive play of the game, a diving catch in short right-field in the top of the 4th inning.

2B Angelo Amendolare (Cubs 2015 27th round draft pick - Jacksonville U.) has been sent to the AZL Cubs from AAA Iowa, where he provided some bench depth for the I-Cubs for the past couple of weeks after four Iowa position players (Andreoli, Chambers, Dent, and Valaika) found their way to the DL within a seven-day period in early July. Amendolare is a mature, polished college senior with experience in the Cape Cod League who was one of the Top 50 hitters in NCAA D-1 in 2015. He went 0-4 in his AZL Cub debut Monday night. 

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

AZL CUBS LINEUP:
1. Robert Garcia, CF: 1-5 (F-7, E-1, F-8, K, 1B, R)
2. Carlos Sepulveda, SS: 2-4 (1B, 1-3 SH, F-8, 1B, 6-3 DP)
3. Angelo Amendolare, 2B: 0-4 (L-9, 5-3, F-8, 5-3, RBI)
4. Jose Paniagua, 1B: 2-4 (4-3, 2B, 1B, K, 2 R, RBI)
5. Marcus Mastrobuoni, DH: 1-4 (6-3, 1B, K, 5-3, RBI)
6. Michael Foster, RF: 2-3 (1B, 4-3, 1B, HBP)
7. Yohan Matos, C: 0-3 (HBP, 5-3, 6-4 FC, 3-U, SB)
8. Carlos Jimenez, 3B: 1-4 (5-3, 2-U, 6-3, 1B)
9. Donnie Cimino, LF: 1-4 (1B, K, L-4, K, R)

Who the hell is Jesse Rogers? If Jacob Rogers is new to you, you must not read Midwest League box scores. Nice lefty-hitting slugging first baseman. Sixteen homers at Kane County last year, eleven this year at MB. .381 OBP in the minors. Rising slowly in the minors because he's just what the Cubs don't need. Just noticed something interesting about him: drafted by the Cubs out of junior college in 2010, because he went to Dunedin H.S., Hendry's alma mater. Then drafted in 2012 by the Cubs, because they liked him. I had a favorable impression of him when I saw a Myrtle Beach game (in Virginia) earlier this summer. If Justin Bour can make the majors, so can Rogers.

    Seems like Jed was trying to corner the market on mediocre infielders with last names starting with "M" in acquiring Madrigal, Mastroboney and Zach McKinstry.  

     

    At least he hasn't given any of them a Bote-esque extension.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?

    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.

    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.

    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.
