"The Dodgers have officially named Kenta Maeda their NLCS Game 1 starter against the Cubs." also, some lol cardinals news... "Zach Duke underwent Tommy John surgery and also had his flexor muscle repaired last week." that one came outta nowhere...but hey, no z.duke next season for STL. neat.

Phil, now that instructs are completed, what players (especially pitchers) made the biggest impression on you?

AZBOBBOP: RHSP Thomas Hatch (Cubs 2016 3rd round draft pick - Oklahoma State) looks legit. He was making his pro debut at Instructs (he did not pitch in the minor leagues after signing in July) and he was so impressive that he was moved-up from Basic Instructs to Advaned Instructs last week. He is a polished college arm who features a 91-94 MPH fastball with sinking action, a breaking ball that he can throw for strikes, and a decent change-up. While I would think that he will be assigned to the Myrtle Beach squad at Minor League Camp next March, he likely will be in the South Bend starting rotation on Opening Day. He could move fast through the pipeline. Hatch and RHP Bailey Clark (who returned to school after the season to finish his degree and did not attend Instructs) are the two best Cubs SP prospects from this June's draft, and both are MLB prospects. 

RHRP Dakota Mekkes (2016 Cubs 10th round draft pick - Michigan State) was the most-impressive reliever at Instructs. Although he is 6'5 250+, he doesn't throw particulary hard (fastball tops out at 93) but his delivery is deceptive, and his slider and change-up are both swing & miss pitches.

17-year old lanky 6'4+ LHSP Brailyn Marquez was another impressive pitcher at Instructs. Although his command came & went, he shows a 89-91 MPH fastball with sinking action and solid curve. While he is still a bit of a project, I wouldn't be surprised if he is the ace of the AZL Cubs starting rotation in 2017. He reminds me of Bryan Hudson.  

LHRP Wyatt Short (Ole Miss) and RHRP Chad Hockin (Cal-State Fullerton) were college closers selected by the Cubs in this past June's draft, and both appear to be ready to move fast through the system. Short is actually short (5'8) but he works fast, has a rubber arm, and throws strikes with a 90 MPH fastball, curve, and change-up. Hockin is the grandson of Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and the brother of Indians minor league RHP Grant Hockin. He combines a 95 MPH fastball with a plus-slider, and he is an athletic defender (he was a two-way player in HS).

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
