2017 Minor League Camp Rosters (Updated 3/28)

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

3/31 MINOR LEAGUE CAMP ROSTERS UPDATE: 

IOWA to TENNESSEE: RHP Stephen Perakslis 1B Yasiel Balaguert, and INF Jason Vosler;
TENNESSEE loaned to YUCATAN (Mexican League): RHP Mario Meza:
TENNESSEE to MYRTLE BEACH: RHP Craig Brooks, Scott Effross, Pedro Araujo, James Norwood, and Jeremy Null, LHP Jordan Minch and Tommy Thorpe, C Tyler Pearson, and 3B Jesse Hodges;
TENNESSEE to SOUTH BEND: C-1B Alberto Mineo;
MYRTLE BEACH to SOUTH BEND: RHP Jared Cheek, John Michael Knighton, Dakota Mekkes, and Tyler Peyton, LHP Marc Huberman, Jose Paulino, and Wyatt Short, 3B Wladimir Galindo, 1B-OF Chris Pieters, and OF D. J. Wilson,   

So Cubs Opening Day minor league rosters are starting to take shape.   

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3/30 MINOR LEAGUE CAMP ROSTERS UPDATE: RHP Andury Acevedo and RHP David Garner were moved down to the Tennessee squad from the Iowa squad prior to Thursday's doubleheader at Riverview Park, and most of the relief pitchers who were originally assigned to the South Bend squad at the start of Minor League Camp have been moved down to Eugene/Mesa (Extended Spring Training). So expect a half-dozen or more relievers to be moved down to the South Bend squad from the Iowa, Tennessee, and/or (especially) Myrtle Beach squads tomorrow or Saturday.   

Also, the Cubs have purchased the contract of 19-year old OF Alonso Gaitan from the Los Toros de Tijuana (Mexican League). Gaitan played for Tijuana against the Cubs at Minor League Camp last week and impressed the Cub brass. I expect one or more Cubs minor leaguers to be "loaned" to Tijuana and/or Yucatan to help alleviate the roster crunch at the end of Minor League Camp.   

In addition, catcher Erick Castillo (presently assigned to the Tennessee squad) is no longer switch-hitting. He is now batting only RH. Castillo is considered one of the best defensive catchers in the Cubs system, and batting only RH going forward might help improve the offensive side of his game.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3/29 MINOR LEAGUE CAMP ROSTERS UPDATE: RHP Juan Carlos Paniagua and RHP Michael Wagner were moved down to the Tennessee squad from the Iowa squad...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3/28 ORIGINAL POST: RHP Jordan Brink, RHP Cole Brocker, RHP Josh Conway, LHP Colton Freeman, RHP Tanner Griggs, RHP Randy McCurry, RHP Zach Rafferty, RHP Alexander Santana, RHP Nick Sarianides, RHP (ex-INF) Ho-Young Son, LHP Kyle Twomey, C Sam Tidaback, INF Munenori Kawasaki, and 1B-OF Jose Paniagua have been released. (RHP Maikel Cleto and RHP Jim Henderson were released earlier).

There will be additional moves made over the next day or two, including roster adjustments at Iowa, Tennessee, Myrtle Beach, South Bend, and Eugene/Mesa (Extended Spring Training)  At present, Iowa is 18 players over the Opening Day roster limit, Tennessee is nine over, Myrtle Beach is eight over, and South Bend is seven under. There is no roster limit at Extended Spring Training.

To help alleviate the minor league roster crunch, one or more players might be loaned to teams in the Mexican League.

AZ PHIL: Any insight on Griggs & Twomey being cut? By the stats line, neither were setting the world on fire, but neither seemed like the weakest link either.

JORGE SOLER: Likely to miss the start of the season with oblique strain. He can't blame the cold on that. Get better dude.

from WSCR... Brian Duensing magically developed back spasms and starts on the DL. 25th roster spot solved. Montgomery only LH in the bullpen. Also confirmed on Roto. Also, Russell's back spasms resolved and he will start taking BP.

It's a shame about Josh Conway. He got snake-bit by the injury bug, especially after that unfortunate groundskeeping screw-up that resulted in his arm injury early on.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
