AZ Phil, I have been reading past international reviews and came upon a promising quote about Abraham Rodriguez from 2016. Rodriguez didn't play in 2017. Have you heard why? Also, have you noticed him this spring?

VIDEO: OF-1B Abraham Rodriguez is a "bat-first" guy (he is a train-wreck in the outfield) who consistently drills hard-contact line-drives foul-line-to-foul-line.

He missed the 2017 season after undergoing surgery for a torn labrum in his left (throwing) shoulder, but he is starting to get some lift in his swing and could become a very interesting hitting prospect later this season (probably in the AZL, but maybe at Eugene).

Hi AZ Phil,

Do you know what injury Erling Moreno is rehabbing from? Seemed like he was healthy early on in the spring based on your updates. Thank you!

RAISIN: I don't know what Moreno's injury is. While he's on the Myrtle Beach DL, he's not in the "Rehab Throwing Program" and he throws bullpen side-sessions, but at the same time he hasn't pitched in any games yet. Stay tuned for further info.

HAGSAG: I don't know where Chris Coghlan is at this time, but he has not been on the field in Mesa for almost two weeks. It's possible that he has an injury that precludes him from taking the field even for limited activities, or maybe he returned home to contemplate his future, or he might have physically joined the Iowa Cubs sometime over the past couple of weeks but has not yet been activated.

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Yeah it is.....sorry......closers don't throw 89mph

    It would be unique for sure.

    But CP can't be HR susceptible

    That's what Alzolay has right now and that's what Kyle has no matter the situation.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Supposedly Happ said on a radio show he's good to go

    I hadn't read that anywhere from the usual accounts, so this could be off.

    If true, Canario goes down.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Hmmm. Maybe my idea of transitioning Hendricks into a closer role isn’t so crazy.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mervis and Wesneski getting promoted aaccording to Tommy Birch from Des Moines Register.

    So Happ to the IL

    Maybe Hendricks to IL ????

    Mervis/Cooper are DH platoon

    Wisdom, Canario, Tauchman share LF/RF

    I wonder if Busch has ever played LF?

    I don't believe he has

    “I respect his track record of what he’s accomplished,” Counsell said on Sunday morning. “And you go through these. He’s gone through -- maybe not this particular stretch -- but stretches where you’re not pitching the way you want to and struggling. And you figure it out.” -- Counsell on Hendricks

    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

    i respect his track record of no longer being in the rotation.  in 2016 he threw 2 innings out of the pen, his only work out of the pen.  the cubs won the world series that year.  let's repeat that magic.  the formula is obvious.  stats don't lie.  etc etc whatever...

    small sample size and all, but how about this craziness...

    "Entering Sunday, Hendricks had allowed an .843 OPS against hitters in their initial plate appearance, followed by a 1.056 OPS in a second meeting and a 2.449 OPS when seeing batters for a third time."

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

  • crunch (view)

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.
