Michael McAvene, Koen Moreno, Tanner Jesson-Dalton, Erian Rodriguez, Alberto Sojo, and Andricson Salvador threw early-morning bullpens today, so they may be getting close to being EXST game-ready or at least ready to throw "live": BP. Ben Hecht threw "live" BP earlier this week.

The ACL season starts on June 6th, and with the MLB draft being held six weeks - AFTER - the start of the ACL season instead of a week or two - BEFORE - the start of the ACL (formerly AZL) season as used to be the case, what you see in EXST right now - IS - the 2022 ACL Cubs. So once the ACL season starts, don't expect to see any ACL Cubs reinforcements for at least six weeks (probably more like two months).

PHIL: Thank you so much for the velocities you listed yesterday, notes taken. Dom Hambley was not among them as that list was mostly about 2021 DSL arms. I see Hambley pitched today. Can you relay anything on how his stuff looks? Velocity, pitch mix, etc.?

Thanks!

K-DUB: Dominic Hambley was FB 90-93 and CV 79-81 on Saturday, and the CV was his best pitch. FB is just OK, nothing special. The FB is used to set-up his CV.  

Last October at Instructs his FB velo was down to 85-87, but his CV was just as good as it is now. What was causing the alarmingly low FB velo last FalI I do not know, but whatever it was has apparently been fixed.

PHIL: Also, any word on the status of Benjamin Rodriguez? (I can't find him on the depth chart. I might've missed him, so many names to keep track of...) Thank you!

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
