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!

    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.
