i know pete crow-armstrong isn't ready for the bigs or anything, but how much longer they gonna let him embarrass A-ball pitchers in myrtle beach?

they have a self-created logjam in the low minors, so it's kinda inevitable that some guys will linger until there's room at higher levels.

guys like y.pinango and j.nwogu aren't spectacular, but they don't belong in lower A ball level...and they need playing time.

wisdom 4 games in a row with a HR.

c.morel has started 7 games.  3 in CF, 2 at 3rd, 1 at 2nd, 1 at SS

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/24/2022 - 05:24 pm

may 24th...

our leadoff hitter has a .315 ob% and the #2 hitter is sporting a solid .262 ob%

121 games to go.

season ends with 6 in a row vs CIN.  i dunno if anything in the dumpster will be left to keep a flame going.  sad thing is by that point it may actually be better quality baseball.

pre-game lineup shakeup...yan gomes scratched (left oblique tightness) and lineup rearranged.

morel leading off, ortega moves to hitting 2nd, and schwindel 5th

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/24/2022 - 05:47 pm

small sample size blah blah etc...

watching morel is like flashing back to 2016-era cubs and their joy + aggression on the field.  he would have fit in well with that cubs era.

nice.

i was looking forward to the hoerner/madrigal "hoes mad" middle IF.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/24/2022 - 05:31 pm

this reds team is so hopelessly terrible they have mahle out there in the 5th with 100+ pitches, 6 runs given up, and no outs yet.

...and he's done with 103 pitches, leaving with 0 outs and men on 1st/2nd

Submitted by Cubster on Thu, 05/26/2022 - 05:01 pm

Sigh. 

Fixed: "nice first half of an inning"

That is all.

    Seems like Jed was trying to corner the market on mediocre infielders with last names starting with "M" in acquiring Madrigal, Mastroboney and Zach McKinstry.  

     

    At least he hasn't given any of them a Bote-esque extension.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.
