Soler Power: Cubs Minor League Thread v2

[dabynsky]

This is your fault.

What he just struck out?

 

[Rice Cube]

The pitcher actually struck out the side :lol:

 

[dabynsky]

Okay my bad...

 

[Rice Cube]

Michael Bowden did not suck.

 

[Rice Cube]

Two more K's for BJax. Ick.

Knuckleballer Joe Zeller is getting his third start for Peoria. He hasn't given up a run yet through four innings.

 

[dabynsky]

Joe Zeller has a no hitter through six innings. The only Dayton baserunners came on an error and a HBP.

 

[dabynsky]

Apparently McNutt has been moved into the TN bullpen a couple of days. He is coming in as a reliever for the first time this season I believe. Hopefully he can have an even more Jay Jackson like transformation out of the pen.

 

[dabynsky]

McNutt works a 1-2-3 inning in relief with 2 Ks. Jay Jackson part deux?

 

[dabynsky]

Another tidbit about McNutt in the bullpen is that apparently he is capable of hitting 98 while throwing out of the pen.

Watch the video at 1:30 there is Javier Baez defensive sighting. Who said he is going to have to move off of SS?

Wow, nice play there! Good to see that. It will be nice to have a difficult choice of a plus-fielding SS in Castro once he fully puts it all together, and a plus-fielding Baez. Also, I've read and heard nothing but positives regarding DeVoss' fielding. Note that in the play... Had Baez not gotten to the ball... DeVoss was half a step of getting to it. He'd have to have an amazing SS-type arm to get the runner as his momentum was taking him away from 1B, but he was there to make the play too.

I get a bit overly giddy thinking of an IF of Rizzo, DeVoss, Castro, Baez... and a possible OF of Jackson/, Almora/Szczur, and Soler. The defensive possibilities are incredible, nonetheless the potential of the offense.

Randy Wells gave up 7 runs in less than two innings tonight. If the Cubs trade Garza and Dempster soon the Cubs can get back into the draft race in earnest.

Yeah Wells and Volstad apparently are going to suck for us. Can't wait to see more of them when the front three are traded.

This may be weird, bu they seem to pitch better in the majors. Coleman also sucked down there, but hasn't been too bad in the big leagues.

Umm which one of them has pitched worth anything anywhere this season?

I'm not saying they have pithced way better, but when Wells was called up to take a spot start, he didn't do too bad. Volstad has one bad inning and that's it, while in the minors he has a few bad inning. That's what I've noticed, but maybe you see it different.

 

[dabynsky]

I've given up hope on the three of them. I thought Coleman might make a decent middle reliever, but even that seems to be a stretch.
