Looks like Jeimer Candelario is the scourge of Arizona.

He's another of those guys who has been working his way up through the Cubs' farm system for so long it's easy to forget he doesn't turn 22 until next month.

He also had a really run in the the half of the year with Tennessee. There's really nowhere for him to go in the organization though, so maybe he'll get some sort of trade-value boost with the AFL performance.

Speaking of guys with nowhere to go, does Christian Villanueva still have any value? I recall that he is a very-good-to-great defensive 3B, but his .751 OPS in his age 24 season at Iowa didn't exactly set the world on fire.

Yeah, he's not much of a prospect anymore.

I also just remembered that Candelario is a Rule V guy this December, along with Pierce Johnson, Vogelbach and a few other guys who aren't complete scrubs. Interesting to see what they'll do with that (if anything).

You got a good list of those somewhere?  Or a link to the list?

Holy crap, remember when Dillon Maples was a thing?


I only recall you touting him.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Jackson and Vitters are overmatched in Chicago, at least for now.

Baez, Soler and Almora are raking the ever loving shit out of A ball pitching.

Matt Szczur got moved up to AA, where he's still not showing good numbers, but they've been improving.

Dillon Maples is getting started in Arizona, and he's looking overpowering in a small sample size.

For those who actually get to see some of these guys in action, have at it.

Same, I had heard of Dae-Eun Rhee and Trey McNutt, but knew nothing else about them and since this was the Hendry farm system I assumed they were 5'8" middle infielders.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015
