[Bertz]

I love his LH swing. Up to .240/.340/..407. And like a lot of guys in the system he had a pretty terrible April to dig his way out of.

Don't look at the pitching down on the farm today though

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Koen Moreno made his pro debut for the ACL Cubs.

1+ IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, WP

[TomtheBombadil]

Koen Moreno's making his debut in the ACL, walked 3, K'd 2, threw a wild pitch and balked but didn't allow a run OK

Johzan Oquendo and Angel Hernandez made their second appearances this week, seem to be getting alot of work lately between them, and helped pulled out a win. Both have big control issues, hence the bullpen roles, but also power stuff and natural deception. There's similarities in their usage to early Ethan Roberts, particularly Oquendo, who basically never made a single inning relief appearance in the minors despite being most a SIRP prospect. Oquendo's become kind of a personal favorite

Two big comeback wins for both SB and MB last night. There is some talent down there.
