Ryan Williams' stat line is some video game shit.

7 starts, 45 innings, 0.59 ERA, 35K 2BB.

He's a college guy in low A ball. Not really fair.

Yeah, but there are other college guys in the Midwest League, and none of them have numbers like these.

Don't look now but Baez is up to .322/.404/.540 (.944 OPS) at Iowa, 9 walks, 24 strikeouts in 96 plate appearances (maybe more...I wasn't able to see HBP and SF's in his stats).  Don't see how he's played on defense but I saw enough of him with the glove last year to not worry about it.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

He's actually be pretty terrible on defense.

As man errors as Castro and Russell combined in a lot less games.

In PANKworld, "He's actually be" and "As man errors" are unremarkable, but using "less" instead of "fewer" is unforgivable.

I can't remember if we were talking about Eloy Jiminez on Desipio or the SBox yesterday, but he had a pretty nice game in Extended Spring Training yesterday, going 2-3 with a homer and a triple.  Should be in Eugene come June. 

Also, Dylan Cease is back at it after TJ surgery last season after he was drafted.

Pitched 3 innings/45 pitches in a simulated game. 
Good to see he's progressing.  Stud arm for sure. 

There are a couple other names of note down there (Justin Steele, Carson Sands, Kevonte Mitchell) and hopefully we'll see all of them in Eugene.

Cease, Steele, Sands are all draftees from last year? I remember us discussing these guys last summer vaguely...there is a ton of potential here, right?

Yeah, they went 4th-6th and all got $1MM+. 

Cease was the toughest sign because he was committed to Vandy and had elbow problems.  Without elbow problems, he was projected as a first rounder. 

And then we spent 3 months trying to figure out if he was a dick on Twitter and ended up thinking that the old account was probably a fake and that he might still be a dick was probably wasn't that dick on Twitter.

But in the meantime we also found Carson Sands' super-hot girlfriend (now fiancee) and everything was good.

Worth noting that Cease has been hitting throwing his fastball 95-99 so far in extended spring training.

Not so much over the plate, but fast as hell.  Good news for a guy less than 12 months removed from TJ Disease, since control usually takes longer to come back.

So has Wilson Contreras been discussed here before?  I heard Jed talking him up yesterday on the pre-game and took a gander to see the just-recently-turned 23 year old has an .875 OPS since being promoted to AA.

Methinks Jed may be talking him up to drum up his value in a trade, but he seems like the kind of guy that'd have been our top prospect 10 years ago, which obviously speaks to the organizational depth the Cubs have.  A quick glance at his defensive numbers shows he's clearly ahead of Schwarber, at least in gunning down runners (11 caught stealing in 26 attempts).
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
