Wednesday was an odd day in the Cubs farm system. Three of the four active teams were not very active. Or, to be more exact, all their activity was off the field. Only Tennessee played yesterday (and that game was interrupted by a rain delay); the rest of the farm teams were traveling.
Since there is only one game to talk about this morning, we’ll do a little traveling of our own. The “Other News” section today takes a very quick look outside the Cubs farm system and checks out one of the few truly exceptional tools currently in the minors.
Scores From Yesterday
Iowa – The Iowa Cubs had the day off on Wednesday as they hit the road for Omaha. Iowa has won just two road games this season; a couple wins in Nebraska would be a very good thing.
Tennessee – A rough night for the bullpen led to a 5-4 Smokies loss.
Daytona – The Daytona Cubs also had a (scheduled) day off on Wednesday. The High A franchise is heading home to open a seven game stand on Thursday night. The Cubs have played well on the road, but their home record contains a single win. They’re probably due.
Kane County – Kane County was traveling on Wednesday as well. The Cougars will be in Fort Wayne for three starting today.
