Save for a couple pitchers – Travis Wood and Kyle Hendricks will get in a little work today – the Cubs’ regulars are headed back to Chicago to prepare for tomorrow night’s opener.
So, in lieu of regulars, it’s a Cubs prospect lineup to face the Diamondbacks’ regulars. Kind of fun.
Once again, the game is free for everyone on MLB.tv. So that’s swell. It’s also on WGN-9.
And the lineup is a who’s who of top Cubs positional prospects … well, with one notable omission.
Lineup:
- Jacob Hannemann, RF
- Addison Russell, SS
- Kyle Schwarber, C
- Javier Baez, 2B
- Junior Lake, LF
- Albert Almora, CF
- Jeimer Candelario, 3B
- Mike Baxter, 1B
- Travis Wood, P
