I was among those whose Twitter was virtually useless last Friday night, well into the weekend. Since Twitter is my primary mechanism for knowing who is doing what across the baseball world, I was skiing with a blindfold on. As such, I’ll take a mild veer to talk some about the Cubs alternate training site team that split two games with the White Sox squad from Schaumburg. Assessing de facto Triple-A squads aren’t typically Draft look stuff. However, I noticed a trend that is mildly Draft-centric.
While many of the Cubs’ alternate site squad players are leftovers with MLB experience (Cameron Maybin, Nick Martini, Rafael Ortega, and others), a name in the White Sox lineup jumped out at me.
