For most of the first two months of the 2021 season, the Cubs pipeline had been bad news heaped on top of bad news. Injuries. Players being underwater against the opposition. The last 11 days, or so, things have started to turn around, if only a little.
Myrtle Beach's hitters are starting to hit, at least a bit. Ed Howard had a four-hit game. Ethan Hearn homered, and hit a bases-clearing double to the wall. Development happens, as it does, if it does. Some of the next additions to the A-Level rosters might come through trades.
