I about had a heart attack when I saw this tweet about 5:30 on Tuesday.
Nelson Velazquez @NVelazquez26 in the lineup for South Bend and making his MWL debut. Cubs 5th round pick last year out of Puerto Rico. #HeGood

Needless to say, I ate my gyro and salad in a hurry so that I could sit and watch the game. Nelson Velazquez is currently ranked as the No. 9 Cubs prospect on MLB PIpeline on MLB.com and I this would be my first time seeing him play live.
