While other big names like Ian Happ and Dylan Cease have been tearing up their respective levels of the Cubs minor league system, Eloy Jimenez has been laboring in relative obscurity at Extended Spring Training in Mesa. Not the best for fans who want to see how he performs against live competition, great for bloggers who live in Phoenix.
Our own Jon Ferlise caught some of Jimenez’s at-bats Thursday and even got the chance to talk to the big outfielder about his injured shoulder and when he hopes to get back to an affiliate.
