He walked the second batter he faced, allowed an infield single, then ran a three-ball count on Matt Davidson before striking him out. A single down the right-field line by Hunter Pence made it 1-0 Rangers.But the Cubs got the run back in the bottom of the first. After Delino DeShields made a nice diving catch on a Ben Zobrist line drive (and I still can’t get used to that being the son of the guy who played for the Cubs, it seems like just yesterday), Kris Bryant was hit by a pitch and Anthony Rizzo walked.One out later, Kyle Schwarber drove in Bryant:And then Darvish settled down. He allowed just three more baserunners, a double just out of the reach of Bryant, a hit batter and a walk before being removed one batter into the fifth inning. Darvish struck out five and the only real complaint I had about his outing was that he was working very slowly. We aren’t (apparently) going to have a pitch clock, but it had expired numerous times on him before he delivered the ball. Darvish was better in his last outing, I thought, when he worked faster. His velocity was good again in this game, sitting mainly at 94-95.And Cubs relievers Brian Duensing, Brandon Kintzler, Duane Underwood Jr., Rowan Wick and James Norwood combined for five shutout innings, with one hit and three walks allowed, and five strikeouts. Granted, much of this was against Rangers minor leaguers.In the bottom of the eighth, Zack Short walked with one out. He stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error Wily Peralta Jersey , bringing up Court:The sac fly put the Cubs ahead, and Norwood entered to throw the ninth. As he did last year, Norwood threw at an easy 97 miles per hour. He struck out the first batter he faced, then issued a walk to Rangers minor leaguer Yonny Hernandez. Hernandez took off for second. Francisco Arcia, who had replaced Willson Contreras in the eighth, made a high throw — but Nico Hoerner, again subbing in a major-league spring game, put a very impressive tag down for the out. Seems every time Hoerner’s in a game he makes something happen. Even before the game, Theo Epstein seemed impressed with Hoerner:That’s definitely impressive considering Hoerner’s professional experience consisted, prior to this spring, of 14 games at Low-A South Bend before he was injured, and 21 games in the Arizona Fall League. You can see that maturity and presence every time he takes the field with the big leaguers. It’s not impossible we could see him in the big leagues later this year.One other thing to note: Wick threw a solid inning, striking out a pair and throwing at 95 most of the time. Like Norwood, he’s an Iowa Shuttle kind of guy this year and could help the big-league team.Attendance watch: On a day when it was chilly in the shade but pleasant in the sun, 14,599 paid to see this game. That makes the Cubs’ total for 11 dates 144,295, or 13,118 per date. The coolish weather led to the unusual occurrence of a warmer temperature in Chicago than in Mesa:Friday, the Cubs travel to Glendale to face the White Sox. Cole Hamels gets the start for the Cubs and Lucas Giolito will go for the Sox. At last, there’s a TV game. It will be on WGN, with the Sox announcers. There will be a Cubs radio broadcast on 670 The Score. Baseball America, on the other hand, was more optimistic."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Tigers AnalysisDetroit Tigers Prospect NotebookDetroit Tigers Game ThreadsDetroit Tigers NewsDetroit Tigers PodcastsMLB prospects & minor leaguesDetroit Tigers Prospect NotebookBaseball Prospectus ranks just one Tigers prospect on their preseason top 101 listNew,40commentsBaseball America http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , on the other hand, was more optimistic.ESTShareTweetShareShareBaseball Prospectus ranks just one Tigers prospect on their preseason top 101 listRick Osentoski-USA TODAY SportsThe approach of spring camp heralds another round of top 100 lists from prospect sites around the country. While we wait for MLB Pipeline and FanGraphs to re-evaluate the Detroit Tigers’ farm system, a few other notable sites weighed in on Wednesday, and it wasn’t pretty. In fact, the Tigers system was almost entirely panned by one outlet.Baseball Prospectus’ new top 101 featured just one Tigers’ farmhand, starting pitcher Casey Mize, who checked in at number 36 in the country. Even looking to their next 10 who didn’t make the cut, there is no Matt Manning, no Isaac Paredes, and no Daz Cameron. It was...surprising. You can check the list out here for free.Unfortunately, it’s just a raw list without commentary, so there isn’t a whole lot to say about it. Obviously B-Pro really is not a fan of the Tigers’ rebuilding effort thus far. But before you get your pitchforks, it bears remembering that these are somewhat outliers as opinions. Daz Cameron and Isaac Paredes, for example, at currently ranked at 42 and 43, on FanGraphs’ list. Cameron’s bat still has some question marks, but Paredes is widely ranked in the middle of most top 100 lists around the game, and was just this week seen on fire in the Mexican Winter League playoffs.It is worth remembering, that while the Tigers’ farm system feels infinitely deeper than it did a few years ago, and there are plenty of talented prospects, the Tigers still don’t have a unanimously hailed blue chip prospect other than Casey Mize. There are plenty of things to take issue with in the Baseball Prospectus list, but without multiple top tier prospects, even a system as deep as Detroit’s carries a fair amount of risk. Particularly as the Tigers’ system is heavily dependent on pitching. So no, Baseball Prospectus doesn’t hate the Tigers and wish ill upon them.In a sunnier assessment, Baseball America had a lot of good things to say about two of the Tigers’ most important prospects. They ranked Casey Mize 16th overall Alex Gordon Jersey , the highest any of the major sites have ordered him. Matt Manning checked in 50th, and Isaac Paredes was 94th overall. As we’ve said before here at BYB, grading prospects is better done in tiers. FanGraphs does this extremely well, and is incredibly detailed and open with their approach. But they’re all opinions. Lists are fun, but the differences between one list’s 65th ranked prospect, and one at 110, is probably far smaller than the numbers might lead you to believe. Projecting young baseball players is very difficult, with huge failure rates, so it isn’t really worth getting too upset over. It is interesting to consider the different methodologies and opinions of the different sites, though. Last year, B-Pro had Franklin Perez at 53, and Beau Burrows at 94. Someone there is not into Matt Manning, clearly. After making major strides in every part of his game as a 20-year-old, Manning’s risk has been substantially moderated in a lot of eyes, while the development of his curveball and changeup drew good reviews all season. Some just aren’t buying it yet. Perez’s injuries understandably tanked his stock heading into 2019, while Burrows just seemed to stay the course without much of an improvement this season as other talented players entered their list. In the coming weeks, we should see updated lists from FanGraphs and MLB Pipeline. Drawing comparisons among all these, along with coverange from good sites like Prospects Live and Tigstown, as well as our own rankings, should remain an interesting exercise. But it doesn’t change the basic calculus. The Tigers have an awful lot of talented, but risky, young prospects, and how they perform in 2019 is going to tell us a lot about the status of the organization’s rebuilding effort.
