[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1651641, member: 26283"] The minors are not bereft of talent. That was the whole point of the trading exercise the Cubs just went through. Fangraphs had the Cubs’ system jump from #18 overall prior to the Pederson trade to #9 overall. Other services haven’t updated as quickly. Specifically to the outfield, Deichmann - who just came over in the Chafin trade - and Hermosillo - .313/.436/.575 in 165 plate appearances at Iowa this year - should both be seeing some Big League at bats. Both 26 years old. No real reason to keep them at AAA. Justin Steele and Keegan Thompson should both be back up to start some games soon. Brailyn Marques shouldn’t be too far behind. Manuel Rodrigues is already in the pen. As is Kyle Ryan, who they’re trying to bring back from the dead. Hopefully Dillon Maples, Rowan Wick and Tommy Nance will all be back soon, and hopefully Ben Leeper will be making his Big League debut soon. [/QUOTE]
