Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 11/28/16

November 28, 2016 12:05 am By Tom U. Leave a Comment

In a short week due to the holiday, the Cubs saw two debuts in the winter leagues. Chesny Young joined Escogido of the Dominican Winter League and did what he does best: hit. Down in Venezuela, Young’s double play partner Carlos Penalver got off to a roaring start with Aragua. And in Puerto Rico, Yasiel Balaguert continues to knock the cover off the ball.

Today, the Down on the Farm Report comes into the holiday season with plenty of hits.
