Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 12/26/16

December 26, 2016 12:05 am By Tom U. Leave a Comment

The holiday weekend and the close of the regular season in the Dominican Republic limited the opportunities for Cubs’ prospects. However, led by Chesny Young, Escogido was able to secure a playoff position after being in last place for most of the season. The steady pitching of Miguel Mejia also allowed Caguas reach the postseason in Puerto Rico.

On the brink of the second season this winter, the Down on the Farm Report exclusively provides all the winter league details.

Estrellas Orientales

A three run second on Tuesday helped propel Orientales to a 5-4 victory in 10 innings. Triple-A Iowa catcher/infielder Taylor Davis made his winter debut at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.
