Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 01/02/17

January 2, 2017 12:05 am By Tom U. Leave a Comment

A Happy New Year to all! This past week saw the conclusion of the winter regular season across all leagues, along with the opening of the playoffs in the Dominican Republic. In the DWL, Taylor Davis joined Tennessee Smokies teammate Chesny Young, as both continued to do what they do best, hit.

Looking to make a playoff push, Carolina turned back to Yasiel Balaguert with positive results in Puerto Rico. And the Cubs still have nine prospects that can affect the outcome of the playoffs in Venezuela.

With an abbreviated slate, the Down on the Farm Report remains the only column to bring you all the action from the winter leagues.

Dominican Winter League

Leones del Escogido

It was a good start for Escogido on Wednesday, scoring four runs in the first inning. But that is all they would get as the Leones lost to Cibaenas 7-4. Chesny Young started at third base and was 1-for-4 with two RBI.

It was déjà vu for the Lions on Thursday as they bowed to Cibaenas 7-4. Taylor Davis joined Escogido and played first base, going 1-for-4 while third baseman Chesny Young was 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
