Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 01/09/17

January 9, 2017 12:05 am By Tom U. Leave a Comment

The Winter League playoffs have condensed the number of Cubs prospects to a precious few, but there were still great performances. Despite the efforts of Chesny Young and Taylor Davis, Escogido could not make up any ground in the Dominican Republic. The same was true for Caguas in Puerto Rico, which floundered even with the excellent relief work of Miguel Mejia.

If you are experiencing a January chill, the Down on the Farm Report brings you the warmth of baseball.
