Juan Cruz- is he coming back this year?

I saw he was placed on the DL in early august, and I know he's been horrendous which is perplexing to me. I haven't read a thing on him since he was placed on the DL and I checked MILB.com but I haven't seen him rehabbing at all. Is he shut down for the year or will KC try to get him some work in before the end of the year? Or has nobody cared about him whatsoever since he's been as bad as it gets?

 

Thanks for any info-

Julio Rodriguez, GCL

 

So, what does everybody know about this guy? I have found very little information on him re: scouting reports and all that. Obviously, his stats through three starts are tremendous. 20 SO/ 1BB. Still only 18 years old and 6'4 190. 10 hits allowed in his three starts too. (Stats here.) 

Now I know there is very little known about these kids in the GCL until the season is over, but does anybody here know what kind of stuff he has? Fastball sits where? Type of curve? Change? etc? Projection? Like I said, it is only the GCL so it is far too soon to get excited but if those numbers are any indication of an 18 year old then it looks like he could turn into a pretty good prospect.

Anyway, just checking to see if any of you Philly fans knew anything about him, thanks.

Lowrie?

When he's off the DL, will the starting job be Jed Lowrie's? I thought I heard last week on NESN that was the speculation, but can't find that anywhere in writing. Makes sense to me given I don't think much of Lugo or Green, but just wondering what the plan was with him once he's activated- or will Tito just play it by ear?

Josh Harrison?

Hello-

 

I was wondering what everybody thinks of Harrison. I see he's played some 2B and LF this year and was an 08 draft pick. Obviously he's a bit old for his level- 21 in the MWL but you can't really argue with .381/.412/.561. Those 14 doubles could easily turn into HR's too in a more homer friendly league since the MWL isn't exactly kind for that, but his size probably says he won't ever hit for a ton of power.

 

What do you guys think of him and what does the Cubs brass think at this point? Seems to me like he could be a pretty good sleeper prospect and should probably get promoted soon.

Luis Marte?

Hey-

 

I was wondering what the Tigers and Tiger fans think of Luis Marte. He was terrific last year in the FSL, had the injury and just didn't have command last year in AA. Not so much this year as he's got 29 SO/ 5 BB in 29.2 IP which is more than respectable and obviously a huge improvement over last years AA SO/BB ratio (32/26). .236 BAA, 3.34 ERA in AA... I haven't read much about him this year. What are the Tigers planning to do with him in the future and what about something on his stuff? Haven't read anything on him at all lately as I've said - just looking for some more info on him.

 

Thanks.

Carlos Rosa?

Where has he gone? He hasn't pitched since July 13th. Is he hurt, or participating in the olympics or something?
