Callis has Cubs organization prospect group ranked at #4 in MLB (including Schwarber)--even with the Bryant, Russell, Soler graduations.

According to Cubs Den and Bill Mitchell Hudson was 89-92.  He had an inconsistent arm slot that lead to issues with control.  The curve looked good.

Almora makes this week's Hot Sheet.


Quote
8. Albert Almora, cf, Cubs

Team: Double-A Tennessee (Southern)

Age: 21

Why He’s Here: .538/.625/.769 (14-for-26), 7 R, 6 2B, 3 RBIs, 4 BB, 1 SO, 1-for-2 SB

Almora has long drawn raves for his outstanding competitive makeup, so the Cubs didn’t sweat it when their 2012 first-rounder endured three rough summer months. He has begun to right the ship in August, collecting a hit in 10 straight games, including seven straight multi-hit games from Aug. 5-11. Perhaps more impressively, Almora has struck out just 35 times this season in 322 at-bats.

Happ's swing, body motion, and follow through from the left side look strikingly like Mark Teixeira's.

Pretty deep drive for a swing which wasn't from the heels or seem to be straining at all.

Blackburn with 9K/0BB through 6.  Did allow a rare HR, though.  His ERA is down to 3.02 for the moment.  His FIP was below 3 entering the game.  Not sure how well his modest-velocity stuff projects to the majors.  But for A-ball, he's pretty good.
