Useful that Soler can continue rehab in competitive games.

Terrific to have Soler back.  And fun to have Myrtle get another series, some more AB for Soler, maybe Tseng will get another start in that series and maybe Underwood another too.  Fun to extend the enjoyable minor-league season just a little longer.  Would be cool if some of the Myrtle Beach guys who were part of the hugely successful Kane County team last year end up with another terrific winning season.

Those single A pitchers are making life tough on Jorge.

Berg has been doing well at Myrtle.  Not K-dominant, but he's been effective.  Saves another playoff game tonight, 2-0.

Skulina with an excellent game, 6K, 2 walks, 1 single in 5 shutout innings. 

I'm still somewhat hopeful that he'll do well if he could get a full healthy season in.

Caratini has been really hot in this series. 

His second half numbers look pretty interesting, offensively, for a catcher who just turned 22:  .277/.359/.416/.775  He's been lots hotter than that in the playoffs, and in August/September.  K/BB was comparable (or better?) first half, but no HR till June, and his BABIP has improved as the year has progressed.  Hit quite a few doubles, walks quite a bit, doesn't K much, but hasn't shown much HR power.  If he was to somehow emerge with some HR power, he might be pretty interesting offensively.  Perhaps so even without. 

I wonder if he'll add any HR power, outside of Myrtle?

Many of the Pelicans were on the 2014 Kane County Cougars that went undefeated in the Midwest League playoffs last year. I believe they were 7-0. This year, they're 4-1, and all of their remaining games will be played in Myrtle Beach.

While the Cubs only have 2 pitchers that have TORP potential in Underwood and Cease, they have a bunch of middle of the rotation and back of the rotation guys that will be in AA/AAA next year.  It is nice to see Skulina returning to form and Cubs Den mentioned that the decreased velocity last year might have helped his pitchability.

I'd say it's a bit early to write off Bryan Hudson and Oscar De La Cruz, and perhaps Trevor Clifton.

Oh they have plenty of plenty of pitchers in the lower minors that are interesting. 

Hudson to get to TORP needs a bumb in velocity.  De La Cruz needs to so premium stuff at a higher level.  Clifton has to improve his command.  I'm far from writing them off, but right now for me they are behind Cease and Underwood in terms of potential.  Cease has more stuff to work on as well, but none of those guys has his fastball, which gives him a leg up on everybody.

If we're going to peg those guys as TOR stuff guys at this point in their careers, there would be 200+ TOR stuff  pitching prospects around baseball under that standard. There isn't.
