I'm very concerned about the Cubs' ability to scout and develop pitchers. Only two pitchers originally drafted or signed as an IFA by the Cubs pitched at the MLB level this year. James Russell was 0-2, 5.29 in 34 innings, and he was released. Dallas Beeler was 0-1, 9.72 in 8-1/3 innings over three starts. Frank Bautista, Eric Jokisch, Pierce Johnson, Tayler Scott, Ryan Williams and Rob Zastryzny were the only home-grown starters to pitch above Class A ball.
