Despite his youth, Morejon had been on the radar in Cuba for several years, as he pitched for Cuba in the 12U World Championship in Taiwan back in 2011. More recently, major league teams had the opportunity to scout Morejon last year in September at the 15U World Cup. With Morejon on the mound in the gold-medal game, Cuba beat the United States 6-3, with Morejon striking out 12 with one walk and seven hits allowed in a 124-pitch complete game. At 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, Morejon ran his fastball up to 91 mph, sitting mostly in the mid-to-high 80s during that tournament. He showed feel to spin a good curveball with advanced feel for pitching for a 15-year-old lefty.

Before the tournament, Morejon had pitched for Mayabeque in Cuba’s national 15U league, where he was by far the league leader in strikeouts with 113 in 68 innings, along with a 1.93 ERA (fifth in the league), 40 walks and 39 hits allowed.

He had a 12.91 ERA for Eugene.  The kid needed to up the dosage.

Cuban RH Armando Rivero is having a strong winter for #Cubs in VZ. 17 Ks/2 BBs in 13 1/3 IP. Held AAA hitters to .216 BA in 48 Gs in '15.

The K/BB numbers seem to be a nice surprise.  It would be neat if he figured something out.

Ian Happ is probably a better baseball player than you think he is. Not YOU, of course. I know you got aboard the Happ train early, right?

Thanks, Blue.  Entering last season I expected Rivero to be a serious roster or yo-yo candidate.  He had a very disappointing year.  the 17/2/13 K-rate isn't surprising; it's the 2 walks in 13-innings that's out of line with Iowa (37 walks/57 innings). 

Would be nice if he and Edwards could both provide good callup appeal. 

Is there a place where all of the Cubs winter-league stuff is accumulated?

milb stats used to have them, but that doesn't appear true this month.

His K's were down last year at Iowa and the walks jumped.  It's nice to see him being a > K/inning guy again.  Hopefully it means something and it isn't just facing a bunch of bad hitters.

No clue on the stats, those came from Rogers via Bleacher Nation.

The actual prospect list is interesting.  The article about what factors statistically are most important in projecting minor league players is also interesting.  It's just a scouting-free data thing, FWIW.  I believe it is basically an offense-oriented calculation, so Almora and Torres (and contreras) aren't getting credit for defense, nor McKinney points off.

I refuse to look, but there's a guy on PSD that says the Cubs must of signed Brailyn Marquez, he's in a Cubs uniform on Facebook. As are 2 IF, Christopher Morel and Orian Nunez. I've got no idea who those 2 are, but Marquez is the best lefty in the class(Cubans aside) and we had been rumored to have an agreement with him.

I googled Christopher Morel there was an article in Spanish saying he signed with the Cubs for 800k , is a infielder and his dad played basketball.

Christopher Morel is a poorly translated article.  He appears to be a SS. 

Marquez was announced on July 2nd.

Brailyn Marquez, LHP, Dominican: Best LHP in a weak class.  Average across the board (FB, CB, CH) tops out at 92 with a projectable frame.  Another higher risk but higher upside type arm

Marquis was announced in July but his signing was never verified by any official source that I noticed.  Was it ever announced by the Cubs?  I know that there were some names on the July list that eventually signed elsewhere.

Dave matches my recall, that Marquis was projected/guessed to sign with the Cubs.  But he was never announced as having actually done so.  A projectable 6'3" lefty who throws in the 90's is interesting, so I'm glad he signed.

Haines was the AAA manager for the Marlins.  The Cubs seem to hire a fair number of guys from them.

He became a hitting coach for the Rangers I think.  I believe Iapoche (sp) was a former Marlins coach as well.
