Exclusive news as usual from the back fields in Jupiter.
I have seen several recent references pinning many of the Cubs’ problems on no longer having Fowler. Absence always makes the heart grow fonder.
Matheny seems concerned about players getting involved in the speculation.
If he thinks there's too many Junior GM's in clubhouse he ought to check #Twitter pic.twitter.com/VytdIpcVeX

If he can’t even run full speed, I have to wonder why he came off the DL. Or is this a chronic problem that is not going to get better?

1) No. Rehabbers are over and above the regular roster with a limit of three at once per team.
2) Any level. Often times, locations are selected based on who is home, making travel easier for the MLB player. Of course, Jupiter is a logical starting place for many. Also, the level of competition matters more when the player is getting close to being ready.
3) Anyone can rehab anywhere. For example, currently Memphis pitchers Arturo Reyes and Rowan Wick are rehabbing in the GCL. So was Palm Beach infielder Andrew Brodbeck.I have run across several cases in which the system is not allowing avatars to be loaded and I am looking into the problem. I will inform you when it is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why would Adams become a solid .850 guy all of the sudden? As has been well-documented already, Adams has made a nice side career endorsing various weight loss regimens.
After 1,721 career plate appearances at the MLB level, Adams’ career OPS is .769. He only had one partial year with St. Louis when his OPS was over .780, way back in 2013. He turns 29 years old next month. At what point do we accept that he is what he has been over six years, not what he was over one hot month after being traded?
(This reminds me a bit of the passionate supporters of Eric Fryer, who latched onto a small sample of success, choosing to ignore years of prior track record. Fryer is currently batting .154, by the way.)
Scott Schook is working on an article on that after talking with Scout’s national draft analyst Jeff Ellis. Hopefully, he will finish the article soon.
Well, DeJong was in Memphis trying to learn how to play shortstop and getting his very first at-bats at Triple-A. After all, he had hit just .216 in spring training, making it clear more seasoning would be best.
This is per Elias and announced in the press box.
DeJong 1st #STLCards SS in modern era (1900-present) to collect 4 extra base hits in a single game

If Grichuk did not learn at Palm Beach, he isn’t going to want to learn by watching a rookie.
Looks like this is DeJong’s weekend!
One of our readers chased down MLB’s Jim Callis, who says McCarthy did NOT sign. However, at least as of yet, MLB’s Draft Tracker still has the erroneous information. Nice job, Randy!

No update on this one. No, I wouldn't have tweeted this without serious assurances, but looking questionable now.
