Palacios had an absolutely tremendous year in the Dominican, so much so that he was named the Co-Pitcher of The Year in the Dominican Summer League this season. Palacios was 8-0 in 15 appearances this year (four starts) with a 0.85 ERA, 1.79 FIP (fielding independent pitching) and an 8.76 K/9 (his BB/9 was just 0.57). It’s hard to know too much about Palacios because of how far away he is, both in his development and geographically, but his numbers the past two years are very promising for his development going forward. There’s a good chance Palacios ends up state side in 2019, and that’s when we’ll know more about what kind of stuff he has and just how good he can be. He’s one of the more intriguing international prospects the Marlins have right now. Under the Radar Guy: Davis Bradshaw, OF (Batavia Muckdogs)-Bradshaw was the Marlins 11th round pick out of Meridian Community College in Mississippi this season and absolutely tore the cover off the ball across two levels in the Marlins system. Bradshaw is more of a project than the four guys we talked about earlier so there’s a reason he didn’t move as quickly as them Xander Bogaerts Jersey , but he actually had better numbers in the GCL than any of them. In 27 games (106 PA), Bradshaw slashed .376/.453/.484 with a 9.4 BB% and an very impressive 12.3 K%, he also added four doubles, 13 RBI and 15 stolen bases. 15 stolen bases in 27 games is absolutely absurd, no matter what level you’re playing at. Bradshaw continued his torrid pace when promoted to Batavia, with a .324/.368/.352 slash line adding 6 RBI and 5 stolen bases in just 19 games. He didn’t spend a lot of time in Batavia so I expect him to start there to begin the season, but don’t be surprised if he moves up to the higher levels of the system if he continues to hit the way he did in 2018. Guy That Let Us Down: Brayan Hernandez, OF (Batavia Muckdogs)-Hernandez was the headliner in the David Phelps trade with the Mariners at the time of the trade http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , but with Pablo Lopez’s emergence and Hernandez’s struggles this season, he’s taken a back seat in the deal. Hernandez’s hitting isn’t his headline tool, but he really had a tough time at the plate this season slashing only .215/.282/.342 with only 3 HR, 18 RBI, and 55 K in 52 games. He was one of the top prospects in the 2014 class so obviously Hernandez has the tools, it’s just going to be about whether he can tap into them going forward. Batavia can be a really tough place for young guys to play in (insert link to article here), and while I’m not blaming Hernandez’s struggles on that completely, it very well could have something to do with it. Hopefully a fresh start in 2019 and a possible change of scenery will get things going back in a positive direction for Hernandez. These are only a snapshot of the things that we loved to see from Marlins rookies this past season Blake Swihart Jersey , and there will be plenty more as we continue to follow their development going forward. There will be lots to follow in 2019, and based on their performance in 2018, a lot to look forward to. It’s an exciting time in the Marlins organization, and it all starts at the bottom with the youngest guys that are making an impact. His hamstring injury is apparently more serious than first thought."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Chicago Cubs recapsChicago Cubs minor leaguesChicago Cubs essaysChicago Cubs game threadsWrigley Field renovationsFull archiveLibrary Bleed Cubbie Blue Community GuidelinesCurrent time in ChicagoBCB Specials & Site InfoWinter 2019 music threadsCubs StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Cubs newsYahoo Cubs team pageYahoo Cubs reportYahoo Cubs depth chartYahoo Cubs transactionsYahoo Cubs photosOdds Shop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁旵hicago Cubs newsJon Lester is headed to the injured listNew,152commentsHis hamstring injury is apparently more serious than first thought.CDTShareTweetShareShareJon Lester is headed to the injured listPatrick Gorski-USA TODAY SportsJon Lester suffered a hamstring injury running the bases Monday and though he didn’t think it was serious, apparently, it is:Remembering that 10 days is now the minimum IL stay (it’s going back to 15 days for pitchers next year), perhaps Lester misses only one start Rick Porcello Jersey , since the Cubs have a couple of off days over the next couple of weeks.There’s no word on who would take his next start. It could be Tyler Chatwood, or the Cubs could simply skip his turn in the rotation with the off days (and with potential postponements the next day or two).I’m going to use this article as another opportunity to plug for the designated hitter. While it was certainly fun to see Lester drive in a run and later slide into the plate to score one, was it really worth it to see him now have to rehab a hamstring injury? Lester had been the Cubs’ most consistent starter through the season’s first 10 games and losing him is a blow to the pitching staff that shouldn’t be necessary.DH in the NL. Now. It’s way past time.
