Almora has already doubled in his first AB tonight with a hard
line drive down the 3rd base line. It appears he's figuring out
Double A.
I guess I should update my own post by pointing out Wilson
Contreras knocked in Almora with a two-out single to give the
Smokies a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st. Then McKinney
hammers a two-run homer to right 3-0 still in the 1st.

Almora singles to SS in the 5th. He's over .700 OPS, and will
stay there for the night.
Bufoon, is Almora leg-kicking much tonight?

He's actually hitting about .360 over his last ten games.
Perhaps he has figured it out. If he continues hitting well
over the next week, is there any chance the Cubs would move him
up to Iowa to finish off the season? Iowa is 4 games out,
Tennessee is 6 games out, and neither won the first half, so he
might have a bit better chance to get some post-season
experience (even if only minor league post-season) with Iowa,
and it the AAA experience might help his development there.

Does anyone know what happened with Logan Watkins after the Cubs
designated him for assignment last December? Did he just end up
retiring at age 25?

I'm not sure there is any other position player in the minors
whose progress could be more important to the Cubs' future at
this point. Hoping for the best.

Ryan Williams today with six innings, one hit, no runs, no
walks, five strike outs.
Given his stuff and age, it is easy to dismiss his performance
in Mesa and Boise last year, and South Bend this year. But with
the same success in Tennessee, I am starting to wonder if we
have another Hendricks in the system.
