Cubs relievers got 10K in their 5 innings yesterday. I think
Iowa is going to have some guys with big league velocity and
with big-league K-capacity. Control, command, consistency,
that's a different story, I suppose.

Miller looked good again today.
If they don't add him to the roster before his opt out and he
winds up going elsewhere, they might as well just stop signing
these reclamation projects altogether. He's been as good as
anyone could reasonably hope a comeback guy like him to be.

So Strop got the final outs today to preserve the lead (while
allowing a run).
Yahoo has both him and Kimbrel listed as #46; which one got to
keep it?

Kimbrel. Strop is wearing 64, Carlton Fisk style.

And here I was rooting for him passionately; I might have to
change this now :(

Don't worry. He's not making the team.
Let's just hope that Higgins (86) picks a real number when he
breaks camp with the club.

Maples got himself into a jam, but recovered pretty well. Let
down by his defense (for whatever reason, a familiar theme with
him).

Would be helpful to know details of Miller’s opt-out date.
As AZ Phil has noted, if Miller’s opt-out is opening day, then
Cubs figure to add him to roster. If opt-out is later, it might
be best to stretch him out at SB and get him ready as a SP.
Miller got a K in last outing on a good breaking ball in dirt
but the breaking stuff is behind his heater right now. Seems to
be commanding FB well and hitting 95. But, hoping Cubs have
some flexibility on the opt-out.
Megill looked good again and deserves to make the club but don’t
see an open roster spot unless Cubs release some 40-man FAs
(Workman? Holder?). But think Cubs will want to control as many
guys as possible.
Brothers is also deserving and might have an opt-out too?
Guessing he makes the club, even with the option.
40-man gets more complicated if Romine can’t go opening day and
Cubs have to make 40-man room for Higgins. Could see pitcher
with options DFA if that is necessary, or one of the vet
relievers.
I’m assuming that Sogard takes Vargas’ 40-man slot. Wonder about
a Maybin opt-out date too? Maybe Cubs prefer Torres in any case.

Still awaiting the decision on Alzolay's option status, too.
