"I think, for tonight's game, I'm most looking forward to seeing Ben Brown (and his new sinker), but my two other favorites are also set up: Moises Ballesteros is catching another game (he was an ABS challenge machine the last time he caught). And Jefferson Rojas is back in the Cubs lineup."
"I still don't think Ballesteros will catch all that often this year, but his value to the team is FAR higher if he can be even an occasional guy. So far, so good as far as my eyes can see."
"Likewise, Rojas is not making the team, but he has just been having an enormous spring at the plate, and not just for a guy at his age/experience level/position: 1.102 OPS."
The Cubs face the Padres in a spring training night game from Peoria Stadium, available on MLB.TV. The lineup features multiple players competing for roster spots and development opportunities. Catcher Moises Ballesteros continues catching games, increasing his value to the team through occasional appearances. Shortstop Jefferson Rojas demonstrates strong spring performance with a 1.102 OPS. Pitcher Ben Brown showcases a new sinker. Outfielder Matt Shaw leads off while learning new positions. Other roster contenders including Dylan Carlson, Chas McCormick, Owen Miller, Scott Kingery, and Justin Dean remain in competition. The World Baseball Classic game between Team USA and Team Brazil also airs simultaneously.
