Cubs call up Palencia, adding triple-digit fastball to bullpen. McGrawDHSports Cubs
It feels like every team in MLB has a half-dozen relievers who throw at lest 98 miles per hour, except the Cubs.
Ross usually likes to ease players into their debuts. But after the Cubs squandered a late 6-2 lead, Palencia took the mound in the bottom of the 10th, threw two scoreless innings and picked up the win. "I don't think that transition is entirely done yet, but he's gotten better and better," Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said."He should be a weapon in the bullpen."
"I think we probably did fall behind for a period," Hoyer said."I think if you look at our minor league system right now, we're at the very top in terms of stuff grades and velocity. We haven't translated that up at the league leagues.
