Cubs Begin Minor Camp With 90 Plus Players At Eldorado Park
Chicago Cubs open their minor league camp at Eldorado Park with more than 90 players expected to drill. Week one focuses on calisthenics and fundamentals before games. The club, eight non roster players in camp, won’t demote anyone to the minors yet as they chase a late season push. The Cubs head into a 4 game skid after a 10 5 loss to the Mariners, and prepare for Tucson and Scottsdale outings with Renko on mound against the Indians and Padres in Arizona. Struggles against Seattle included Burris rough first inning before settling, while Krukow worked four innings and Reuschel finished. Newcomers Clines and Gross paced an eight hit attack, Buckner showing power after hand injuries.
