Rookie Hayden Wesneski pitched seven impressive innings against the Rockies Saturday in his MLB starting debut.
And he pitched well enough to win, if not for Abert Alzolay’s rough ninth inning during a return engagement with the active roster, and a lot of anemia in a patchwork Cubs lineup.Which brings us to the woulda-coulda-shoulda state of Cubs pitching as the team plays out the string, manager David Ross gets grayer by the day and the front office steps on deck for a critical offseason in Jed Hoyer’s Rebuild That Shall Not Be Named.
What about the rookies that have shown so much promise in late-season looks, like Javier Assad or Wesneski ? “The key [part] of that question is ‘could,’ “ he said. “It’s hard to hang your hat on ‘could,’ or ‘should,’ or ‘might.’ I don’t know if Smyly will be here. I don’t know if [Wade] Miley will be here. I don’t know if Kyle [Hendricks] will be healthy. I think there are some question marks there.”
Even if the Cubs go get that big, frontline free agent for the rotation , the depth behind the known quantities will be huge. “My stuff is good, and I know that,” added Wesneski, who at one point Saturday retired 16 straight. “And so if i’m throwing strikes with my stuff I even have a chance when I’m not so sharp.”
