We're sort of in limbo here at Cub Town, what with the postseason still going on and nothing of great import moving forward in the club's offseason preparations. Still, there is some Cub-related baseball going on, and it's happening in the Grand Canyon State, where the Arizona Fall League is currently in full swing.

With little else happening in our Cub-centric universe, it seemed like a fine day to take a quick tour through the stats of the baby bears who made the trip down south.

Pitchers

John Koronka	6.0	3	0	0	1	9	0.00

Eschew the tyranny of grains and back up the whole salt truck for these numbers folks, because not only are we dealing with minuscule sample sizes, but these gents are playing in a hitting environment that makes batters hailing from Planet Coors wonder who shut the gravity off.

Still, there's some fun and interesting stuff here. Matt Murton, for starters, has continued to impress, and while he's not hitting the ball out of the park, it looks like he's still driving the it with authority if his seven doubles are any indication.

In fact, all the Cub hitters look to be having decent campaigns except for Corey's little brother Eric, who seems to be in a wee bit over his head. Although I suppose that's not a huge surprise from a guy who's only had 30 ABs above A-ball, so I wouldn't let this be a source of concern. He still looks like a better bet to be useful in five years than his sibling.

What shocks me is the work turned in by John Koronka. The other two Cub hurlers who both have demonstrably superior stuff are getting handled - Aardsma in particular is bad enough to give me concern that there's something going on there beyond just thin air and hot hitting prospects - yet Koronka has been easily their better in every way.

He's being used out of the pen, so this is one of those situations where it would be extremely helpful to actually see what he's doing (okay, so it's helpful in every situation, it's just especially so here) to get a read on if he's got better velocity because he's not pacing himself, or if he's developed a new pitch, or if he's just having himself a good, fluky month.

All told, it looks like a pretty successful run so far for the mini-Cubs. Some better work from Guzman and Aardsma in the latter portion of the season would be encouraging, but for now, I'll take what this group is giving as positive reinforcement.
