Cubs’ top pitching prospect Caleb Kilian said it’s “awesome” that some considered his debut the most anticipated for a Cubs pitcher since Mark Prior.
But it’s here. And it promises to play out over these final three-plus months, in all its glorious highs and all its ugly lows — like that 12-1 loss to the worst offensive team in the league Monday night in Pittsburgh.
So rookie Chris Morel obviously is the centerfielder, and leadoff man, for the Cubs until further notice. Outfielder Nelson Velázquez, who made his debut last month, is back as of Monday. “That’s awesome. I love that,” Kilian said. “The fans are so great. The support’s been awesome. I don’t know how much hype I actually have. But it’s awesome to be part of this team.”But his two starts since the debut have at least reminded anyone watching about that whole non-linear thing.
Thompson, Steele and at least Kilian will continue to get long looks in the rotation this season even after some injured veterans start to filter back from the injured list. The Cubs need to find out what they have to know what they need to do next, over the winter, in this ugly looking, cost-saving rebuild.
How many will stick? How long will each of those processes take? And how long will it help add up to a core that can win series in October? The Pirates’ left fielder, Bligh Madris, also made his debut Monday and went 3-for-4, including a two-run single off Kilian in the second.
