Cubs minor leagues: Three up, three down for the first week of the season

With the minor leagues resuming in 2021, my thoughts went to how to write about the pipeline this year. Josh’s Minor League Wrap brought me here, and I dig his continued efforts. What do I wish to bring (back?) to the table? My favorite type of pipeline article was my “Three Up/Three Down” series, where I look at what seems to be working in the pipeline, and what doesn’t, and so I’m bringing that back.
The Cubs’ offseason inaction is maddening

The Cubs’ off-season stands somewhere between “dawdling” and “thumb-twiddling,” despite the addition of catcher Austin Romine. I grasp that a trade of a big-name, big-ticket player or more might need to precede any major additions. However, with the 40-man roster at 36, at some point, running that to full might be useful eventually. This was my mindset when I saw this MLBTR headline on Saturday about the Braves making a couple of waiver claims that could prove useful.
You might not be familiar with corner outfielder Kyle Garlick or reliever Victor Arano. Arano has 74⅔ innings of MLB time over 73 outings with the Phillies from 2017-19. He has slightly over two years of MLB service time with an ERA of 2.65. Fangraphs valued him at $200,000 in 2020 after a bit over $6 million in 2019. He will make roughly league minimum in 2021.

The closing of the championship window means that a new window must be opening, yes? At least a peephole? We need to see the new kandy-kolored metalflake blue dream clearly.
I’m looking forward to seeing some players sign that might potentially join forty-man Jenga. Personally, I have always had a yen for toolsy switch-hitters. They just tick off all of my boxes, especially if they can field slick and/or make consistent contact. People like Jurickson Profar and Greg Allen make good utility players, which is how they stick around in MLB. Not too many at-bats, though. They are useful, but the magic something isn’t always applied in a thick coat. Why is it that Hope springs eternal, yet often trips over her shoelaces?
