Cubs Intrasquad Game Thread, Friday 2/22

The Cubs will take the field at HoHoKam Park in a few minutes in the second and last intrasquad game before the spring exhibition season begins Saturday with a 2 pm. CT game against the Angels at Tempe.

Here are the lineups for today's game:

Blue Team
Brett Jackson CF
Darnell McDonald LF
Rafael Lopez C
Dave Sappelt DH
Brian Bogusevic RF
Christian Villanueva 3B
Alberto Gonzalez 2B
Brad Nelson 1B
Javier Baez SS

White Team
Logan Watkins 2B
Matt Szczur CF
Steve Clevenger C
Johermyn Chavez RF
Junior Lake 3B
Edwin Maysonet SS
Brent Lillibridge 1B
Jorge Soler LF
Luis Valbuena DH

The only players who were in Thursday's game who will play again today are Lake, Baez and Soler. Ian Stewart and Josh Vitters are on the shelf with what are being described as "minor" quad injuries. Obviously, this was a way of getting some in-game playing time for as many players as possible before they start playing in real games against actual opposing players.

Once again, play ball! And, discuss amongst yourselves. (Reminder, this game is set to go five innings.)
