Several Cubs are having good seasons in the Arizona Fall League, and Wednesday three of them got the nod for the annual “Fall Stars Game,” which will be played this Saturday.
Nelson Velazquez, Andy Weber (who was profiled here by Tim Huwe earlier today) and Caleb Kilian will be on the East roster for the game.
Velazquez, who has shown a strong arm in right field as well as a good bat, has a chance to be league MVP. He’s currently hitting .390/.490/.756 (32-for-82) with a league-leading eight home runs. He leads the AFL in all three slash line categories entering Wednesday’s action.
