"Pedro Ramírez led the International League in home runs (7), RBI (28), runs (24), and total bases (60), finishing second in slugging percentage (.625)."
"Kevin Alcántara was tied with Ramírez for the home run lead in April and his 12 total dingers lead Minor League Baseball, although he also has 44 strikeouts."
"Both players are on the 40-man roster, but don't expect either in Chicago in the near future unless an injury is involved."
"Having this kind of depth bodes well for the rest of the season, even if neither player is called up soon."
Pedro Ramírez, a Cubs infield prospect, was named International League Player of the Month, leading in home runs, RBI, runs, and total bases. Kevin Alcántara, another prospect, matched Ramírez in home runs and leads Minor League Baseball with 12 dingers. Both players are on the 40-man roster but are not expected to be called up unless injuries occur. The Cubs are currently set in the infield and outfield, making it unnecessary to promote them for bench depth.
