Extended Spring Training Roster

Many Chicago Cubs prospects have started their 2010 season in Mesa getting some work in at Fitch Park. The Extended Spring Training club is filled with players that are there for a variety of reasons. Some are lower level prospects that will join the Boise Hawks when their shortened season begins in June. Some are recovering from injuries, while others are working on position changes or other adjustments. The clubs is managed by former Cub Jody Davis, who will manage the Hawks after the 2 month Extended Spring season is over.

The Cubs EXST team is 2-3-2 in game action against mostly the Giants, A's, and Angels.
