Mon Jul 9 2012 | 08:07 | Scouts not impressed with Concepcion |
According to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler, scouts who have seen Cubs prospect Gerardo Concepcion pitch have come away "totally unimpressed." |
"They're trying to tell people it's just mechanics -- that he needs to get straightened out," one scout said. "But if he was in a junior college game you were at, you'd leave." Concepcion, who signed a five-year, $6 million contract in March, is 2-6 with a 7.39 ERA in 12 starts this season. |

Cubs prospect Gerardo Concepcion allowed seven runs in less than an inning Monday at Low-A Peoria. |
That marks back-to-back rough outings for Concepcion, who surrendered five runs in his first professional start last week. The 20-year-old Cuban left-hander was signed to a five-year, $6 million contract in mid-March. He will have to begin making some adjustments. |

It was the Cuban defector's professional debut. Fighting jitters, he allowed five runs in a rocky first inning but settled in with four scoreless after that. The 20-year-old left-hander is likely to make a slow but steady climb through the Cubs' farm system. |
