I have three comments on the list.

 

1) DeCaster had a better winter than Wood! Wow!

 

2) Should the Cub's sign Luis Garcia?

 

3) It is depressing, but not surprising, not to see any of the Cub's prospects on the list.

Cool.

 

I've seen this guy on TV playing for the Netherlands.

The Dutch have high hopes for him in the upcoming WBC (he's been playing for their national team since 2003).

 

Side note: in the Netherlands, his first name is usually spelled Shurendell

 

Here's a picture of him:

If it was a top list Cedeno would have made the list without a doubt. It wasn't a list as much as an all-star team. Cedeno was behind Wood.

I remember you saying last year that he could hit the googly like no other!

Anyone know anything about the guy?

He's why we traded Mack-O-Whack. He'll fill the role of super-sub for us. Plays the entire field (OK, he doesn't catch.)

 

He has to make the team first, of course.
