Flood it with Cub Q's!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like there are 5 Cubs questions + 1 with a mention of Hill.

[Mephistopheles]

Meh, just about every answer is a generic I don't know comment.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, I asked the Ceda question. Was disappointed.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wow, that was Joe Morgan-esque.

[CubColtPacer]

I was a little shocked about this myself. Isn't it his job to know most of these things? I think the Cubs farm system is below average-but with the responses today, I don't know how Sickels could possibly know that with the answers he gave today-basically, it appears that he has only taken a cursory glance at best at the Cubs this year. At least that's what I got out of it-I was very disappointed.

You would get better answers out of Fleita and Wilken!! Why would you listen to a stat rat that has very little intrest in the Cubs and has had a history of problems from Wilken over the yrs.

I usually like his writeups and I like his books too but that was lame. If he didn't want to spend time answering questions he shouldn't have open threads like that.

What problems has Sickels had with Wilken? Not doubting you, just asking out of ignorance...

I thought the whole "Hill needs to get away from Chicago" bit was just downright stupid. You don't make a comment like that without at least a short 1-2 sentence follow up.

Especially considering his recent run of success.

Wow, I don't think Todd Walker compares to Eric Patterson at all.... :shock:

Sickles writings in the past going all the way back to Toronto haven't been favorable with Wilken!
