Just retire 21 already, plz. Or at least take it out of commission.

 

Also, 44 is interesting. Has anyone worn it sins Farnsworth? I cant think of any.

More specifically, Chad Fox (as opposed to Jake Fox).

Thanks for the plug. Yes, I am still here. I really don't post but I do come here to read whats going on.

 

I am soon going to update my yearly page with the spring training numbers and I will be updating the all-time list once the season starts (since that page does not contain spring training numbers).

It's not that surprising...that was Colvin's number throughout the minors.

Ah Fox, that's right. And I completely forgot Novoa existed.

Why? Forget for a moment that the whole number retirement thing is stupid, but it never happens immediately. Usually it waits until after a guy is inducted in the Hall. Why does it have to happen right away? Why does a guy need his number retired at all?

[J.R.]

It's just another petty show of disrespect for Sosa.

It's just another petty show of disrespect for Sosa.

 

How and why? All sorts of really good players have had other players where their numbers after they are done playing for a team.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It took about 30 years to retire Santo's number.

 

By the by, I also believe retiring numbers is an idiotic practice.

Just because you think number retirement is silly doesn't mean everyone does. Many do, many don't. I happen to think it's a nice honor.

 

Aside from that, I know it rarely ever happens immediately. I was mostly speaking out of what I would like to see happen. If Sammy is ever elected to the Hall I'd assume the Cubs will then retire his number soon after. I have no real problem with them not doing it yet and I don't think it's any show of "disrespect" to allow other players to wear 21. I'd just like to see it retired a.s.a.p. because he's my favorite Cub.

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm a little torn on retiring numbers. In basketball everybody wants No. 23. If I were Michael Jordan I would think that was awesome. But at the same time it's kind of cool to retire the number...

[WrigleyField 22]

Retiring numbers is only stupid if it is misused like the Boston Celtics.

[haubrich91]

So Jaramillo is the lucky #7. Are we going to cringe when we see him wearing it, think about Aaron Miles?

[BCVM22]

Nope. Just think Lofton and Walker and Theriot and DeRosa.

[loukycub]

with all due respect, sammy sosa has already disrespected sammy sosa especially in light of mcgwire's "confession". it's been a dirty number for a while and someone needs to play better to make the number respectable again.

I agree with you to an extent, but do you really believe Tyler Colvin will be the one to do this?

So that's 38 on the 40 man roster, leaving the option of adding 2 without waiving or releasing anyone.

Here are the latest updates...Thanks to Al Yellon of Bleed Cubbie Blue for these (since I have not yet gotten a response back from my inquiry to the Cubs on updated numbers, but he did). These numbers do not as of yet appear on the official Cub site, but they did come from the Cubs so I would think they are accurate

 

34-Jeff Gray

56-Brad Snyder(NRI)

65-Darwin Barney(NRI)

72-Welington Castillo(NRI)

74-Steve Clevenger(NRI)

77-Dave Bialas (ST instructor)

79-Casey Coleman(NRI)

80-Carmelo Martinez (ST instructor)

81-Bob Dernier (ST instructor)

82-Von Joshua (ST instructor)

83-Franklin Font (ST instructor)

85-Mark Riggins (ST instructor)

87-Dave Keller (ST instructor)

89-Dennis Lewallyn (ST instructor)

90-Brad Kelley (ST instructor)

91-Marty Pevey (ST instructor)

92-Tom Beyers (ST instructor)

93-Bill Dancy (ST instructor)

What's highly entertaining is when a minor leaguer without a non-roster invitation to big league camp appears in a major league split squad game. That leads to such classic lines as "Now stepping to the plate, old number 97!".

[BCVM22]

34-Jeff Gray

 

I do not approve of this. What does Jeff Gray think he's doing?
