The Cubs' draft position is now projected for 8th, behind Houston, Minnesota, Baltimore, Seattle, San Diego, Kansas City and Pittsburgh. With just 8 games remaining, it's extremely unlikely the Cubs will climb any higher than 5th or fall any lower than 11th, despite mathematically still being able to climb to 2nd or fall to 17th.

I'm still not understanding why those above Quade allow him to keep Colvin on the bench. Not that I think Colvin is a realistic option for an everyday outfielder, but I am pretty sure the Cubs know what they have in Soriano and Byrd.

It is strongly frowned upon for front office types to tell a manager who to play. There's nobody with any real power in the Cubs front office to pull off such a move anyway.

It really isn't that smart to bench Soriano and Byrd too often either. Those are guys that the Cubs are counting on next year as well and getting them upset isn't the right way to do that. Soriano has had 4 days off already in Septmber and Byrd has had 3. That's a lot for them. Colvin's in a tough spot. His at-bats against right-handers have been taken by LaHair, and it doesn't do him much good to play mostly against left-handers. Add to that he hasn't really proven that he deserves more at-bats (he had time in AAA to prove that and failed) and it's just been hard to get him in there.

I'm still not understanding why those above Quade allow him to keep Colvin on the bench. Not that I think Colvin is a realistic option for an everyday outfielder, but I am pretty sure the Cubs know what they have in Soriano and Byrd.

 

It really isn't that smart to bench Soriano and Byrd too often either. Those are guys that the Cubs are counting on next year as well and getting them upset isn't the right way to do that. Soriano has had 4 days off already in Septmber and Byrd has had 3. That's a lot for them. Colvin's in a tough spot. His at-bats against right-handers have been taken by LaHair, and it doesn't do him much good to play mostly against left-handers. Add to that he hasn't really proven that he deserves more at-bats (he had time in AAA to prove that and failed) and it's just been hard to get him in there.

 

Do you really think veterans like Byrd and Soriano really care this late into the season if they are playing or not?

Of course not, they just want to roll around in a big pool of money and pleasure themselves to a massive portrait of Jim Hendry.
