Random Cubs Musings

You know, when you guys post pictures like that, it'd be really helpful to tell us who the hell the people in it are. Not all of us immediately recognize everyone in the entire organization. Thanks!

Lol I mean, I can understand not knowing what Christian Villanueva looks like, but how do you follow the Cubs and not know what Javier Baez looks like?

[Sammy Sofa]

By never seeing a picture of him.

Well, obviously, but idk I'd just think that if you cared enough about the Cubs to post here you probably at least googled the hope of the franchise at least once.

I would recognize his slash line on a spreadsheet.

And yet, here we are.

I could google him 10 times and still not recognize him on the 11th.

Also, he's usually wearing a hat in every picture and he's kinda not in this one.

if you've never cared to figure out what javier baez looks like before today, then you shouldn't care if someone didn't properly identify him in this random photo.

[Sammy Sofa]

Truth.

[A New Era]

if you've never cared to figure out what javier baez looks like before today, then you shouldn't care if someone didn't properly identify him in this random photo.

 

Or at least, asked nicer.

Well, it was the 2nd time today somebody posted a random picture of Cubs minor leaguers and of the 5 guys pictured, I could identify 1 because his name was visible on his jersey. Yes, I certainly could have been more polite about it.

Kinda blows my mind that somebody could not identify Javy Baez at this point...at least on here.

 

Then again, I had no idea who the hell Starlin Castro was as late as April 2010.

I've gone out of my way to see the guy play in person. I'm well aware of who he is, but not dressed in a baseball uniform and in a random shot on a snowy Wrigley Field, I kind of thought it was probably him but wasn't close to sure. And I had no idea who the dude with the bu font was.

[Derwood]

I literally don't know what nationality/skin color most of our top prospects are. Then again, I don't think I've ever posted in the Minor League forum ever

Thank you for that. ;)

[Banedon]

I didn't know who they were either, but figured someone would eventually clue me in. Success!

Here's hoping this one ends better than Brett Jackson's re-worked swing story of last spring/winter...

 

Jesse Rogers @ESPNChiCubs

And Mike Olt says all injuries are behind him. Not declaring he'll win 3rd base job though but wants it

It was this point @MLBBruceLevine informed him he was talking to a coat rack.

Yes, we see "Jesse Rogers" right there in the quoted tweet.

@sahadevsharma: Passan talking about his Cubs column on ESPN 1000 right now. He's saying his point wasn't that the Cubs should spend just to spend...

 

@sahadevsharma: Sounds like Passan is saying that when he talks to others around baseball, FO isn't getting the $ they expected to get when they were hired.

 

@sahadevsharma: Passan says that's not solely re a budget for players but also for many of the things we don't see on the field, like research & development

 

@sahadevsharma: Passan said that Cubs will have funds when TV deal comes and with Wrigley reno, but that doesn't matter unless Ricketts changes his stance

 

@sahadevsharma: Passan says Ricketts stance is he won't spend until the Cubs start winning. Which obviously puts way too much pressure on Bryant, Baez, etc

[CubsWin]

What I want to know is why are they playing rock, paper, scissors in the snow?
