Random Cubs Musings

[Clem Fandango]

Only got 73 on the prospects, probably could've done more with more time but I really struggled with the pitchers. Seeing RHP and LHP did nothing to help spur the memory.

 

If there's one thing I did notice it's that it's been a good while since the Cubs had a Top 10 LHP prospect in the system. Had at least two each year between 2003-2007, one in 2008, and none since.

91 and i missed a lot of really blindingly obvious ones

 

Harvey, Dopirak, HJ Lee, Szczur, Flaherty/LeMahieu...i remembered Luke Hagerty, though!

 

i think a few more minutes and i'd have settled on several of these

 

also, i really expected big things from (but forgot here)

 

Jae-kuk Ryu

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I got screwed out of one because I forgot how to spell Pawelek.

[ctcf]

I kept trying to spell Dopirak and somehow never got it.

"@ESPNNFL: In the season after each of NE's first 3 SB wins, an MLB team ended a 40+ year World Series drought (ANA, BOS, CHW).

 

 

Ill leave this here.

Congratulations Cleveland Indians!

To be fair I had to do some digging to find it. But in the process I rediscovered Windy City Football and Second City Hoops!

Could have just asked. There was also 312sports, thesportsradio.com, and a few others.

premium = exclusive access to ducross brothers

I am already bored with spring training and would like some real news.

 

Besides the general anticipation of the dong-beating we are going to lay on the NL Central this year, this ST should be more fun than most because we have a ton of interesting roster decisions to make.

 

If you lay out the roster with just the absolute, 100% no-doubt guys, it's

 

Coghlan/Fowler/Soler (Denorfia/XXXXX)

XXXX/Castro/XXXXX/Rizzo (XXXXX/XXXXX)

Montero (Ross)

 

Lester/Arrieta/Hammel/XXXXX/XXXXX

Rondon/Ramirez/Strop/Motte/XXXXX/XXXXX/XXXX

 

Sweeney is almost certainly the fifth outfielder, but that might take awhile to become official.

 

Once we know what's happening with Baez, the infield sorts itself out.

 

Hendricks is about a 99% lock for the fourth spot in the rotation. The fifth spot is going to be the best part of the spring, and we'll see guys slowly get eliminated leading into the final week or two.

 

Who the hell knows what they'll do with the bullpen.

 

And finally, we pretty much have to do something with Castillo at some point in the spring.

We'll have a lot of games on TV and almost any minor leaguer that is in camp is at least somewhat interesting so the games should be watchable.

I'd pay a lot if that was exclusive access to their tombstones.

For a minute, I thought everyone was trying to do a Festivus takedown two months too late.

I had a friend that thought we could build a sporcle knockoff that had a better UI and gain some market traction.

 

It didn't work.
