    It will never happen.

    Why do you think they have been giving him extra days off? So other teams cannot expose him as fast. Give me a break. Overall, he's pitched ok. He's comming back from shoulder surgery. he probably won't be 100% for awhile. It it what it is. Right now he is a shell of his former self. Do you honestly think he's going to get at 100% during midseason? I'm going to go on record and say resigning him would be a bad idea unless it is for very cheap. This is like April for Wood. It's what, his 4th start? Resigning him is another issue.

    Wood has no command of his breaking pitches. Right now I'm not too worried. He's pitching like it's April and for his body it is.

    Wandy has a fivehead.

    I was just going to post something to that effect. Len mentioned he's hitting a buck fifty against lefties. It's b/c they keep pitching him away. I wonder how much Lee's absence has affected his approach. As bad as Clines & Co. appear to be that have to notice this. They just have to. At least he's playing good D.

    I present you Juan-Antonio-Pierre Womack He hits .270/320/436 and he plays "rover"

    IMO, he would be crazy to play football over baseball. Football contracts are not guarenteed, unless he is a top 5 WR he won't make that much money, his carrer is likely to be much shorter, even bad starting pitchers make $4 mill a year. I guess more money up-front (potentially) but much less money over the course of a career. If the Cubs give him 1st round money or close to it, it would be hard to turn down. An NFL player's contract is no less of a guarantee than a pitching prospects career turning out. Mike Williams got a $10m signing bonus as the 10th pick last year for Detroit, and the salary cap has gone up considerably since then. He will get far more guaranteed up front money in football than in baseball, and it won't take nearly as much time for him to sign his next contract, (assuming he works out in either). And the likelihood of a top football prospect succeeding dwarfs that of a pitching prospect. Yes, I just read your discussion with 1908 in the other thread. I don't follow football that closely so I had no idea that football players made that much money. I suppose it will depend on how much the Cubs are willing to pony up with the dough. What do you think are his chances of signing with the Cubs? If he doesn't sign it will be a wasted pick, with their second pick no less.

    First round money and letting him play football doesn't strike me as the greatest of plans. It's not like WR's ever get injured... :wink: and he is a pitcher, getting tackled and having your sholder driven into the ground is great for your fastball Unless he's soft, he should get up and go right back to throwing 94. hahahahahahahahha!
  11. CubinNY
    According to the dudes on XM his power hasn't returned from last year. He definately hurt himself by not signing last year.
  12. CubinNY
    Techincally, Pawelek had two starts last season in Boise and Grant was a second rounder. The Cubs have a long and dark history of 1st round picks.
  13. CubinNY
    That makes a bit of sense. Gonna need a lot of money to woo Jeff. Is this kid from ND worth the Money?
  14. CubinNY
    I hope this kid turns into the best outfielder ever, but taking him is not refreshing. This draft was stocked with very good college pitchers and a few hitter from college and high school. Colvin was not among them. He was in the bottom 1/3 of of the top 200 prospects from Baseball America. Baseball America rarely gets things wrong. Before the Cubs took him he was likely to go in the 3rd to 5th round.
  15. CubinNY
    He's "projectable", scoutspeak for the objective data say one thing but the subjective data (body type, stance, swing, size) say another. Maybe the Cubs think he would have gotten drafted before the 5th round and he has a lot of potential? Basically, we're all nuts for loving this organization.
  16. CubinNY
    Maybe he'll stay for his senior year. stupid wishing for miracles.
  17. CubinNY
    WOW. And a Left fielder no less. I really wanted to be happy with this pick. I hope he develops.
  18. CubinNY
    So another high risk/high reward pick.
  19. CubinNY
    Wasn't Wilkens supposed to have some moderating effect on Hendry???
  20. CubinNY
    I wanted the Cubs to draft either one of those two. But I wanted Snider most.
  21. CubinNY
    Detriot is absolutely stocked with young pitching.
  22. CubinNY
    Appearently not that long.
  23. CubinNY
    How long do they take between picks?
  24. CubinNY
    Trade him to Florida.
  25. CubinNY
    Or go into a roid rage and beat up Hendry.
