No way a RB with a 4.6 goes in the second round, what are you thinking

I agree. If Gallagher is throwing strikes and making them miss this spring, he could start the year at AAA, but it may take an injury or a poor performance from someone else to get there. The Cubs potentially have Guzman, Marshall, Mateo, Shaver, Mathes, Wells & Marmol (both of whom could also start in AA) all competing for rotation spots in Iowa. Shaver and Mathes put up decent numbers at AA last season and logged about twice as many starts there as Wells, Marmol or Gallagher. Either or both of Shaver and Mathes could be moved to the bullpen to make room, I suppose... Good problems to have. Agreed. And think about in a couple years when we have a few more guys ML ready, all these pitching prospects will start to pay off.

It always amazes me to see a 6'7 OT put up 225 30+ times. That's a long way to push a bar.

If she keeps searching under the couch with her back at that angle, she will have posture problems for the rest of her life.

Spring training games don't count. They should. In that case, im not going to be in the pool. Hey, you "mind as well" pick another date, at least.

Yeah, whoever wrote that article sort of added the whole "its better than striking out!" thing on their own, that wasn't Perry.

Are you kidding? "2 yr wonder Wood" has had more than two good years and he was under a longterm contract which is why the team has been patient with him. Kerry Wood wouldn't have survived this long without a tremendous upside. Wade Miller's age, risk level, and small contract make him easily expendable. Add to that diminishing stuff and its a recipe for getting released. what is he 30 now? Do you remember when he was in contention for the Cy Young? risk Level? He pitched five games last year, not much to judge a man on. Kerry is coming in with a torn shoulder, and he over-ruled doctors, he definetly has a risk value and now a low contract. I see Wade as a guy that will get traded and be another Denise Eckersly, but not with the drinking problem. LOL, Wade Miller was never in any serious contention for the Cy Young! He's a year older than Wood and like I said, Kerry was under contract and the fact that he is homegrown comes into play as well. Wade Miller is very easily expendable. Wood's decision to rehab instead of surgery is probably a wise choice. He said he spoke with other players who successfully completed shoulder rehabs instead of going under the knife. Miller does not equal Dennis Eckersly Hope I don't sound too snobby but this is a guy ,wood, who has no formal education beyond High School he has been treated like a spoiled superstar since high school. I can't see an upside to a guy that hasn't finished a season in a cpl of years, home grown or not I got a gut feeling he will let us down again and be on injured list by July. Wood could make it through spring training that one year before his arm went out. I was at that spring training game when it went out, as well as the week before. Wood didn't hustle a bit. Soul searching may just tell me that I like Miller over Wood because of first impressions or it could be because he is injury proned and we payed the smuck 12 mill to sit on last years bench. Christ, you can't spell your name without a box of alphabits nearby, but you're bringing up his education? Yes, the "smuck" was "payed" 12 "mill", but that is the risk with pitchers. We've "payed" Miller more money than me or you will ever see to pitch terribly, what's the difference?

I'm sorry, please elaborate on the mechanics of some other crappy pitcher we don't care about

HE'S A PITCHER FOR GOD'S SAKE

i could see arroyo by himself allowing 30 more runs than he did last year. same innings I was gonna say, Harang and Arroyo could easily regress 40 runs

Carlos Beltran Carlos Lee Vernon Wells Michael Young Mariano Rivera Matsui Weeks Jeff Kent Beltre Randy Johnson Piazza Beckett Dempster Javier Vazquez there you go

so you dont even know who you've picked?

Are we going to do a running commentary of the draft? that should be good. <--Hail Cesar.

With their payroll if the Cubs fail to contend in a league this crummy then Hendry should be shot out of a cannon Do you honestly believe every single one of those predictions and believe there will not be one single 90-win team in the whole darn league? The Mets were the only 90 win team in the NL last year. Its not far fetched.

Jesus christ, is Lindsey Hunter in his 25th year in the league, or what?

Tayshaun shanks both of them, should probably get Duhon off the court.

Why would Duhon take that shot? Terrible.

high A, low A, AAA, high A, AAA ?
