Ugh. You're still here? -
For what purpose? If participation dwindles they may be forced to do it someday out of a lack of viable bodies to field a team, but I don't think there are "too many". It just feels like a lot of hoops to jump through to even start your 6 year clock. Even if a player "speeds through" the minors (i.e. 2-3 years from draft to majors), you're talking about a player waiting 8 or 9 years before free agency. No other major sport has such a long wait. Also, how many of the players at AFL/Short-A are viable prospects? How many warm bodies are floating in the minors? No other sport (outside of hockey, which has its own convoluted system of Junior/Minor league teams) has so many tiers of prospects below the big leagues Consolidating dominican summer leagues, short season ball and low A into one isn't going to make the journey to the big leagues any shorter. Guys don't take that long to break into the majors because it is mandatory to play at each level.

I can’t help but feel we’re close to being a dominate contender, close to the Dodgers level. I can also see this team imploding too if one or two things go wrong. This is kind of a weird team Adbert and Kimbrel showing up and consistently kicking ass would go a long, long way to making the former happen. #DominateContender

Hendricks to IL, Shoulder Inflammation
jersey cubs fan replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
they're already kind of backtracking on this. sounds like he could be out for a while. Where did you see this? Maddon was on the score today and downplaying it. Said Hendricks felt a little something in LA, he was open about it and they sent him back out for his final inning then decided to pull him. They were "abundantly cautious" I believe was the term and caught it early and didn't seem too worried. In fact he said if this was September/October/Playoffs Hendricks would be pitching still, but since there's a lot of season left they want him back to 100% and think it won't take long to get there. -
Asst GM is just a weird title in football in general. Most teams seem to have just embraced the "Director" titles. What does he actually do? He assists the GM. Duh.

Willy has the 3rd most PA among catchers in all of baseball. It's never going to be 4 days on 1 day off. Last year he took 69.6% of the Cubs PA at catcher. He has taken 73.9% this season.

He probably has some made up “ambassador” job with the White Sox or something he’s using as a technicality. Or he just thinks he’s so important that any time he talks baseball that counts as still working in it. sounds like some participation trophy [expletive] -
