    Mac and Spiegs are gonna talk to Florio in a couple min about this issue. Florio? What does he know about anything?

    That's a bummer for a guy who is so far behind the developmental curve at his position.

    It's a song they sing after winning games, so I'm not sure why people hate it so much.

    It makes me wonder how much of this is based on reputation and perception instead of actual results. How much time/ energy do teams spend monitoring what other teams around the league are doing? That's what I mean with the comparison to pitching/hitting coaches in MLB. Every time one is hired we hire about how he is one of the best.

    I take issue with the notion that the Bears scouting staff has been very highly regarded around the NFL for years. This may be like the whole MLB hitting/pitching coach commentary where everybody is a respected expert in his field and therefore they are all good. The staffs that Hatley and Angelo put together originally probably were really good, because in my opinion the Bears in the mid-2000s were the most talented team in the NFC. Even their much maligned QB was very talented. But the talent has been drying up the last several years and that has to reflect on the staff, at least to some extent. They did a piss poor job of bringing in talent probably starting with the 2007 draft at least through the end of the Angelo era.

    Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 5m Duncan Keith is not on the ice for #Blackhawks' morning skate prior to Game 4. His wife is expecting any day so that may be the cause.

    Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 26s Game 5 of #Blackhawks-Wild series on Thursday will start at 8:30 p.m. at the United Center. Brandon, I am sorry you will have to miss this late game.

    Yes. So he was back yesterday (at the latest) and all the reporters were wrong, saying he was AWOL? Sounds like he came back yesterday. Reporters noted he was missing all weekend, not yesterday. Not sure who used AWOL, which is obviously incorrect, as he had leave, technically.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Yes.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I convinced a friend to road trip back from NY for that game.

    So why don't you just say we have a strong indication that he sucks, or the likelihood is that he will suck? And don't pretend it has anything to do with shorthand, because you aren't the least bit interested in brevity on any manner and you are all too willing to spend another 500 words to justify your use of that one.

    That's a shame. It would be nice if guys like Cates emerged to be bullpen fodder at the every least.

    Cubs have to include some pretty good secondary pieces. Other way around. The fact that Castro has cost certainty, at a very affordable/favorable level, and Stanton does not, has to play a big role in their respective values. But Starlin is still probably too expensive for Miami's tastes, plus, after the Guillen fiasco they may not want a Castro on their roster.

    Actually I looked at his last year stats .270 avg, .501 SLG and .827 OPS, which were slightly better than Rizzo last year. Did you look at anything other than this season? If you had then you would know his Minor league totals that are much better than Rizzo's.. Yes, he was awesome his 2nd, 3rd and 4th time through AAA, in his mid - 20s.

    Saw this on my iphone and first thought it was Edwin Jackson's report. Did not compute.

    It's too bad the Cubs can't find a 2B or RF who can get on base. Or at least the RH hitting side of RF who can get on base. Outside of those two positions the Cubs are at least holding their own in comparison to the rest of the league.

    Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman 4m #Bears have hired Ryan Kessenich as a scout. Kessenich spent the last four years as an area scout with the Chiefs. Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman 7m #Bears have promoted Kevin Turks to director of pro personnel and Dwayne Joseph to associate director of pro personnel. The Bears lost a guy to the Chiefs front office and took back another guy. Two seasons in a row with a fair amount of scouting department turnover.

    MLB ‏@MLB 3m ANNOUNCEMENT: Against our better discretion, @RobDelaney will take over the @MLB Twitter account tomorrow from 12-7 PM ET. Retweeted by rob delaney That seems like an interesting couple. He sang the anthem at a Dodgers game, and for those that don't know, he's one of the dirtiest most hilarious people on twitter.

    After Trout and Harper are moved to first I'd like to see Detroit move Verlander there to save his arm.

    Video about a matchup of top NJ pitchers, kind of fluffy and meaningless but you can see a little of each of them throwing. Kaminsky was was ranked 40th on a Keith Law list. http://videos.nj.com/star-ledger/2013/05/video_pitching_aces_mike_shawa.html#incart_m-rpt-2

    I'm not that big on it. But I do think there is potential for negative ramifications when you spend so much time on the extreme losing end of the spectrum.

    You say it yourself right there, he's already a good player even if he does not improve from this point. And the likelihood of him not improving from this point is probably small. I'm not smart like those guys but I'd say I am ecstatic that Castro is a Cub, although not ecstatic with the progression of his career in the near-term past. I am not upset at that progress either, it is fine. He's a young guy who has been forced to be the face of a god awful franchise. I am much more concerned with the progress of the organization under Ricketts/Epstein than I am of Castro's individual progress.
