    So Jim makes argueably the trade of the year, then makes a very stupid move by sending Marshall back down. Guess they cancell eachother out. marshall definately deserves much better.

    roids.

    Nice to see Castillo back after a brief stent on the DL.
  4. dlocks
    Brian Fuentes your table is ready? Boy that'd be really nice to have!

    Hopefully it will give Luis Bautista a chance to show what he can do. Does anyone else think that Donaldson was included in the deal based on how Wellington Castillo has progressed recently? Or is it just me? Its not like Donaldson was putting up good numbers at all anyways, but still.........

    Call me crazy, but getting Gauden in this deal was a GREAT move by jim. He is a guy we can use in many ways, either as a 6th inning guy, setup guy, or even a starter. Great job Jim! You're the man!

    I highly doubt he'll be on the team this year. I'll keep saying it till I go blue, I hope he starts. I respectfully disagree. His numers as a closer are much better than a starter. His velocity spiked as a closer, and proved he didn't have what it takes to be a starter in college. I would like to see the cubs mold him in the papelbon kinda way and I think he definately has what it takes. Papelbon was a starter in the minors (after being a closer in college). Whether he ends up a reliever in the big leagues, he needs to start to get the innings to work on his offspeed pitch. And we don't know if his velocity spiked just because of the shorter innings or if also because he filled in/got stronger (he was 5'9" when he graduated HS, now 6'6"). Starting to work on his secondary stuff would be a great way to at least see if the improved stuff was just due to relieving or not. Correct me if I'm wrong Raisin, but IIRC Isn't Cashner's slider said to be very very good, if not already major league ready? Starting his career in the rotation of a minor league team might be a good idea, but if his fastball and slider are already major league ready, and don't have much room for improvement, then I think the Pen is just fine for now.

    http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2008/07/cubs-sign-first.html Definately good news! I also hear on the Boise broadcast that Shafer signed for 650,000 and has reported to Mesa.
  10. dlocks
    That foul ball went about 450 feet. Holy crap!
  11. dlocks
    Vitters grounded out to short in his first AB.
  12. dlocks
    Nifty. Are both going to Boise? The reporter (Steve Holly from Inside the Ivy) only said that Shafer would report to Mesa on Thursday, and the info on Cashner mentioned above.
  13. dlocks
    That was indeed the case! Both Shafer and Cashner have agreed to terms. Cashner will officially sign wednesday, and Shafer actually signed today! cashner will throw a bullpen for Larry Friday at Wrigley, and will be on WGN for an interview with len and Bob! Definately good news!
  14. dlocks
    On the pregame of the Boise game the announcer said that Breaking News will be announced sometime during the game that may affect the Boise roster. I'm guessing that Cashner has just signed!
  15. dlocks
    Ceda has really put up some great numbers sense being promoted to AA. I really like him in the bullpen, and not as a starter. 17 K's and 2 walks in AA so far and a 1.50 ERA is very promising.
  16. dlocks
    its all but done now :( I'm gonna go hide under a rock and cry now. http://castrovince.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/07/cc_to_the_brew_crew_done_deal.html

    Whats up with Ju Lee only having 14 AB's? Is he hurt?
  18. dlocks
    I'll be at this one!!!! GO CUBS GO!
  19. dlocks
    As muc as I've heard, "Its just all in his head and mechanical issues" I really just can't believe this. There almost MUST be a physical problem. I feel horrible for Rich.
  20. dlocks
    No errors from Josh tonight!........... Its still rather early though.
  21. dlocks
    BUST I wonder what the Boise record for longest hitting streak to start a season? Josh must be getting close.
  22. dlocks
    Congrats to The Don, and Wellington. I hope to see them both at Iowa sooner rather than later.
  23. dlocks
    I don't see why putting Vitters in Peoria right now is a no brainer. He's just now finding his swing for the first time in his pro career. You know he's got to be feeling very confident. He's only 19. Let him finish the year in Boise, and put up some very good numbers, then play everyday next year in Peoria.
  24. dlocks
    Gallagher, Veal, Patterson, Wellington Castilo, Colvin should get it done IMO. We'll see though. I don't see who the Indians turn that down if its proposed by the cubs. Things the next 2 weeks will be very interesting. I can see a deal made any day now.
  25. dlocks
    Thanks for the update Mr. Cashner. Do you plan on signing any time soon?
