He mentioned him in the others to watch list, so I doubt it. Maybe one of his sources to compile the list is the guy that hates JayJax

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 9-6-2009
SouthSideRyan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Maybe I have a bad memory, but I seem to recall Iowa regularly signs minor league free agents/journeymen to fill open spots. If required, that shouldn't be any problem this offseason either Thats a problem with this organization. Rather than call someone up, they pick up some 30something journeyman to fill the spot. Same goes in the majors. If theyd trust the farm system more, Aaron Miles, Joey Gathright, and the 2009 edition of Paul Bako never would have had to happen. Every single AAA team signs these guys to fill out the roster. Besides if the Cubs didn't sign these guys, who would you beg for them to call up next year? -
Of course, Iowa drops 15 spots, and Ohio State drops 2 spots after barely beating an arguably worse team. Navy's definitely better than Northern Iowa.
-
I'm afraid they're going to spend on a closer this offseason. Oh I'm quite sure they'll wind up spending money on all sorts of stupid [expletive].(Eating Bradley's contract, Chone, fixing a bullpen that doesn't need fixing)
-
Because he was good for the Cards, and then god awful in San Diego. It turned out great, but everyone thought that was a bad pickup at the time. Even you. viewtopic.php?p=1769606#p1769606 I don't think the original poster's concerns were his ability.
-
Why would you have an issue rooting for Edmonds? He's awesome.
-
How huge was that missed PAT?
-
No to spending money on the bullpen.
-
You can't say they were just running out the clock running dives up the middle and that they were somehow gaining experience from doing so. I'm sure that will really speed up their development. And unless the yahoo play by play is messed up, they went for a pass on 2nd and 6 immediately before the TD run.

Houston Nutt is a jackass.

Why is Snead celebrating like a spaz?
-
Haha, wow.

Cause nobody would care.

Maybe on your Xbox 360 or PS3, there is no human interaction between the same players on the same team. In the real world, these players spend a lot of time together over approximately half of the year. They spend time in cramped dugouts, on team flights, in hotels, etc. You want to pretend that no outside factors can effect a baseball players ability to perform at maximum level, I don't buy it. You want to pretend that how a player feels about one of his teammates somehow affects how he performs in a series of situations not involving said teammate. I don't buy that. Nevermind the fact that nobody on the Cubs has even hinted at not liking Bradley. I think you need to read the posts again. I never said that how a player feels about one player affects how he performs and I never singled out Bradley as the only problem with Cubs chemistry. I said that you would be naive to believe that the overall clubhouse chemistry doesn't have some effect (even if it is small) on players. Just because there is no stat that can measure it doesn't mean that it isn't a factor. What is your reasoning for thinking this team has poor chemistry? Can you give any examples of teams who struggled due to poor chemistry?

The team's priority should be to get better. And I don't think Reyes is overrated by the Mets at all. He along with every other good player on their team is being scapegoated for their disaster this year.

Baseball involves a series of individual events. He's not working on projects with his teammates. He's not taking part in conference calls. He's going up and swinging a bat at pitches that come across the plate. What that has to do with the names somebody else called him in the dugout is beyond me.
-
What the [expletive] was that? This secondary is just horrendous.
-
Anybody have interest in Rhodes to replace Jones?
-
We're without our #1 WR and #1 RB so that's not helping. Our defense is this bad, the offense isn't. Mizzou is probably better than I expected too.
-
Tap out.
-
This reminds me of the Rose Bowl.
-
-
I probably shoulda realized our pass defense would suck since it sucked with Davis on the team last year.
-
So this game's gonna go ahead and follow the same template of the last 2 Missouri games. Great.
