Too bad about Dopirak getting the ax. I always had this dream of him hitting Waveland a few times. Ping, where do you find these releases? Are you a " source " ?
After all the hype about all the progress the Cubs have made in the Asian market, it looks like all we have is Fukudome and an 18 yr old pitcher named Dae Eun Rhee.
Could Preston Wilson be an option to play 40 games in CF against leftys? He is still a FA. I know he had a knee injury last year. Wonder if he is totally recovered? .
I have been waiting for the Cubs announcement on their minor lge managers and coaches. I thought they are usually announced at the Winter Meetings. I know the Cubs will need a new pitching coach at Iowa. Mike Harkey is the new bullpen coach for the Yanks.
Have I been sleeping? I thought Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Zambrano, and Jeff Samardzija all have complete no trade clauses in their contracts.
As I look at the roster, I only see 14 signed players. I am sure a few extra bodies will be added for training camp. Has anyone heard who they will be?
