Word is that Cubs 2011 7th round pick 1B-OF Trevor Gretzky's contract was either voided by the Cubs or was rejected by MLB. The signing was officially reported by the Cubs via the MLB eBis system on July 22, but then the Cubs did not place him on a minor league Reserve List within 15 days, as would be required if everything was OK. Whether the contract was voided because of a pre-existing medical condition (like his torn labrum) or rejected by MLB because of the way it was structured, I don't know, but he is back in California and is now considered "unsigned." The Cubs apparently have now turned their attention toward signing 1B Rock Shoulders (25th round draft pick out of Florida State JC/Manatee CC, who supposedly wants 4th or 5th round money to sign), with the signing of 2nd round pick 1B Dan Vogelbach (with an over-slot bonus) expected to be delayed until the deadline (8/15). More from Jim Callis It doesn't necessarily sound like the signing was voided. Callis makes it sound more like MLB is attempting backsies on the announcement. We'll see what happens come 8/15.

Simpson with a scoreless inning. Can't exactly complain about that. Neftali Rosario posting a .364/.404/.591 line after 44 ABs. One other thing worth noting about him is that he turned 18 back on July 22. I'm intrigued.

Z's homer was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Fun fact: Miguel Cairo was once Ryne Sandberg's teammate.

It's hilarious seeing how short Campana is compared to normal people. I'm pretty sure that woman had a few inches on him.

BA Marra's a good signing. The Cubs have had a decent haul at catcher in this draft so far. the real question is did we need so much depth at catcher so early in the draft? I know the cubs preached up the best available approach but clearly pitching is an organizational need while catcher is not with guys like gibbs, clevenger, and castillo hanging around. I think the cubs have done a really good job developing catchers with a minimum of expenditure so why 'waste' a draft pick when there are clearly other areas of need? these guys aren't all guaranteed to continue playing catcher. That, and even if these guys develop into major league players at catcher, they'll have value in the trade market. Having talented depth at a position where talent is scarce in the majors is a good thing.

Yahoo Fantasy compares him to Drew Stubbs (fantasy production wise)....is that at all accurate in real life baseball world? I'm assuming he at least is not gonna steal as many bases. I think there's some merit to it from a fantasy perspective. Assuming Jackson develops as people expect, he should hit for better average and strike out less than Stubbs, but he won't steal as many bases. Power is a bit tricky to predict since Stubbs was a late bloomer and never hit more than 12 HRs in a season in the minors, yet hit 22 last season and currently has 13. I think they'll end up about equal in that department when all is said and done, but Jackson might have it in him to hit 25-30 HRs a season during his peak.

That's more Courage Wolf than Socially Awkward Penguin, imo.

12th rounder Jacob Lindgren announced he will be attending Mississippi State in the fall. Link

It's never happened before, if I remember correctly. The closest MLB has ever come to successfully blocking a signing was back in 2003 with Drew Stubbs and the Astros. MLB can stamp its feet and whine. However, unless something happened in secret, MLB has never actually blocked a team from signing a player.

Corresponding moves: CF Oliver Zapata and RHP Jean Sandoval were promoted from Mesa to Boise. Zapata's one of those guys I like a lot, although I do have to wonder what his upside is considering he's listed at 5'9, 180 pounds. He showed some speed and power down in Mesa, plus his IsoD was an excellent .129, to go with a 15/24 K/BB ratio. He's done quite well for himself as an 18 year old.

He could still be negotiating with the Cubs, or, if a deal has been signed, he legally might not be allowed to discuss the terms of the agreement, much less that he has signed, until the deal has been announced.

BA Marra's a good signing. The Cubs have had a decent haul at catcher in this draft so far.
