Yeah. He had his surgery in July 2008 but everything about his rehab seems to have been slow tracked. His recovery reminds me painfully of Luke Hagerty. Hopefully I'm wrong about that. Hagerty was a complete and total disaster coming back from TJS. He had it back in 2003 and pitched a little over 30 innings with the Cubs in the three years following his surgery. Rhee at least has had a number of good starts this year. It's also worth keeping in mind that Rhee's professional high in IP was 40, set two years ago prior to going down because of injury. He's currently at 111 IP. I think Rhee's problem at this point in the season is that his arm isn't used to this sort of stress and strain. He needs to prove he can hold up as a starting pitcher over the course of a season. Unfortunately, outings like these will happen as he builds up his conditioning.

Stop winning! :(

Suck! Suck! Suck!

Last day of the regular season for the Dominican Summer League. While DSL Cubs 1 won their division with the best record in the league, DSL Cubs 2 had the worst record in the league. I believe DSL Cubs 1 get a bye in the playoffs as a result of their record.

Bummer on the PPD for Peoria. Last I saw, Searle was pitching really well.

I emailed BA to get further info on that and received a response that the $4.7m does NOT include Szczur's $500k. The Cubs would move up to 17th on that list with $5.2m if Szczur commits to baseball.

You're conflating international signings and the MLB draft. I'd advise against that. There are enough differences between international signings and the MLB draft that I think those should be discussed separately. davell and myself have spent most of this thread discussing the Cubs' most recent MLB Draft budget, which clocked in at 19th in MLB this year at a little over $4.7m (although I think that number assumes Szczur commits to the Cubs). International signings are another matter altogether; Tim Wilken has nothing do with international scouting. That job belongs to Paul Weaver. While it would be nice to see the Cubs spend more money on big name prospects in the international arena, it's a completely different beast from amateur scouting. I wouldn't use it as an example in favor of thrifty spending when it comes to scouting and signing amateur players. Furthermore, there's a difference between signing one player to a $3m deal and using that $3m to acquire 5-6 players. Having one guy like Nick Castellanos ($3.45m) would be nice. However, having six guys like Ben Wells ($530k) would also be really good.

McNutt was a weird case. Early in the 2009 season, McNutt's stuff was unremarkable. All the scouts who saw him mentioned he was pitching in the 80s with flat breaking stuff. However, for whatever reason, the Cubs' scout who was responsible for McNutt's geographic area left the organization. By the time the Cubs got that scout's replacement, it was late in the evaluation process and he was getting caught up on the players in the area. At that point, he went to see McNutt and found McNutt working in the 90s with a sharp breaking ball. No other team knew about these improvements (I think with the exception of the Twins). If they did, McNutt probably would have gone in the first 5 rounds. Now...you might be thinking of Hayden Simpson, since you mentioned the Angels. The story on that was the Angels had five picks between the Cubs' first and second round picks. With that many picks in the 1st round and 1st supplemental round, the Angels were looking for guys they could take at some of those picks for under or around slot in order to save some money. Apparently the Angels were hot after Simpson and would have taken him with one of those picks. Both the Cubs and Angels were hot after Simpson late in his season, when he was pitching well and looked sharp. That was especially helpful, considering Simpson is not a big guy and there were concerns about his endurance. At that point, Simpson was somewhere in the 3rd round to 6th round range, from the reports I've read. It wasn't like with Colvin in 2006, when Colvin got a huge dose of helium prior to the draft and probably would have been taken in the back half of the first round. In other words, Simpson wasn't like McNutt. He was a known commodity and teams had evaluated him accordingly. We'll see how that pans out. I'm rooting for the guy given the amount of animosity that pick received, but the Cubs were rightly criticized for picking Simpson where they did.

I would, actually, but not because they spent $2m to get him. A Latin American arm worth $1m would be pretty special; that's more than some first round draft picks get. Basically, by saying the guy is worth $1m, the Cubs are saying he has the potential to develop into a top of the rotation starter or a closer. That's special for someone who's 16/17. If the Cubs feel that he's worth $1m and he has the leverage to ask for $2m and get it from some other team, then I wouldn't have a problem with that sort of signing. Now, from the spirit of your post, I'm guessing you're talking about spending money for the sake of spending money; i.e. if the Cubs randomly decide a player is only worth $50,000 and end up giving him $2m just so they can say they spent in the draft. Judging from what some other posters have said and what I have said, that is not at all what we are arguing the Cubs should do. We're saying the Cubs need to spend money in order to obtain high end talent and bolster the farm system. The Cubs are not a small market team that needs to pinch pennies. Cripes, even some of those teams actually spend in the draft compared to the Cubs (Pirates, Royals, etc.). Highly talented players with a lot of leverage cost money and the fact of the matter is, the Cubs rarely draft those sorts of players. This is a team that has the revenue streams and the resources to spend the money needed to develop a consistently high quality farm system, rather than a farm system that relies on lottery tickets. For the draft, all it would take is another $2m-$3m a year. That would make all the difference in the world. I'd rather the team spend that money on the draft than on miserably overrated relief pitchers.

Derrick Rose is a lucky man. http://media.cnbc.com/i/CNBC/Sections/News_And_Analysis/__Story_Inserts/graphics/__SPORTS/MISCELLANEOUS/skittles_machine_225.jpg

To me, that signals an attitude on ownership's part, rather than on the scouting department's part. Yes, it very well could be possible that Wilken runs his draft such that the Cubs can get the most out of guys who are unknown, slumping, injured, whatever, and are willing to sign deals for around slot. However, the more likely answer is that Wilken has been given a certain budget for the draft and has been told to draft according to it. With resources so tight, Wilken's best bet is to take the aforementioned approach. Given a $4m budget, signing a first rounder to a $3m bonus would effectively cripple the rest of the Cubs' draft. I think Wilken deserves a lot of credit...but I'm concerned about taking a scaled back approach like this. Yes, Wilken finds his share of diamonds in the rough. The problem is, there usually is a very good reason why players are unknown or slumping. That reason is: those players suck. Trey McNutt managed to slide under the scouting radar, but he was the exception, not the rule. Go back and look through Wilken's first two drafts with the Cubs; they're not pretty. When you draft players in this way, it's incredibly easy to undermine the depth in your system. Occasionally you'll hit the jackpot (see: 2008's draft), but most of the time, you'll be lucky to get one, maybe two quality prospects out of the draft. Now, the Cubs have done a reasonable job of augmenting their drafts with international signings and trades during Wilken's tenure. However, if the international signing budget also goes down...this team's farm system will be in deep trouble.

...actually, that's not true. Last year was the big haul with five six figure signings from the Pac Rim and one from Latin America. This year, there have been only two guys fitting that bill in Cuban defector RHP Juan Yasser Serrano and Korean RHP Jin-Yeong Kim (who reportedly got a $1.2m bonus). It may just be a down year in the international market, but the Cubs have spent less this year compared to last year.

Esmailin Caridad with his first outing back following his injury. He didn't do so well for the AZL Cubs, but hopefully he can regain his prospect status.

Did it say somewhere that they thought they could recall Hoff? Sullivan reported that Hoff was on his way to the airport and had to be called back. The level of incompetency in this organization has reached a new level. Oh for the love of God.

Thanks. I think Castillo/Chirinos/Clevenger/et al. could put up numbers at or slightly above that range for catcher...but, wow would that be painful for the offense.

Out of curiosity, where did you get those numbers? I'm curious about what the rate stats for catchers look like.

Did it say somewhere that they thought they could recall Hoff? The initial reports following the Lee trade said Hoffpauir would get called up. It's unclear whether those reports originated with the Cubs or were just speculation.

This article is a rather fascinating read on the money handed out in this year's draft. Towards the end of the article, the author posted a chart on signing bonuses handed out in the first five rounds. I think it'll help put the Cubs' draft into context compared to how other teams spent. Keeping in mind the number does not include Szczur's $500k bonus if he chooses baseball over football, the Cubs ranked 25th in MLB in signing bonuses in the first five rounds. Should Szczur commit, the Cubs would vault to 21st. As things stand now, all of the teams behind the Cubs signed 4 or less draft picks in the first five rounds (and the Mariners could still sign James Paxton). I'm guessing the Cubs will be in the bottom third in draft spending when all is said and done. Yuck.

This is where AZ Phil usually comes in handy, but he hasn't posted any updates on the AZL Cubs since July 28th.

You still run into the problem that there are very few worthwhile catchers in free agency this year. Soto at 1B would also hurt Soto's value substantially since his bat is premium-level for a catcher, but only somewhat above average at 1B. Even if Castillo could hit at an average level for a catcher, I don't think that would help the offense. It's better to have an average 1B and an elite catcher than two average to slightly above average players at 1B and C.

I definitely like the other options, but Rendon is the only one I think has franchise changing possibilities. Given his injury history, I worry about his future. I just have visions of the Cubs selecting him, he becomes the #1 prospect in baseball over a year and a half-long stint in the minors, he has a three month stretch with the Cubs after his callup where his OPS is over 1.000...and then he shatters a femur when an errant piano falls on him.
