A day after making his pro debut in Mesa, Micah Gibbs is DHing for Boise.

Thomas Diamond and Darwin Barney made the PCL All Star team.

BA posted profiles on each team for the upcoming signing period. The Cubs fell into the following category: Their profile of the Cubs mentioned the Cubs having some interest in Venezuelan CF Yorman Garcia and also said the Cubs figure to continue being players in the Pacific Rim. For those of you interested, BA thinks Garcia will probably get a bonus in the high six figures, as he offers fantastic athleticism and could be a plus defender in CF, although his bat needs work.

Matt Szczur just signed...albeit in Jeff Samardzija-like fashion.

Raley's had a handful of impressive outings. Those have been outweighed by the bad ones and the mediocre ones, though.

If the Cardinals couldn't bring him back from oblivion, no one can.

I say the Cubs should hire someone to write a managerial computer program. I think that would cause massive coronaries for at least half the jackoffs working for ESPN.

Soto?

Looks like the two prospects I was following with the DSL Cubs 2 team (OF Delbis Arcila and SS Marco Hernandez) both got moved over to DSL Cubs 1. Hopefully that's a good sign for their status as potential prospects.

Apparently you haven't read the articles about Z's punishment. MLB and the player's association agreed that Z be placed on the restricted list pending completion of treatment. This isn't Jim Hendry's call. And I think this puts to rest any questions over how Hendry handled this including the other MLB exec. stating that Z would be back with the Cubs by Wednesday. Clearly there is more to Z's suspension than just what was caught on TV. How is it not Jim Hendry's call? Either him or someone from the Front Office who answers to him went to MLB and the Player's Association, told them they wanted to place Z on the restricted list while having him seek mental help, and the MLB & Player's association signed off on it.

Casey Lambert got the start for the AZ Cubs.

On overall prospect lists!? That'd be kind of crazy. He definitely has it in him to be a Top 10/Top 20 guy, though.

So, the pattern I'm seeing for the Cubs in three game series this season is lose the first two game in horrific fashion, then win the third game by scoring lots of runs.

For those of you who missed Heinze smacking the cameraman: Link

Goal of the tourney. Almost as good as Rodriguez's goal in their 2006 WC matchup, imo.
