8th rounder RHP Jake Muyco has the best shot of any 2005 Cubs draftee to come up and play for the Cubs...despite the fact that he was drafted as a catcher.

Any thoughts on who might get sent directly to Boise after signing? The obvious ones are the early-ish college guys and some of the JuCo guys if they sign - Simpson, Gibbs, Ackerman, Szczur, Rhoderick, Jokisch, LePage, Soto, Brooks, Pinckard, Fitzgerald and Cuneo. Man, they only have 2 2010 draft picks right now. It's worth pointing out that most signees end up in Arizona for a brief stay shortly after signing. For example, Brett Jackson and DJ LeMahieu spent three games apiece in the AZL last season after they signed.

You sure about Leverton to the I-Cubs? Supposedly he's joining Daytona, but the report could be wrong.

Boise officially released their roster today and 28th rounder Joseph Zellers is on it.

I'm looking forward to getting into obnoxious arguments with Nebraska fans over which team has a better claim to the color red.

Fed Ex reportedly willing to pony up $10m to get Memphis into a new conference.

Added him to the main page. I also put a space for NDFA signings.

So, what's the Big Ten's next move? Going hard after Notre Dame while maintaining discussions with Pitt/Rutgers?

Plus, that would go a long way towards quieting all of the discontent over the BCS. Every year, someone from the MWC or from Boise State whines about not having a shot at a BCS bowl or the national championship because of the way the system is configured. With Boise State in the MWC and the MWC getting a hypothetical BCS bid, some of the pressure against the BCS would lessen substantially.

Boise's roster should be announced soon (hopefully tonight, probably tomorrow), considering the team is flying into Boise on Tuesday. It'd be nice to know what other draftees the Cubs have signed, considering there's only been one confirmed name so far.

Tennessee: -Tennessee Smokies placed LHP Dustin Sasser on the DL -RHP Oswaldo Martinez assigned to Tennessee Smokies from Daytona Cubs

The Cubs definitely made a run at him, but between his demands and his really strong commitment to Vanderbilt, they weren't going to get him signed without some ludicrous deal.

I'm continuing to wonder if anyone knows what the hell they're doing with the farm system.

Apparently Jeff Samardzija is back to starting for Iowa, as he started and went 4 IP today.

Club Fed is still preparing its invitation.

Two Cubs made the 6/11 Hot Sheet

Which makes me wonder, where does Fukudome fit into this whole BCB rumor?
