Probable Starters Iowa: Esmailin Caridad Tennessee: Casey Coleman Daytona: James Leverton Peoria: Chris Archer Boise: Robert Whitenack

I find it funny that, for all the guff Starlin Castro gets for his errors, a lot of people have given Hak-Ju Lee a pass for the same thing.

Nope. He's a lot of fun to watch in person.

Moving to #15 could be huge if Ricketts wants to open the checkbook. Go Nats. why not try to sneak in the top 10? Once a team reaches the Top 15, that team will not lose its first round draft pick for a Type A free agent. Having a Top 10 pick would be nice, but 15 is the magic number for free agent spending.

Looks like Bautista's in Peoria.

I'm sure the Cubs will use that pick on a great player that will be a 12 time all-star and hall of famer. That's what usually happens with the Cubs high draft picks, right? They've hit on the past few it seems, so maybe we'll keep it up.

I like this whole "tank for a high draft pick" idea. We need to keep it up!

Weird move. Wonder if a college education in Korea was part of his contract?

It's been nice knowing you.

Right.

Kissing Suzy Kolber

Whoops. I read that as Cashner.

Having a 38/24 K/BB in 45.3 IP is not astonishing. While he has had some very nice outings with Tennessee, he's also had his share of clunkers and hasn't had a dominating start since August 3rd. I'm beginning to wonder if this is just a bump in the road or if this is indicative of something else.

He's a football guy. I wonder if this qualifies for FJM. Kissing Suzy Kolber rips him to shreds every week. It's not as good as FJM, but it has its moments. Also, I love this video of Peter King at the Red Sox game. I think those shorts can be used as a 6 person tent.

Should get through without a hitch. Bankruptcy Court judges are usually incredibly passive and the creditors would be buffoons to block this sale since it would substantially devalue the franchise and cut them off from a source of payments.

BA confirmed the Nick Struck signing.

breach of contract? playing pickup softball is breach of contract? I'd like to hear this. It could easily be. These guys have clauses in their contracts that ban them from participating in all sorts of physical activities. Teams don't generally call them out on it, even if the activity leads to an injury, but it's in there. The magic word "waiver" comes to mind if he's done this stuff before and the Cubs never called him on it..

That's the first I've heard about him having questionable range to his left.

I still say we can find a way to blame it on Dusty.

Brett Jackson leads off with a triple and is subsequently singled home by Flaherty.

Not picking on you, but why does everyone on this board assume we can sign the guy to a 1-year deal? He's stayed healthy all season and has been absolutely dominant in the second half. He's going to get some 2- and 3-year offers from teams in the offseason. Hence why you offer him arbitration. If he wants a long term deal, he'll walk away and the Cubs will get two draft picks.
