Cubs announce LED board and patio in RF bleachers for 2012
David posted a topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Bruce Miles @BruceMiles2112 7m Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Patio deck coming to RF corner at Wrigley with 70 foot LED board with up to date stats. #Cubs Carrie Muskat @CarrieMuskat 9m Reply Retweet Favorite · Open #Cubs announce new patio deck in RF bleachers at Wrigley. Will add 70-foot LED board Hope there are some renderings soon. EDIT - http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2012-01/143848720-14145520.gif and some more info I posted this below, but it's, in fact, for 2012. -
Looks like it. The #Mariners are moving closer to a trade for a young impact hitter, two baseball sources confirmed. It's a "significant trade,'' says one source. And Brandon League is not part of the return package. 6:36pm: The trade could involve Michael Pineda and Yankees prospect Jesus Montero, as Larry Stone of the Seattle Times has heard "rumblings in that direction" (Twitter link).

I know many here aren't fond of Yellon (I guess I have never gone on his site nearly enough to form such an opinion), but this is sort of interesting. http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2011/12/26/2657568/bcb-interview-tom-ricketts-part-1 a snippet

Would have to be a team that knows its FIP stuff, I'd imagine. Would be nice if we can get something of any value for his one year. Maybe the prospect of terrible-ness for next year would convince him to waive his NTC. http://bostonglobe.com/sports/2011/12/25/mlb-teams-haven-finished-shopping-yet/iOGLcnsZiDw6H3pC22tKCM/story.html

Bruce Miles @BruceMiles2112 Close Dave McKay rounds out #Cubs coaching staff. They finally make it official by naming Chris Bosio pitching coach and Jamie Quirk bench coach.

The 1984 discussion in the McD's thread is sort of making me want to buy this Cubs DVD set just to watch some of those older games/highlights. http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Cubs-Legends-Great-Collectors/dp/B000NO23ZS Anyone have it? Worth it? Any others that would be worth looking into? Maybe that 2008 documentary thing...did that ever come out? EDIT - that amazon link shows one called We Believe and another one called Forever Loyal as similar items. The 2008 might be one of these, I guess. Probably the We Believe one.

As much as I hate Kaplan, I'm excited to see this. There's a little tidbit at the link about Wrigley too. http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/cubs-talk/post/Ricketts-on-pursuit-of-Theo-Kenneys-futu?blockID=602506&feedID=9399

Not going to quote any of it here. It's definitely an interesting read, to say the least. http://deadspin.com/5861982/ Some of the content is definitely not work safe.

Things have slowed down a bit here lately so I figure we're all glad to take whatever we can get in terms of hot stove talk. Lots of stuff in here, didn't want to bury it in any one thread, especially when he's commenting on stuff all over the place. Just going to post some of the interesting answers. At least Levine seems to grasp this concept that the rest of our local journalists don't.

The other one was about draft related stuff, so I figure we can use this as a place to post about the new agreement as details begin to come out. Here's some news on the FA rankings.

We've heard a lot of talk from the new front office about a need to build a team here that can win whether the wind is blowing in or out at home. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-1112-hoyer-cubs-chicago--20111112,0,3167361.story It looks like achieving this high level of lineup versatility is going to be a major priority. Thoughts on how it'll be done? Seems like you need lots of well rounded players...some power/obp guys... some speed (er, more accurately, high efficiency base stealers)/obp guys... and maybe one or two who have it all. Pitching-wise, it doesn't seem that hard to figure out. Strikeouts and groundballs with a solid infield defense will win regardless of conditions. But maybe that's an oversimplification. Basically, I just want to see how people on here smarter than me would approach this strategy. Also, a couple of other misc. tidbits from that article...

He doesn't think we should sign Albert or Prince. I like the rest of his points, though, as obvious as they may be. http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/8898/five-tips-to-get-the-cubs-on-track The 5 tips... much more at link
