    Trading 1st Rounders for QB of Future I thought this was a pretty interesting article regarding teams that have traded 1st and/or 2nd Round picks to move up and select their future QB. The title "....fits the Packer Way mold..." is what caught my attention to read it. And, generally speaking, the article looks at what the Patriots might do with the 3rd overall pick. But I think it was an interesting read regarding the "prototypcal QB" for former Packers GM Ron Wolf and his many GM/Personnel Guy proteges. Of the 8 QBs listed, 4 were taken by the Packers and 7 of the 8 were good to HoF-worthy QBs. The only bust was Brohm (1 of the 4 Packers selections). Anyway, I think it gives a nice breakdown of the five QBs that fit the criteria: Maye, McCarthy, Daniels, Williams, and Nix.

    Indubitably!

    I'm probably in the minority, but I think Pat Hughes is just so-so. I really don't hear a lot of him anymore as I don't live in the Chicago area. But I don't really find him all that interesting. He's good, but not great.

    I'm disappointed it's not re-scheduled as well. They're refunding the tickets are bought directly from MLB/Cubs (I did), but I'd really rather see the game/players. Assuming this will be a yearly "thing", I'll plan to go next year.

    Anyone at the game? I’m hanging near the Cubs dugout by third base.

    He had a nice Spring last year, too, if I recall. I suggested right here on this site that the good Spring might give him some trade value. The suggestion was quickly shot down as poppycock. The shooter was correct as he basically languished in the Minors all year.

    I remember when Barry Foote was a Cub and I didn't recall him being short or stout. Looked it up in BR and he was 6'3", 205. Hardly fire pluggish. Side note: I remember he hit a HR onto Waveland and it bounced and broke a window on one of the upper-floor apartments across the street.

    I've always felt a team should wait until a newly signed FA has at least 1 AB in Spring Training before they consider trading him. There's really no point until then.

    You can never have too many “Thompsons” in your organization.

    Purchased tickets the March 15 game: Is this something new between the two ballclubs? Spring Breakout: White Sox prospects at Cubs prospects Is this something new between the two ballclubs? I don't recall this game from previous seasons. Tickets were only $15 for open seating.

    Only being good enough to NOT miss the playoffs is the expectation for a lot of teams.

    This is my 5th Spring living in southern AZ. Have yet to work it into my schedule for a Spring game or two. I have vowed to get up to the Mesa/Phoenix area this spring to see a game or two. Would like to get to Sloan just to see it from the inside. Prices are pretty outrageous. Might also see them at a visitor stadium. I have plenty of time now these days.

    A good deal for Chris. Get some experience broadcasting a Minor League team before maybe getting a role with a Big League club.

    #YouHaveToCIt......that's a bit of a stretch to being "dirty". Apparently, the Cubs brass agree with you all as it's been changed. But even if people were "seeing the dirty word", it wouldn't even make any kind of sense. Dumb. I would keep it the way it was.

    Would anyone like to break down in simple terms what "some of us" are clearly missing in this thread? I have an "adult mind" and can see sophomoric humor with the best of them. But I'm not figuring this one out.

    I had a few others that were going to "go in" with purchasing the tickets. They live in Chicago and have the ability to go to games quite often. I would have them for me personally more as a luxury to use when I visit and for potential playoffs, WS. But my "financial partners" are no longer an option and I'm not willing to pay myself as I clearly wouldn't use many tickets each season.

    I received a few emails and texts from Chris Cascio in the past couple of months Then last week, he called me directly. I would love to get season tickets or a small package pf tickets. But I live in Arizona and don't get to Chicago anymore too often. The person(s) I was going to split with can't pony up the needed cash. So I'm out, sadly.
