If You Are a Cub, and a Catcher, You Like Marijuana
According to multiple reports, Chicago Cubs bullpen catcher Corey Miller was picked up for possession of pot (8.4 pounds of it, to be exact) earlier in the week. He’s, yes, in trouble. You’ll recall that last year, Geovany Soto got in some trouble for indulging in the ganja. My guess? Koyie Hill is stoned right [...]
More Roster Management: Cubs Drop Adduci from 40-man, Add Chirinos
Today the Chicago Cubs outrighted outfielder James Adduci to AAA Iowa, removing him from the team’s 40-man roster. In his place, the team added catcher Robinson Chirinos. Adduci, 25, didn’t do much this year in Iowa, and no longer merited the 40-man spot he held. Chirinos, on the other hand, tore up the minors this [...]
Adrian Gonzalez Likely to be Traded, Could be to Chicago Cubs
After the San Diego Padres played surprisingly well half-way into 2010, the team’s plans to sell off every viable piece was scrapped. That meant the Padres were hanging onto bargain-priced superstar, Adrian Gonzalez. The first baseman, one of the most consistent hitters over the past few years, the team felt, was too valuable to their [...]
Good News, Adam Dunn is a Type A Free Agent
That good news comes with an asterisk, I suppose – it’s good news if you actually want the Cubs to sign Adam Dunn. Adam Dunn has been designated a Type A free agent by the Elias Sports Bureau (just barely), which means that, should a team other than the Nationals sign him in free agency, that [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Kerry Wood is a Possibility
Just a day after the New York Yankees declined their 2011 option on pitcher Kerry Wood, a “source” now indicates that the Chicago Cubs would welcome Wood back if the price is right. Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood may be the missing link to a young and improving bullpen on the north side of [...]
Chicago Cubs Prospect Josh Vitters Still Wants to Play Third
It’s a Chicago Cubs prospect-y kind of day, I guess. Third baseman Josh Vitters, the Cubs’ number 1 pick (third overall) in 2007, has been playing some first base this Fall in the AFL. With an immediate opening on the big team at first base, and a reputation for stone hands and bad footwork at [...]
If You’re Ready to Start Thinking About 2011, Cubs Convention Tickets On Sale Nov. 3
Far be it from me to drag you out of your grousing about the crapbox that was the 2010 Chicago Cubs’ season. However, if you’re ready to start thinking about 2011, and can muster some excitement (and cash), tickets for the 2011 Chicago Cubs Convention are going on sale next week. Weekend passes for the [...]
Chicago Cubs Prospect Brett Jackson Feeling Better
Depending on how closely you follow Chicago Cubs prospects, you may have noticed that outfielder Brett Jackson stopped playing baseball a couple weeks ago when he and fellow prospect Chris Archer were playing in the Pan Am games for the U.S. team in Puerto Rico. Turns out that Jackson was dealing with a right ankle [...]
