    With that 9th pick we had better get someone good.

    I hope they get a position player with the 9th pick. They need more athletes in their system. I have seen Jackie Bradley from LSU in some mock drafts. I would be good with that! There are also a couple of really good 3B prospects that would be nice!

    Jackie Bradley has explosive power, and is an athlete. Hopefully the Cubs will see that you need more athletes than just a good hitter or that the guy has speed. Athletes have potential without even being the best at a certain tool. All they need is for someone to mold them.

      I agree CubSouth 100%. Jackie Bradley also has a gun for an arm. Was clocked at 101 mph from the outfield. He has got some pop and can run too.

    Does anyone know about our new pitching coach? I liked Rothschild and believe he did good work with our pitching staff. This new guy, was he selected because Quade knew him and wanted him or was it because of the young relievers and back end starters that we have, whom he knows a lot about and can fix their mechanics because of the time he spent with them in the Minors?

      It was a combination of those things, and – I suspect – a desire to save a little bit of green. Otherwise, he’s a bit of an unknown quantity at this point.

    Why are the Rays listed three times, the Sox listed twice, and…did the Yankees fall off the face of the earth?
