The righty got $3.1 million from the Cubs earlier this year, and could move quickly through the system.

The Cublogoverse is Unretired
Several months ago, the Cublogverse suffered a kick squarely to the crotch when Joe Aiello announced that he was shuttering the venerable Cubs blog, View from the Bleachers. All wasn’t completely lost, of course, because Joe was taking his services across town to The Cub Reporter. But the lure of VFTB must have been too [...]
The Cublogoverse is Repetitive
This post is directed mostly at my Cub logging brethren, so if you’re not in that community – or not particularly interested in it – then you might just ignore it. I’ve only been doing this “serious” Cubs blogging thing for a couple months now, but I’ve already learned a great deal. Some lessons come [...]
The Cublogoverse is Playing Fantasy
If you’re looking for a fantasy baseball league to play in this year, the Cublogoverse is giving you a few great options. First up, at A League of Her Own, there are a few leagues: Big Boys League: This is the league for people who like to read stat columns and box scores and lean [...]
Rejoice! The Muskat Mailbag Has Returned!
Some time ago, the Chicago Cubs beat reporter for Cubs.com, Carrie Muskat, announced that she would be discontinuing her wildly popular “Mailbag” – wherein readers could send in questions for her to answer. Of course, the Mailbag was as popular for its ridiculous questions and thinly-developed answers as anything, so naturally the Cublogoverse cried out [...]

They take nominations from the world at large, and then select the winners. We need to know what you consider to be the best Cubs websites — and we’re taking nominations [...]
The Cublogoverse is MONEY GRAB!
Flipping through my headlines the other day, I came across this peach from Inside the Ivy: If the inauguration of Barack Obama as the nation’s 44th president is a precursor to the play of typical Cubs teams during inaugural years, what can be expected of the 2009 club? Scout.com: How Have Cubs Fared in Inaugural [...]
The Cublogoverse is Movin’ on Up
Recently, our friends at Wrigleyville23 got the call up the big leagues. Well, the call up to somewhere anyway. They were tapped to become the Chicago Cubs blog for MVN, a post previously occupied by such Cublogoverse heavyweights as The Cub Reporter and View from the Bleachers. We caught up with the proprietor of Wv23 [...]
The Cublogoverse is All About Parody
There was a time when only the Onion wrote parody articles. Then came The Heckler. Then came The Cubs Brickyard. And now Bleed Cubbie Blue has entered the fray. Some parody headlines from the latter three this week in the Cublogoverse: Cell to host Winter Classic Demolition Derby – The Heckler Lou Piniella Spends Offseason [...]
