There is still plenty of time, and plenty of good indicators, including the most important ones at this point in his development.

Lukewarm Stove: Sigh, Another Michael Young Rumor
I never get tired of rumors. I really don’t. That’s why they’re such a big part of this site – I love reading about them as much as I love discussing them. So I’ll never stiff you on a rumor that I’ve heard or read about. That said, I’m growing a bit weary of the [...]
Why the 2011 Cincinnati Reds Will Suck
Editor’s Note: Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for us to settle back into our protective bubble where the Chicago Cubs are destined for greatness, and every other team in the National League Central is bound for spectacular failure. If you’d care to check out last year’s fare: St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati [...]
Marlon Byrd is Beefy, But It’s All Supplements and Exercise
Chicago Cubs center fielder Marlon Byrd is a thick, hulking dude. And if he had the power numbers of an Albert Pujols or Alex Rodriguez, or say, Jose Bautista, people would probably speculate about the source of Byrd’s prodigious biceps. As it is, no one is particularly concerned with PEDs when it comes to Marlon [...]
Ryne Sandberg is Happy to Be in the Phillies’ Organization

Even Randy Wells Has Bought into the “Randy Wells Was Terrible in 2010″ Story
As extensively analyzed last week, Randy Wells was probably not quite as bad last year as it initially appeared. He was a little less lucky, a little less precise, and a little bit shakier in the early innings. Beyond that, he was, at times, far more effective in 2010 than in his sterling 2009 season. [...]
Chicago Cubs Get Creative With Ticket Packages
If you wanted to buy a bundle of tickets to Chicago Cubs games this year, but don’t have season tickets, and don’t want to go a la carte, you can now buy a package of 13 game tickets, with some choice built in. The ticket packages are divided into bleacher seats or seats in the [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Minor Matt Garza Tidbit
I recognize that this is now bordering on an Obsessive Matt Garza Watch (or is it OMGarza?), but there’s precious little going on right now, and trade rumors are always interesting – no matter how tenuous or uninformative. As for Garza, the latest news out of Tampa Bay is that the Rays are expected to [...]
Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck
By Brett on March 30, 2011
Editor’s Note: Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for us to settle back into our protective bubble where the Chicago Cubs are destined for greatness, and every other team in the National League Central is bound for spectacular failure. If you’d care to check out last year’s fare: St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati [...]
