Big News for this Blog

Recently, I was approached by MVN.com to take on the responsibilities of their Cubs minor league blog. This is a great opportunity which I accepted with much enthusiasm, so check back soon for a link to my new site.

Ultimately, nothing will change (except the URL), you will keep getting the same content there as you did here. The good news is that there should more traffic, more opportunities for interviews, and more opportunities to see the Cubs minor leaguers in action.

Long time no post

Well, baseball is rapidly approaching and the college basketball season has only 2 months remaining. There should be a smooth transition for me from my College Fantasy Basketball site, to this site in April, so keep the shortcut, as the content will return.

For now, note that the Cubs have traded prospect Jae Kuk Ryu to Tampa Bay for a couple prospects, outfielder Andrew Lopez and RHP Gregory Reinhard.

Reinhard has a good sinker and a miniscule HR/9 rate, while Lopez is young but has performed nicely in a couple seasons of rookie ball. This is simply a roster move to clear a spot on the 40 man for Cliff Floyd.

Here's hoping Ryu doesn't post too many 20 win seasons.
