    I need to start paying more attention to baseball. I don't even recognize anyone on this team anymore.

    Actually this might be one season that you want to pay less attention to baseball. This Cubs team is miserably bad. Most of the players they acquired in the off-season were cheap retreads. Looks like a burn it down and build it back up approach.

    word.

    Interested to see what this Bowden guy can do. He is still relatively young and Theo obviously is familiar with him. Also the Cubs are getting a PTBNL which will be another pitcher, they have a list of pitchers to choose from by May. Time for Theo to fire up the magic spreadsheet! :icon_cheesygrin:
