Blue Cross MedicareRxSM makes it easy for our members to ask questions about their coverage or to voice concerns. Below is a brief overview about the difference between "appeals" and "grievances," and how to file each of these with our departments. We also outline how to get in touch with us if you have any immediate concerns.
Blue Cross MedicareRx has processes in place to address Medicare coverage issues, complaints and problems. You have the right to make a complaint if you have concerns or problems related to your coverage or care. There are two different types of complaints:
If we deny coverage or payment for an item, medical service or prescription that you think we should cover or pay for, you may request an appeal.
If you have a complaint related to the quality of care you receive, the timeliness of services or any other concern except for the coverage or payment issues listed above, you may file a grievance.
If you have coverage issues related to medical or pharmacy services, or if you or your representative wishes to file a grievance, please contact Customer Service at: 1-888-285-2249 TTY/TDD: 711
We are open 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., local time, 7 days a week. If you are calling from February 15 through September 30, alternate technologies (for example, voicemail) will be used on weekends and holidays.
You may also contact Blue Cross MedicareRx if you want information about the number of appeals, grievances, or exceptions filed with the plan.
For more information, please see Terms Used in Filing a Complaint
What types of problems might lead to you filing a grievance?
You feel that you are being encouraged to leave (disenroll from) our plan.
If you have a grievance, we encourage you to first call Customer Service at: 1-888-285-2249 TTY/TDD: 711
We will try to resolve any complaint that you might have over the phone. If you request a written response to your phone complaint, we will respond in writing to you. If we cannot resolve your grievance over the phone, we have a formal procedure to review your complaints. We have made this process easy to follow to ensure you will receive a timely response to your concerns. You must file a grievance with us no later than 60 days after the event or incident that the grievance is about.
Telephone Grievances
As described above, if you have a grievance, we encourage you to contact customer service at the number listed above. If your complaint is not resolved at the time of your initial phone call, your grievance will be forwarded to a grievance coordinator for resolution. Generally, you will be sent a written response to your grievance, as quickly as your case requires based on your health status, but no later than 30 calendar days after receiving your complaint.
If your grievance involves the quality of the care you received, you will receive a written response. We may extend the timeframe by up to 14 calendar days if you request the extension, or if we justify a need for additional information and the delay is in your best interest. When we extend the deadline, we will immediately notify you in writing of the reason(s) for the delay.
Written Grievances
You may file a grievance in writing by sending a letter describing your grievance to the following address:
Blue Cross MedicareRx
Appeals & Grievances
P.O. Box 4288
Scranton, PA 18505
You will receive a written response to your grievance as quickly as your case requires based on your health status, but no later than 30 calendar days after receiving your complaint. We may extend the timeframe by up to 14 calendar days if you request the extension, or if we justify a need for additional information and the delay is in your best interest. When we extend the deadline, we will immediately notify you in writing of the reason(s) for the delay.
For additional forms and information, click here .
You may choose someone to act on your behalf. You may choose someone such as a relative, friend, sponsor, lawyer, or a doctor. A court may also appoint someone. You and the person you choose must sign, date, and complete a representative statement.
A request may also be made in a written letter. If you are legally not of sound mind or are incapacitated, the representative can complete and sign the statement. The representative needs to have the appropriate legal papers or legal authority to sign for you. If you choose a lawyer, only you need to sign the representative statement. The representative statement must include your name and Medicare claim number. You can use Form CMS-1696-U4 (see link to form below) or SSA-1696-U4, Appointment of Representative. You can also find this form at Social Security offices.
CMS Appointment of Representative Form
If your doctor or pharmacist tells you that we will not cover a prescription drug, you, as a Blue Cross MedicareRx member, may contact us for a coverage determination or to request assistance in identifying appropriate formulary alternatives. Contact Customer Service at: 1-888-285-2249 TTY/TDD 711 to obtain information on how to file a grievance, appeal or exception with the plan sponsor.
The following are examples of when you may want to ask us for a coverage determination:
The process for requesting a coverage determination is discussed in more detail in the Evidence of Coverage.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has a model Medicare prescription drug coverage determination form developed specifically for use by all Blue Cross MedicareRx prescribing doctors and enrollees. These forms can be used for Coverage Determination, Redetermination, and Appeals. Have a physician complete the appropriate form below and fax or mail for review.

A grievance is different from a request for a coverage determination because it usually will not involve coverage or payment for prescription drug benefits. Concerns about our failure to cover or pay for a certain drug should be addressed through the coverage determination process.
If you requested a "fast" coverage determination or redetermination and we denied your request, and you have not yet purchased or received the drug that is in dispute, you may file an expedited or "fast" grievance. You may file your expedited grievance either by telephone or in writing, as described above.
You may also fax your "fast" grievance to us at: 1-855-674-9189
We will make our determination and notify you of our decision within 24 hours of receiving your complaint.
Your physician or an office staff member may request a pharmacy prior authorization, step therapy or non-formulary drug exception request, by faxing the form to: 1-800-693-6703
If you or your doctor does not agree with the outcome of the initial coverage determination, you, your appointed representative or your doctor may appeal the decision by having your doctor request a redetermination. Include with your appeal request any information that you feel may be helpful in the appeal decision.
The formulary exception process is used to request coverage for a medication that's not on the drug formulary. All approvals for non-formulary medications will require a Tier 4 copay for brand name and generic drugs. You have the right to ask us for a formulary exception if you believe you need a drug that is not on our list of covered drugs (formulary).
If you'd like to have your non-preferred drug covered at the preferred drug copay level, you can ask for a tier exception, meaning:
Prescription Drug Formulary Exception Physician Form
Prescription Drug Tier Exception Physician Form
You have the right to appeal. If you want to appeal, you must request your appeal within 60 calendar days after the date of the denial notice. We can give you more time if you have a good reason for missing the deadline.
You, your prescriber, or your appointed representative may request an expedited (fast) or standard appeal. You can name a relative, friend, advocate, attorney, doctor, or someone else to be your appointed representative. Others may already be authorized under State law to be your appointed representative.
For an expedited (fast) or standard appeal, you, your prescriber, or your appointed representative may contact us by phone, fax, or mail.

Dave Schulz has already landed, folks. The Buffalo funky expatriate has fled his Los Angeles lair to head home for the holidays, where he will surely eat, drink, be merry and run a few rehearsals for the annual holiday reunion performance of the legendary C.O. Jones. That band did an awful lot to spur the Buffalo funk scene of the '90s, and considering the fact that funk has flourished in the time since Schulz headed west, should surely be seen as a major influence on our region's music.
Schulz has, as ever, put together a fine band for the occasion, with longtime compatriots and founding members Steve DeMarchi on guitar and Jerry Livingston on bass, joining sister Gretchen Schulz on guitar and vocals, Rob Lynch on drums, Jock Ellis on trombone, Vince Fossitt on saxophone and Schulz on vocals and keys for a serious funk/soul workout.
"How C.O. Jones Stole Christmas" takes over Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar (253 Allen St.), at 10 p.m. Saturday. Visit www.dukesbohemiangrovebar.com for additional information.

With multiple time-lines, several assassins, historical figure-heads, Templars, terrorist organisations, gods, pieces of fruit and a smoking-hot blonde, there's a lot to keep track of in the Assassin's Creed series. To bring you up to speed before the next game, Assassin's Creed Revelations, we've put together this handy catch-up.
It should go without saying, but the following article is riddled with spoilers; it's been written as a recap, after all. So make sure you've played up until the end of Brotherhood before reading any further...
The Assassin's Creed series plays out across three timelines: the 12th century, the 15th century, and 2012. This follows the lives of Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond respectively. Things quickly get confusing, so pay attention...
Assassin's Creed 1 - September 2nd, 2012, 12th Century.
It all kicks off in 2012. A chap called Desmond is kidnapped and taken to Abstergo Industries, where researchers - lead by Warren Vidic - are working on something known as the Animus project. The Animus is able to pull out the memories of its user's ancestry, allowing him to replay those memories as if he were there himself.
Desmond was kidnapped because of one ancestor in particular: Altaïr, who was an assassin during the Third Crusade of the Holy Land. The first memory Desmond experiences is that of Altaïr failing to assassinate the Grand Master of The Templar Knights, Robert de Sable, and recover the order's treasure. Due to this, Altaïr is stripped of his Master Assassin rank.
Over the course of his time in the 12th Century, Desmond discovers an ancient battle between two clandestine organizations: the Assassins and the Templars, who both seek an artefact with the power to reshape the entire world.
Between sessions in the Animus Desmond meets Lucy Stillman, who appears to be working for Vidic. From Lucy Desmond learns that Abstergo Industries is run by modern-day Templars, who are seeking the locations of several artefacts that they can use to continue to Templars' goals in present day. Desmond - through Altaïr - is the key to the location of where that artefact might be hidden.
So, to cut a long story short, Altaïr goes off and kills nine dudes (resulting in one of the most repetitive gaming experiences in recent memory), restores peace to a land terrorised by the Third Crusade, and secures the fabled artefact: known as a Piece of Eden. With Altaïr's memory complete, Desmond awakes in 2012 discover that Abstergo Industries is already sending out recovery teams to those locations hoping to find the artefact. As he no longer serves any purpose to Abstergo, Desmond is ordered to be killed. It transpires, however, that Lucy is a mole for the Assassins, and helps Desmond to escape.
In the conclusion of the game, Desmond - having become 'synchronized' with Altaïr - is able to use the eagle vision, a power that he has no reason to be using outside of the Animus. This is a result of the 'bleeding effect', which is where DNA gets confused between generations. This bleeding effect is crucial to Desmond's future.

I have a dwarf puffer fish that attempts to eat but vomits the food back up. I had tried feeding very small portions, in case this is an overeating issue, but he still cannot keep food down. He actively hunts and tries to eat, but is unsuccessful. This has gone on now for several days.
Water testing showed 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, 5ppm nitrate. Fish are feed bloodworms and snails. Water change ~20% weekly.
The fish is in a 20 gallon with two other dwarf puffers. The other two puffers are behaving normally.

LOCKPORT – Niagara County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz told a reporter Tuesday that the allegations that led to a paid administrative leave for the director of the county Refuse Disposal District are "none of your business."
County legislators apparently got similar treatment in a closed session that involved members of the Refuse District board and other lawmakers.
"They wouldn't tell us anything," Minority Leader Dennis F. Virtuoso, D-Niagara Falls, said after the 13-minute executive session.
Richard P. Pope, director of the district since 1993, was placed on leave Nov. 1 after he was questioned with a court reporter taking a verbatim record of the session.
"The man has a right to privacy," Glatz said. He said the leave is open-ended, but he intends to complete the probe as soon as possible.
He said that he and the county's legal counsel are handling the matter and that there is no law enforcement involvement.
He said the goal is to determine "whether it was improprieties or bad management or a bad hair day." But on specifics, Glatz insisted, "You're not entitled to any information on that."
Last week, after news of the leave leaked out, legislators said they were told information would not be shared with them because they might have to sit in judgment on Pope.
Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda, said there was a possibility of an Article 75 hearing, which is a trial-like proceeding that state law says must be used if a government wants to fire an employee with civil service protection.
Glatz said Tuesday the allegations received about Pope were not anonymous and predated his clash with Pope at an Oct. 22 Refuse District board meeting over possibly closing the district's only functioning landfill.
Glatz recommended its closing as far back as June, but Pope argued the landfill operates at a profit. Glatz noted the district as a whole does not make a profit because of the cost of monitoring its two closed landfills. The functioning landfill – known as the C&D landfill for "construction and demolition," its sources of waste – is running out of space, but Glatz said that there is no closure plan and that one is needed.
"Somebody took that as saying I was out for Pope," Glatz said. "This [investigation] has nothing to do with the budget." He said he "would take high offense" at anyone who said otherwise.
The manager also denied that a landfill shutdown would be designed to help Modern Disposal, the Lewiston waste company whose various components have given about $75,000 to Niagara County Republican candidates and committees since 2000, according to state Board of Elections records. "It's a complete fabrication and lie," Glatz said.

LISBON - Hubbard Township-based businessman Ed Yasechko believes he knows an opportunity when he sees it, and he believes the area north of town on state Route 45 is poised to benefit from the shale gas boom under way in the region.
Yasechko is already benefiting from the boom by leasing the former machine shop he owns behind Chester Hoist to E.J. Brennemen LP, a company that constructs the concrete drilling pads for oil and gas drill sites. He estimates the company employs about 20 workers.
Last year, Yasechko purchased the property located immediately south of the Valero gas station on Route 45, razed the house that stood there and cleaned up the property for development.
"With what was going on with the shale industry around here, I thought this was an area of opportunity," he said of the property.
While the lot is listed for sale and Yasechko is willing to entertain offers, he is also actively looking for a fast-food company that might be interested in opening a franchise at the site.
"The only fast-food restaurant up there is McDonald's, and I know there's room for another drive-through type restaurant," Yasechko said. "It's a site in your county that will be developed, sooner or later."
Yasechko has many business interests in his 40-plus years. In addition to owning fast-food restaurants over the years - mostly McDonald's and Burger Kings - he is a principal party in the development firm of Quadland Corp. and the Truck World travel center/truck stop off Interstate 80 in Hubbard Township.
He purchased the Lisbon property as an investment because he sees the area north of downtown Lisbon as ripe for growth because of the shale gas boom and the new county government services building that opened last year.
"Relocation of your government offices up there has made that a commercial area," Yasechko said.

I was diagnosed with MM Jan 2009 at the age of 37. I have spent alot of time thinking about what I may have been exposed to. The only thing I can think of is my time in the Army (Tank Crewman A1 Abrahms) from 90 to 93. I remember being told of all the cancer causing agents in and on the tank. Has there been anyone who has heard of other soldiers from that era developing MM at a young age?
Hello, from the IMF Hotline. Please give us a call and one of the coordinators can share resources and look for any information that may be available. The number is 800 452-2873. Take care.
I am a VN Vet. In 2010 I was diagnosed with MGUS. Since 2010, my WBC is up to 9.5, calcium is up to 9.7, albumin is at 4.6 and B2M is at 2.62. I recently developed an Mspike of .3 and my CD4 to CD8 ratio is increased. My Onc uses DSS staging says not to worry. According to ISS staging, I am at Stage 1. I know I'm eliegble for VA benefits but without a firm diagnosis, what good is it to go over to see them. I am in South West Fl and there is only one Onc "Factory" here. Next one is 100 + miles away. as is the VA hospital. Any ideas ?

5 Ways to Fight Back Against Breast Cancer
New research sheds light on steps you can take today to reduce your risk
Almost a quarter of a million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. And while early detection and more effective treatments have dramatically reduced the number of those who will die from the disease, researchers are still searching for ways to prevent it altogether.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
"Right now there's no sure way to prevent breast cancer, but we know healthy habits significantly decrease your risk," says Debbie Saslow, Ph.D., director of breast and gynecologic cancer at the American Cancer Society.
Here, the latest cutting-edge thinking from researchers.
1. Get enough sleep
Postmenopausal women with breast cancer who routinely sleep less than six hours a night may be twice as likely to have more aggressive breast cancers compared with those who sleep longer hours, a new study has found.
"Cancer is a disease of mistakes in our DNA. Sufficient sleep is responsible for maintaining our circadian rhythm, which regulates our body's natural DNA repair. If that process is frequently disrupted, so is DNA correction," explains lead author Cheryl Thompson, Ph.D., of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
If you have difficulty getting your six-plus hours, consider enrolling in an online sleep-improvement program, such as the Cleveland Clinic's Go! to Sleep plan, which combines cognitive behavioral therapy with tools including a daily sleep log and progress charts.
2. Lose weight
While the link between obesity and breast cancer is well-known, a recent study finds that just being overweight — but not obese — can also be detrimental for those who have already been diagnosed. The study of more than 4,000 women shows that being obese raised a woman's risk of recurrence by 30 percent and her risk of death by 50 percent, despite optimal treatments such as chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. And the risk of recurrence also increased with increasing BMI, even in women in the overweight range. The results pertained to women with hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, the most common type, which accounts for about 65 percent of cases.
"Breast cancer risk is linked to increased levels of estrogen, and fat tissue produces excess amounts of it," says lead author Joseph A. Sparano, M.D., of Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. "Fat also raises insulin levels, which can stimulate tumor growth."

3. Eat more cabbage
A recent study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health found that women who ate about four servings of vegetables a day minimized their chances of developing hormone receptor–negative breast cancer by 18 percent.
Other research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in April 2012 revealed that women with breast cancer who ate the highest amount of cruciferous vegetables per day had a 62 percent reduced risk of breast cancer mortality and a 35 percent reduced risk of recurrence.
"Cruciferous vegetables — such as cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, turnip greens and broccoli — contain high amounts of isothiocyanates and indoles, phytochemicals that appear to have a protective effect against some types of cancer," says researcher Seungyoun Jung, Sc.D., of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "They also contain significant amounts of vitamin C, carotenoids and polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties."
4. Drink alcohol sparingly
That would be no more than one drink per day, according to the American Cancer Society guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention. One analysis of more than 40 studies found that just two drinks a day may raise your odds by 21 percent. If you already have the disease, one recent study showed that regular alcohol consumption (half a drink or more per day) increased recurrence in postmenopausal women by 19 percent.
"A possible reason is that alcohol consumption has been shown to elevate circulating estrogen levels in postmenopausal women," says lead author Marilyn Kwan, Ph.D., a research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in Oakland. "If you're a breast cancer survivor, talk to your doctor and consider limiting your intake to no more than a half drink per day or no more than three to four drinks per week," says Kwan.
5. Get up and go!
Walk. Garden. Vacuum. The latest research shows that any physical activity protects against breast cancer. And news that tops that: It's never too late to start. A new study finds that even women who didn't start exercising until after menopause showed diminished risk.
"This is particularly encouraging given the late age of onset for the disease," says study author Lauren McCullough, of the University of North Carolina. Women who exercised at any intensity for 10 to 19 hours per week reaped the greatest benefit; they had about a 30 percent reduced risk. That breaks down to about 90 minutes a day, which seems like a lot, until you realize that all activity counts.
"Just take note of how long it takes to perform the activities you're already doing every day, and build on that," McCullough says. "If you know you spend 15 minutes doing housework and another half hour in the garden, be sure to walk your dog for 45 minutes." Just don't use exercise as an excuse to gain weight. When researchers looked at the combined effects of physical activity, weight gain and body size, they found that active women who packed on pounds — particularly after menopause — had an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The bottom line: Weight gain can quash the beneficial effects of exercise, so keep your weight in check.

We ask that you sign in when you use the services of the Center, giving your name, class year, course and the purpose of your visit. Sometime during the semester we will ask you to respond to a questionnaire about our services and the help you receive. This information helps us to be able to deliver the services that students have come to expect.
You may drop in at the Center to get help with one assignment, or you may come in regularly to work with a particular tutor. Be sure to arrive with specific questions, but don't expect the tutor to sit with you while you do your homework. Do your homework ahead of time so you can ask for help with what you don't understand.
The tutors do not give the answers to homework problems, but they will explain what you don't understand, use examples to work on the process of finding an answer and show how the problems fit into your assignment. At the end of your session, you and the tutor summarize what you have worked on, going over anything you don't understand.
You may find other students from your class seeking help from the same tutor. When that is the case, the tutor may work with the whole group at once or with individual students while the rest work together.
The tutor may be working with students from two or three different disciplines, moving back and forth among the students. The Center can be very busy, especially in the beginning of the semester, and you might feel that your are not getting the attention you need. If you feel you need to get immediate help, be sure to speak up. The tutors want to help everyone in a fair and effective way.
Sometimes answers won't come easily. Even after working out the problems and consulting with other tutors, your tutor may not be able to help you. If this happens, you and the tutor should work out a plan for finding out how to solve the problem. Perhaps you and the tutor need more information. Maybe something is missing from the assignment or from the equation. Get the missing information right away from the professor or from another student. Check back with the tutor to let her or him know what you find out, so the tutor can help other students who may have the same questions.
Most professors do not require an acknowledgment form if you received help from the Center. However, if you are unsure if your professor requires one, you may write an acknowledgment on the assignment.

Thirteen residents were evacuated from their senior-care community late Friday night when a fire broke out in a bathroom ceiling fan, Amherst fire officials said.
Firefighters responded to the 9:32 p.m. alarm at Oxford House, 49 Tennyson Court, just west of Transit Road, between Main Street and Sheridan Drive. Main-Transit firefighters, the first to arrive on the scene, discovered the fire had extended into the ceiling, then the attic.
Main-Transit firefighters evacuated the residents, quickly extinguished the fire and began removing smoke from the building. No one was injured, authorities said.
Fire Chief James Lawida estimated the damage at $65,000.

A 19-year-old Corfu woman was killed Sunday night in a complicated three-vehicle accident after the car she was riding in was involved in two collisions that apparently occurred just seconds apart, according to the Orleans County Sheriff's Department.
Kelsey N. Milks was flown by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 8:15 p.m. The driver of that car, Dana R. Cipra, 20, of Batavia, was listed in fair condition in ECMC.
The accident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. on Route 63 in the Town of Shelby, between Oak Orchard Ridge Road and the Orleans-Genesee county line.
The first collision was a head-on crash between a northbound Dodge Caravan and a southbound Chevrolet Cavalier, the car carrying Milks. Upon impact, the van ran off the east side of the road, down an embankment and into a ditch. The Cavalier came to rest in the center of the road.
That vehicle then was struck by a Chevrolet Cobalt.
The driver of the Caravan, Walter C. Hawkins, 73, of Medina, was treated and released from Medina Memorial Hospital. The two occupants of the Cobalt were not injured.

One of the reasons I like Jeff Samardzija and this whole new Cubs regime is... they generally don't beat around the bush.
Call it "transparency".
Being blunt.
I mean, sure - what else is Samardzija gonna say?
It wasn't the ump or anything.
Still, getting up in front of all those reporters and saying what's in the gif is the right way to do this stuff.
Now, lets hope he figures out what's gone wacky in his delivery or whatever and get back to that guy who shut down the Cardinals for 8 innings back in June.

"The Boston Red Sox do not
"The Boston Red Sox do not view themselves as "desperate enough" to pay the steep price for Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Garza, sources have told Andy Martino of the New York Daily News."

"Garza still has plenty of deep-pocketed suitors, even with the Red Sox out of the running. The Rangers, Indians, Pirates, Blue Jays, Padres, Dodgers, and Nationals are all believed to be interested in the right-hander, so Boston stepping out of the sweepstakes should not have much of an effect on his potential return."

Keith Law chat:
Was the Javier Baez call up too soon? Sure, he showed a lot better walk and strikeout rates in June, but it was just one month, and aside from one amazing game it's not like he put it all together consistently. I get the idea of getting him out of Daytona before the inconsistent and often wet weather of the late summer there, but I still would have liked to see at least another month of continued good performance at High A before a call up.
I agree with you. By the way, great FO exec quote on hearing that Baez homered in his first AA at bat: "Did they not get the scouting report?"
Ralph (Utica)
Worst MLB stat ever, the pitcher's W or the pitcher's S?
The save is the worst because it has altered how managers manage, and it's a complete negative
Thoughts on the Cubs International FA strategy of signing everyone and accepting penalties next year?
Given the uncertainty in that market, and the long time to payoffs on even the best signings, the strategy has good logic behind it.
Is Junior Lake a guy? or just a potential utl player?
A potential utility player should be able to play a couple of positions. I have seen no evidence that he can play any of them.
Was it true that Puig probably would have signed with the Cubs if he didn't with the Dodgers? Thank you.
No one else offered more than $10 million, which shows you something about how little the industry trusted what they saw at the time - out of shape, no game action, questions about makeup, etc.
Colin (Chicago)
Think the Cubs will get a top 100 guy or two when they eventually deal Garza?
I'll guess one, but no way on two.
Are you down on Baez as a prospect or did you just want him to demonstrate his improved approach prior to promotion? In his defense, although his BB rate only improved for one month his K rate had been great for 2. Really only ugly in April.
Not down on him at all.
Have you seen Shawon Dunston Jr play yet? He's doing great in Boise and seems to have heard about this thing called the strikezone before, he must have gotten that from his mother's side.
Always liked him, thought he needed to get stronger. Huge year for him though - they're so loaded in the lower levels with bats and he's no longer young for where he's playing.
What about Gretzky? Seems like he is a bust.
Was not a fan of that signing. He looked like a college guy to me, not a pro prospect.
You previously mentioned about Kris Bryant's lack of bat speed. How concerned should Cubs' Fans be about how that weakness may eventually be exploited on the major league level? Thank you.
Way too early to worry about that.
Maybe Javier Baez can lend Kris Bryant some of his bat speed.
Bryant can just pick it up after Baez knocks himself over during a swing.

Baseball America Prospect Hot
Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet
11. Albert Almora, of, Cubs
Team: low Class A Kane County (Midwest)
Age: 19
Why He's Here: .526/.550/.895 (10-for-19), 6 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1-for-1 SB
The Scoop: Almora collects hits in bunches. In 17 of the 40 games he's played this year (he missed time with a hamate injury), Almora has had two or more hits. He already has eight games of three or more hits. Almora's best fit in the future Cubs lineup is as a top-of-the-order table setter, and in the Midwest League this season, few have done that job nearly as well as Almora.

Seems like a damn good draft
Seems like a damn good draft so far. Pretty happy with the international spending spree if they do make the Jimenez deal official too. I'm thinking that this offseason might mark the first overt move towards competing, especially after they shot their 2013 wad on the international market.
Presuming they're done, Cubs
Presuming they're done, Cubs went over by $511,900 and will pay a 75% tax on that amount ($383,925 into Bud's pockets). They still had $15,925 to spend before reaching the next level of penalty that would have cost them a draft pick.
Pardon my ignorance on these
Pardon my ignorance on these things (you'd think I'd know from all the AZ stuff but I don't retain this info well)... but doesn't the upcoming Jen-ho Tseng signing affect the slot money? Or does that fall under some other weird, labyrinthine set of rules.
Different pools for the draft
Different pools for the draft and International free agents. The IFA pool has cap issues as well though.

For anyone who might be
For anyone who might be wondering where the Rule 4 Draft & ISBP tax money goes, it is distributed as revenue sharing funds to the clubs that qualify to receive revenue sharing.
However, if a club eligible to receive revenue sharing exceeds its assigned Rule 4 Draft bonus pool or ISBP, it is prohibited from receiving its share of the tax, and that club's share of the tax is redistributed among the clubs that qualify to receive revenue sharing that did not exceed their bonus limits.
I see the Cubs have signed 24
I see the Cubs have signed 24 draft picks this year, including their first 13 and 19 of top 20. Anyone know typical or atypical that is? Is this about how many guys they usually sign? Did they get more high-draft picks signed than usual or not?
Sorry I can't get the link at
Sorry I can't get the link at the moment, but if you go to Wiklifield and look for Cubs drafts, I usually summarized the signings. But, I didn't do last year at all and that's when the rules changed significantly. So what may have been typical from 2002-2010, may be quite different now.
BR probably does something similar.
The last time the Cubs signed
The last time the Cubs signed as few as 24 draft picks was 1997.
Cubs Draft picks signed since 1998:
1998: 25 (13 out of first 14)
1999: 28 (19 out of first 20)
2000: 27 (first 15)
2001: 25 (23 out of first 25)
2002: 30 (22 out of first 23)
2003: 25 (10 out of first 11)
2004: 26 (10 out of first 11)
2005: 32 (first 14)
2006: 31 (first 13)
2007: 33 (23 out of first 24)
2008: 32 (26 out of first 27)
2009: 29 (13 out of first 14)
2010: 29 (15 out of first 16)
2011: 35 (20 out of first 22)
2012: 27 (first 20)
Because they are college
Because they are college seniors with no eligibility left, the Cubs will retain negotiation rights to 21st round pick RHP Josh McCauley (Shepherd U.) and 27th round pick 2B Tyler Sciacca (Villanova) until one week prior to the next Rule 4 Draft (First-Year Player Draft) or until the player signs (whichever comes first).
Sciacca and McCauley were reported as "signed" by some blog, but the Cubs never announced their signings. It's possible that one or both did sign and then had their contract voided for some reason (as happened with 14th round pick RHP Daniel Poncedeleon).
In addition to the players
In addition to the players who were signed after being selected in the 2013 Rule 4 Draft (First-Year Player Draft), the Cubs have also signed two Rule 4 Draft-eligible Non-Drafted Free-Agents (NDFA), RHP Josh Davis (Belmont U.) and SS Trevor Stevens (Northwestern).
Both Davis and Stevens were college seniors, and both have been assigned to the AZL Cubs. (I actually saw Davis make his pro debut the other night at HoHoKam Park).
Most NDFA who sign are college seniors, but occasionally a HS or JC NDFA will sign. For example, NDFA 3B Jesse Hodges signed with the Cubs last September after starring for the Canadian Junior National Team in a tournament in South Korea.

Castro is 6-for-13 in his last four games with two home runs. Manager Dale Sveum and the hitting coaches have gotten Castro to get his weight shift on his back leg again.
"It is just a matter of him lifting his leg, but not really loading on their back side," Sveum said. "If (his) knee never gets over their back toes, your hands end up in front of your back foot and you end up in a very weak (hitting) position."

So, where is Iowa Cubs
So, where is Iowa Cubs outfielder Brett Jackson?
The question continued to swirl around Prinicpal Park as Iowa was in the midst of a four-game series with the Albuquerque Isotopes.
The 24-year-old Cubs propsect landed on the disabled list late last month but has been missing from the Iowa clubhouse since.
Jackson, who was placed on the disabled list with a right calf strain on June 22, is no longer listed on the Iowa team roster.
Iowa manager Marty Pevey wouldn't shed any light on Jackson's whereabouts.
"He's not here," Pevey said.
Well, he did say he was learning a lot from Ian Stewart...

he turns 25 in a few weeks...not where he should be or was expected to be at this point in his career.
it's kinda odd that clevenger was pissed about not playing when he claimed his injury wasn't bad enough to be on the DL and the cubs were posturing...only to still not be playing once he was traded to BAL. who knows wtf is/was going on there...

Apparently he had/has vision issues which was treated. One of his tear-ducts does not produce fluid necessitating the multiple application of drops on a daily basis.
He was diagnosed in April/May for this affliction, and it does coincide with the shitty slashes.
I'm with you though and would move on.
Not that it matters, other
Not that it matters, other than as contrast, but I read an article about Miguel Cabrera where they mentioned that he can see the seems spinning on a good fastball as soon as it is released. As someone with bad eyesight who was a terrible, terrible hitter when I tried to play, I can see how good vision would be a big advantage. At my level, I didn't need to worry about seeing at such a precise level, but hitting a major league baseball is such a difficult skill to master that any vision related disadvantage has got to be very difficult to overcome. I've always wondered if that isn't Brett Jackson's problem - he looks so "good" up there in some ways.
Yes. With his vision issues
Yes. With his vision issues AND the recent singing of Bryant, I wonder if the Cubs would still be interested in Olt? What a difference a year makes.

I'm sorry but Dale managed
I'm sorry but Dale managed like a frickin' moron tonight. When has putting a closer in the game with a non-save situation been a good idea? When has putting a potential trade bait closer, who has average stuff and relies on situational adrenaline and who struggled recently and who we are trying to dump while he's a mirage and possibly dump *this weekend* ever been a good idea? I know it's not Dale's job to service the trade whims of the Front Office but I don't think he helped his long term job security tonight, hanging Gregg out to dry right before he is potentially traded. (Not to mention EPICALLY losing the game).
Well, they lost the game, and
Well, they lost the game, and they lost a possibly ok prospect, since i doubt a worthwhile trade gets made now for Gregg.
Exactly my point. Dale doesn
Exactly my point. Dale doesn't seem like much of an organizational thinker sometimes.
I'm willing to criticize Dale
I'm willing to criticize Dale when it's warranted (e.g. bullpen usage, his public dressing-down of Castro, etc.) but faulting him for using one of his relievers because it's inopportune for the trade market is a bit of a reach. It's the job of Theo&Jed to maximize value for assets, not Dale's. Dale's job is to develop youngsters and win games and while you could argue that Gregg wasn't the best reliever in that situation because of how he's pitched of late, I don't think it's his job to figure out who to use based on how much value they're going to bring back. If there was concern Gregg was going to turn back into a pumpkin, then Theo&Jed should have traded him sooner.
In saying it was a dumbass
In saying it was a dumbass move in every way you touch on and I opened by saying it's not his responsibility to gauge trades. That said, he was the wrong pitcher for the inning, the situation, the game, the trade cycle, and he left him in too long for all if those. I really don't think the front office was thrilled he hung him out like that.
oh do tell what awesome
oh do tell what awesome bullpen arms Dale should have went to in that situation instead...much ado about nothing.
It's normal for a manager to
It's normal for a manager to use his closer in the top of the 9th inning of a tied game at home, since there can't be a save situation for the home team's closer once it gets to that point.
Gregg was only the 7th
Gregg was only the 7th pitcher used ... Uh ... Oops
Or to put it another way:
Or to put it another way: JESUS F#CK DALE! Really? +#*%++
Everyone is way over-reacting
Everyone is way over-reacting. I find it funny that we, as fans, have been talking about how Gregg is a mirage and we should trade him soon for weeks on this website, yet we assume somehow that other pro-teams and their scouts and executives do NOT see Gregg as a mirage--until last night of course when the curtain was thrown back. Really? So teams were gullible enough to give up a prospect for Gregg until he has a bad outing and now they won't do it? Because other teams only look at box scores and notice extreme performances? This is naive.
The reality is that Gregg could be a useful, but minor bullpen piece for a contender to fill in for an injury or give veteran depth where perhaps a couple of younger player are struggling. And that hasn't changed because of last night. He'll be a 7th inning reliever for a contender for two months and the Cubs will probably get a low-level player to be named later.
I knew this was coming and
I knew this was coming and you of course have a point. I didn't think they were gonna score a major coup, but I do think he could have sweetened a pot or drawn an organizational 10-20 pick. What I think you are discounting is that relievers ARE streaky by nature. They can be monsters one year and dogs the next of course. So a hot closer is a mirage but you can also ride that wave if you are lucky, or maybe a player did make a mechanical adjustment or gain some late career Eckersley maturity. Gregg's velocity is actually good and closing is about confidence and composure. Frankly Gregg has had it this year. I don't think I'm over reacting to say putting him in without a lead, out of his element, and letting him rack up an ERA increase of 1.00 the day before the All Star Break was a dumbass move. Yes the scouts and teams know more than we do, but he was in essence HOT and CONFIDENT. Now thanks to dale he's cold, iffy, and his numbers went up. It may make some difference in trade discussions.
As you say, relievers are
As you say, relievers are streaky by nature. But other teams know that too. I would guess that many have been looking and thinking "Gregg has been hot for 6 weeks now, I don't want to buy high because he can't keep up this type of streak for ever and will come back to earth!" We all knew it wouldn't last.
Quite possible. BUT with a
Quite possible. BUT with a hot pitcher with an ERA under 2.00 you at least have a chance. To quote j-roc from trailer park boys: knowmsayin'? How can swinging his dick out on the mound for 4 runs in a non save situation the day before they were gonna try and deal him be better than had he not?
On point with the current
On point with the current conversation, a jab at Ed Lynch, and a very sad memory all at the same time.
"You would never see such a trade today -- a general manager trading away his franchise's first-round pick so soon after being drafted, especially for a middling relief pitcher."

What's the point of posting to a forum if we can't overreact a little?

NIAGARA FALLS – Getting new students registered for school and getting existing students to show up for their classes were on the minds of city School Board members at their Thursday night review meeting.
Assessment Administrator Marcia Capone told board members that a new method of centralized registration of students for the whole school district soon will replace the present system of individual registration at each of the city's public school buildings. She said centralized registration will take place in an administrative office at the school district headquarters, 630 66th St.
Information Services Administrator Darlene Sprague explained that existing students in the Niagara Falls school system do not have to re-register; their registrations are "rolled over" automatically from one year to the next. The new system is for new students who have moved into the district and are being registered for the first time and for those who are moving from one school to another or whose registration information is being changed.
Sprague said the new one-stop registration center would be more convenient for families and would reduce the number of errors in the registration paperwork.
Public Relations Director Judie Gregory-Glaser said the new system probably will be put into place during the coming month.
Sensing a truancy problem among the 7,000 or so students in Niagara Falls city schools, board members also heard reports from the Rev. Jimmie Seright, executive director of the New Jerusalem Reporting Center for Boys and program director of SNUG – GUNS spelled backwards – and from Ron Cunningham, a school truancy officer and community activist.
"We've got to get serious about this truancy problem," Cunningham said. "Every kid we lose from school is an insult to America."
Cunningham said he has worked with about 200 students with truancy problems. Cunningham, who makes multiple visits to the homes of students who fail to show up for their classes, said, "These are not just student problems; there are multiple problems in their homes and among their families."
"The solutions require everybody to be on deck: the schools, families, social service agencies, the police, probation officers and others," he said.
