Updated through 8/28/14 - 29 games left for Cubs.
For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in next year's draft on top of their regular pick.

i have little to no issue with what theo/jed have done, but as far as the "fans, wait until we build our core" thing goes (and the 3 years of tanking to do it) that's done as far as i can tell. they got what they've asked the fans to wait for.
beyond that...and what got me interested in this part of the thread...i don't wanna hear about how they're scraping together pennies in the budget from season to season. this is a top large-market team with billionaire owners.
that is off the hook. what the hell got into that scout...and does he expect to keep his job after doing something that stupid?
A scout goes out to find prospects and then reports back to the Scouting Director on which prospects show enough ability for another set of eyes. The cross-checker is that second set of eyes. He gives another perspective, a second reference, to the Scouting Director. A cross-checker is a step-up from a scout.
What is a cross-checker?
Incident in Boise:http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140829&...
(Not a Cubs prospect.)
Wasn't Alcantara about Jimenez's age when he signed? I don't remember that signing but his age and time spent in the minors suggest he was about that age, maybe a year older. I suspect a 17 year old won't be fast tracked. Gleyber Torres sounds like he's a bit more advanced at about the same age, but I doubt he'll be challenging for Addison Russell's position at short for the Cubs next year. Boy, this is fun!
One thing I'll give Crunch on the Ricketts front is that had they not taken a fast food franchise approach to running the team, they probably would have avoided Tarpgate. The cutting of the hours of the grounds crew to avoid Obamacare is a pretty ghastly way to run a business. I'm not a big fan of the Ricketts. I'm a pretty good fan of Theo - but I'm not convinced that Theo is still not facing considerable financial constraints. This is a very heavily leveraged team thanks to the way the finances were structured in the Zell deal.
"timely trades that benefit the team rather than trading the entire team away while collecting yearly top 1st round picks"
g.torres (BOI) goes 4-5 (3 singles, triple)
t.ihrig had another good, yet unspectacular start for kane county (6ip 5h 2bb 3k, 1r/er). it'll be interesting to see him in AA next year (though he'll probably start in A+ and have to earn his way to AA).
yet pete ricketts has spent about 15+ million running for office (and counting) on a few occasions...the elder ricketts spent 10 million+ (that's known of) in anti-obama attack ads as well as his millions-of-dollars superPAC...and this is just an isolated political example from the ownership group.
everyone has "hobbies"...some people invest in one hobby over another. some people can afford to have multiple hobbies, pump whatever they want into it, and it still doesn't effect their quality of life or impose a risk upon their wealth.
the number of owners using their personal fortune to upgrade their sports hobby is somewhere under less than 5%.
I think knowledgeable fans know this, some less than knowledgeable clearly do not. The team has a plan and as Theo said, it is wise to put themselves in a vacuum, isolated from the mouth-breathers.
Fans will be there when they start winning and the winning is coming soon.
I think next year they flirt with .500 for most of the year, I think 2016 and beyond (2017 at the latest), they'll be in pennant races consistently.
I'm impressed with how Theo put this thing together. In hindsight, it's a simple formula- for the past two years, he would pick up cheap free agent guys who he knew would be useful to a team in a pennant race, not because they were particularly useful to the Cubs (I'm talking Bonifacio, for instance) and then, mid-year trade them for a prospect or two.
the fact the front office is talking about squirreling away money last season that will help out this season when the owners are billionaires, the team is in the 3rd largest US market, and the team has coast-to-coast national appeal is a bit "are you fucking kidding me?"
that was the point of that.
I think his point is 1. annoyance with the Ricketts' connections to some unfortunate politics- mm, okay, maybe that plays in Omaha, but in Chicago, where the people live, it's looked at as backwards and I share crunch's chagrin with the politics of the Ricketts and it's too bad the Cubs have this connection.
It's a good thing I wasn't counting on Tennessee--to get a hit tonight against Andres Santiago (6-8, 4.47 ERA) of Chattanooga.
I'm not sure I'm getting your point unless you believe that because the Ricketts family are upper '1%rs' that their money should supplement the Cubs payroll budget. The Wrigley family never did that; the Tribune never did that (until the Cubs were up for sale); and if I wanted to take the time to research the other 29 MLB teams, I could probably come up with 5-10 more examples.

I found this top-rated in Consumer Reports. It seemed right for me, so I immediately bought it on line. I'm a light sleeper, getting up at least once a night. Since using the product I sleep deeper and rarely get up, if I do, I can easily sleep again.
My only complaint is the lights behind the selections, they should have setting options that dim even more than they do, as they act as a night light which keeps me awake, the very thing I'm trying to avoid. I use deep-colored Post-it notes to cover them or I use a sleep mask. Once the light is out, the sound goes to work and soothes me to slumber. I never use the timer, just keep the sound on all night. I've shared my delight with others who have sleep problems, I'm certain some will purchase as I did.
I'm trying to devise a cover to shut out all light yet not cover any of the back where the sound comes through the speakers.
I like the choices and vary them with my mood, Ocean Surf, Summer Night or Rain are my three favorites. When I'm very stressed I use the Celestial and picture myself in space escaping my earthly concerns.
After only six weeks I feel my quality of sleep must be improving, no more wakeful times in the middle of the night and have less afternoon fatigue.
In the past I have tried prescriptions, over-the-counter and herbal sleep aids, consumed gallons of chamomille tea. This little device is so simple and so natural that it's hard to believe it can be this effective. If I were not happily retired I would market it for you at the Senior Center...I often hear of sleep complaints in my age group.
If this continues to work this well it will add many productive hours to my week, no longer needing mid-day naps. Time will tell, but so far, so good.....no, great!

This was a gift from my kids to drown out my husband's snoring at night.

Comments about Tranquil Moments® Sleep Sound Therapy System:
I bought this machine in December of 2013 after my Tranquil Moments White Noise Machine for Baby broke after a year and a half. We use white noise to help my toddler sleep at night and nap time. In the first month, we noticed that the machine would often cut off after 10 or so minutes without warning. One day it completely froze and wouldn't come on at all. After about 5 minutes of tinkering with it, it started working again. Due to it's faultiness, I took it back to the store in March of 2014 and exchanged it for another one. I had the second for nine days when it stopped working completely. It wouldn't even work with battery power. I am extremely disappoined as these machines at Brookstone are some of the most expensive on the market. I am returning the second, and I will be going with a different machine. Please pay attention to the reviews. Many of the good reviews are written by people who have had the machine for a very short time. You cannot guage the machine's dependability based on these reviews. Many reviews state the machine is not dependable. Do noy buy it!

This year's All-Stars come from nine different countries, and more than 50 countries from around the world have sent media representatives to U.S. Cellular Field to cover the Midsummer Classic.
The largest foreign contingency? Japan, which has roughly 250 print, radio and TV journalists on hand in Chicago to record every move made by Hideki Matsui, Ichiro Suzuki and Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
Gaku Tashiro, who covers Matsui and the Yankees for Sankei Sports, a Japanese newspaper, is the only beat writer to have covered Ichiro's first season as well as Matsui's. He said that Monday's All-Star workout day was his busiest since Opening Day.
"To have three Japanese players playing on the All-Star team," Tashiro said, "that's a huge story for us."
Matsui, who was voted in as the American League starting outfielder in just his first year, said that to have three Japanese players on the AL's roster is something he never would have believed just a few years ago.
"We couldn't have imagined Japanese players in the Major League All-Star Game, but we're playing," Matsui said through an interpreter. "It's great. The fans in Japan are very proud of how we have performed here."
When Ichiro and Matsui talked on the field for 30 minutes during Monday's workout, it became front-page news in Japan. The announcement of the AL's starting lineup took place shortly after 11:00 a.m. on Monday -- just in time for Tashiro's deadline, which was just after 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
"When the managers announced the starting lineups, we were still before our deadline," Tashiro said. "We didn't know where Hideki would bat, and if it was the ninth spot, that would have been a big story."
Matsui was penciled into the seventh spot, but it was still news. Tuesday night, Tashiro and the rest of the Japanese press corps will have to compete with the Japanese All-Star Game for front-page coverage, as the play of Matsui, Ichiro and Hasegawa will help determine the amount of coverage.
Of the 70 players selected to the All-Star teams this season, 49 are from the United States. The next most-populated All-Star country is the Dominican Republic, with six representatives. Five players are from Puerto Rico, while Japan and Venezuela have three All-Stars each. Canada, Mexico, Colombia and Curacao are each represented by one All-Star.
Major League Baseball issued about 1,400 credentials to the media, not including rightsholders. About 400 of those credentials were for foreign media from 50 countries, including 250 from Japan. The All-Star Game is being broadcast to more than 200 countries around the world in 12 different languages.

Baseball Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig presented the Houston right-hander, who started for the NL All-Stars, with the award in the middle of the fourth inning. Clemens, who has 320 career wins, is the first pitcher to receive the award.
"He's been the best pitcher in baseball," Houston outfielder Lance Berkman said recently. "It's amazing the things he's accomplished, not just this year but his career."
Clemens, 10-3 with a 2.62 ERA, owns a career record of 320-163. The 41-year-old has 4,220 career strikeouts, second all-time to Nolan Ryan.
"What you're seeing is something that's very special, something that fans should appreciate," Houston manager Jimy Williams said of Clemens' first-half performance with the Astros. "It's just a very special performance by a very talented performer."
Clemens was selected Most Valuable Player of the American League in 1986. He has led the league in wins four times, ERA six times and strikeouts five times. Clemens has recorded 46 shutouts and 117 career complete games. He is baseball's active leader in wins, innings, strikeouts, games started, complete games and shutouts.
Previous winners of the Commissioner's Lifetime Historic Achievement Award include Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Cal Ripken Jr., Tony Gwynn, Barry Bonds and Rickey Henderson.
McGwire and Sosa were honored for their 1998 homer chase, when they battled to be the first to break Roger Maris' single-season home run record. Ripken and Gwynn were awarded the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award during the 2001 All-Star Game at Seattle. Ripken was recognized for his consecutive games streak, and Gwynn for his career batting average.
Bonds was singled out for breaking McGwire's single-season homer record while Henderson, who holds several Major League records including most stolen bases, was also recognized.
