Time to Revisit the College of Coaches
Arizona Phil, Would you be
Arizona Phil,
Would you be worried about players being fed too much information. For example, Ronnie's struggles at the plate have been apparent and his work with Clines/Sarge has obviously not been helping. If you bring in Von Joshua and he instills a completely different hitting technique, it may take a while for Ronnie to forget the Sarge/Clines approach and tendancies to adapt to the Joshua ideas. My point is that I would worry that young players will get bombarded with too many varying opinions and not be able to work things out. Just a though AZ Phil, but wouldn't that worry you as well?
Oneri Fleita also mentioned
Oneri Fleita also mentioned during yesterday's game that Von Joshua would be going with Pie to the Dominican this winter to coach him while he plays for Licey. Hopefully that's a sign that the organization is starting to take player development seriously.
Miles is really quite good.
Miles is really quite good. His observation about the Pirates' extra practice says a lot. I also appreciate the way he contrasted Baker's critique of Pierre on the bases ("...just a tough night") with the way he blasted Theriot for essentially the same offense.
Funny how things go around:
Funny how things go around: a couple of years ago, the White Sox couldn't even wait until the end of the season to replace Von Joshua with Greg Walker. Maybe Joshua works better with younger players...
So just because Dusty, Gene
So just because Dusty, Gene and I spend time in the dugout arguing over which jazz club we're gonna hit after the game that makes us cronies Phil? Just because my son has improved greatly this season the second after he stopped taking my advice doesn't mean I'm a flunkie. oh wait...

Arizona Phil,
Would you be worried about players being fed too much information. For example, Ronnie's struggles at the plate have been apparent and his work with Clines/Sarge has obviously not been helping. If you bring in Von Joshua and he instills a completely different hitting technique, it may take a while for Ronnie to forget the Sarge/Clines approach and tendancies to adapt to the Joshua ideas. My point is that I would worry that young players will get bombarded with too many varying opinions and not be able to work things out. Just a though AZ Phil, but wouldn't that worry you as well?
JUNIOR: I think you have to find instructors who get results, and I don't see Clines or Sarge as being the type of instructors who get results.
It's true that there are different philosophies about hitting, but it shouldn't be too hard to identify a philosophy that has a provable track record of success, and then find a half dozen instructors who share the same philosophy, but maybe have different personalities or teaching methods.
I think the problem the Cubs have had in player development is that when a Corey Patterson or a Ronny Cedeno is "coached," they are told one thing by a minor league instructor, and then something completely different by a coach or the manager once they reach they big leagues.
There has to be a unified curriculum that is taught throughout the system, including at the big league level. The only differences should be in the personality and teaching methods of the instructors, not in the content of what is being taught.
Charlie Lau was a very successful hitting instructor for the Kansas City Royals in the 1970's, and George Brett, Hal McRae, and Amos Otis (and many other Royals) worked with Lau every day, even after they became MLB All-Stars. But the hitting instructors the Royals hired to work with minor league players were required to share the same hitting philosophy of Charlie Lau, so that Royals prospects wouldn't learn one way of hitting in the minors and then be told something completely different by Lau once they made it to the big leagues.
So the main idea in a "College of Coaches" would be to first determine what philosophy you want to teach about hitting, baserunning, pitching, bunting, outfield defense, pitchers covering 1st base (or whatever), and then make sure you hire instructors throughout the organization who share that philosophy, AND understand it, AND have the ability to communicate it to the player.
The reason I brought up the Kansas City Royals of the 1970's is because soon after the franchise was formed, team owner Ewing Kauffman directed GM Cedric Tallis to form a Royals Baseball Academy at their Spring Training facility in Florida, where athletes from other sports could be taught how to play baseball. This was a very radical idea at the time, just like Wrigley's College of Coaches was ten years earlier.
The idea that you could train a sprinter or a football player with little or no experience playing baseball to be a baseball player (sort of like Michael Jordan circa 1995) didn't work, but what did happen is that Royals Academy was converted to a year-round high-intensity training camp for the Royals better prospects, where they could receive instruction from the best-available baseball coaches.
The Royals had a lot of success in the 1970's when they were operating their minor leagues as more of a "college," and they probably would be better off doing that again, spending their available funds signing the best amateur players they can get and then giving them the best training and coaching possible, rather than throwing millions at the likes Reggie Sanders, Doug Mientkiewicz, and Mark Grudzielanek.
The Cubs might also consider that approach, although unlike the Royals, the Cubs would be able to hang onto their better players once they (hopefully) become established stars.
There is more to producing major league players than just identifying the best high school, college, and international players, and then signing them. They also need to be DEVELOPED. The Cubs have done and continue to do one part of that pretty well (scouting and signing players), but they haven't been doing the second part (player development) well at all. That's where a "College of Coaches" would be useful.
I think right now the Cubs have a pretty good group of minor league instructors, but whatever they teach is getting lost in the translation once the player or pitcher reaches the major leagues. The instruction needs to extend and be continued at the major league level. You can't stop teaching a youngster or (even worse) teach him something different once he gets to the big leagues.
Revamping the current
Revamping the current coaching hierarchy is an excellent idea. But, I dont think that it would be necessary to employ a whole crew of roving instructors. Maybe just one sort of supreme potentate in charge of hitting (Joshua, for example).
He could then hire his own instructors for various levels, including the major leagues.
That way everyone would be more or less on the same page with regard to teaching. Joshua could then migrate around to various levels to oversee and help out as the situation demands.
Phil- Do you know the
Do you know the number of scouts the Cubs employ?
And compare that to the number of scouts the Dodgers, Red Sox, and the Mets or the league average.
I heard once on WSCR that the Cubs employ the least amount of scouts by like half.
Successful teams in any
Successful teams in any sport have a long term team philosophy. The Cubs have never had this because they have always operated year to year. Next year the Cubs will have a new manager with new coaches and an assortment of miss-fit players again. A team put together with no plan but a hope that lightning will strike and a winner will emerge.
As a long time Cub fan, my only hope is we will have an exciting, colorful bad team again. At least most teams in the past were interesting to watch. This 2006 team has been a mess but even worse a BORING mess.
pierre's play was far
pierre's play was far different than theriot's. Little League Rule #11:
"Don't make the first or last out at third base"
"A team put together with no
"A team put together with no plan but a hope that lightning will strike and a winner will emerge."
The Cubs have a plan it is just not a good plan.
It seems to me the plan under this management team is to draft lots pitchers who throw hard (with or without control) and hitters who have some plus skills in either power or speed.
In the off-season, the plan is to build a team that can compete (85-90 wins) and if they play well to use the Tribís monetary resources to take on salaries to improve the team. If the team is out of it they slowly trade away minor players for low-level prospects.
RobG- Good point...it could
Good point...it could be pointed out that they were down 3 when Theriot got thrown out, down one with Pierre already in scoring position with the heart of the order coming up.
Neither play was very smart.
"pierre's play was far
"pierre's play was far different than theriot's"
Yes, but they were both imminently dumb. One could argue Pierre's was worse because it reeked of stat padding. But hey, he's a veteran so it was just bad luck not poor decision making.
One could argue Pierre's was
One could argue Pierre's was worse because it reeked of stat padding.
No it didn't...it looked like he wanted to get to third so that he coudl score on a sac fly.
Pierre's play made much more sense than Theriot's - it just didn't work out.
stat-padding? come
stat-padding? come on...
being on third with 1 outs is better than being on 2nd with 1 out.
being on third with 2 outs, down 3 or being on second with 2 outs, down 3 is no different.
And according to the play-by-play on yahoo, theriot was up, not lee, so I have no problem with him going there at all.
I think Pierre was counting
I think Pierre was counting on the play not making sense and catching the Bucs by suprise. It's not a bad idea... but not in a tie game. Looking at it from the Pirate's perspective, they're going to be keeping a real close eye on him at 2nd.
I give Pierre a pass, though, cause I like him.

There are also five "Special Assistants to the GM" (Randy Bush, Keith Champion, Gary Hughes, Ken Kravec, and Ed Lynch) who as part of their duties can be given special scouting assignments by Jim Hendry.
Bush is mainly responsible for evaluating the Cubs minor leagues (intra-organzation), and Kravec and Champion are usually the ones who attend other MLB games and bird dog players who might be of interest to Hendry in a trade.
I don't know, I think the
I don't know, I think the organizational philosophy is pretty clear and not that bad: draft and develop young pitching, keep the best young pitchers for the big league club and trade the mediocre to good pitchers for talented young position players. Use the big budget to lockup those position players and top pitchers long term and to fill gaps. Rinse, repeat.
The 2004 was the realization of that plan. You had a starting rotation that looked unstoppable (Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Clement, Maddux); prospects/cash had been used to bring in three top young position players (Barrett, Lee, Ramirez); a group of seemingly solid vets thanks to a big payroll (Alou, Sosa, Grudzie/Walker, Hawkins, Mercker, etc.); and the minors still had plenty of good prospects available to plug holes (Guzman, Brownlie) or to trade (see Nomar).
Unfortunately, a number of unrelated events coincided and really destroyed the whole plan. Wood and Prior got hurt. Sosa tanked. Patterson bombed. Hawkins bombed. Borowski got hurt /tanked. Top pitching prospects got hurt (Guzman) or fizzled (Brownlie). All the sudden, six positions that looked solid (SP #1-2, CF, RF, SU, CL) turned into gaping holes. Looking back on it, it's not that surprising that the Cubs have looked so bad for the last two years--especially with an incompetent manager and weak FA markets thrown in for good measure.
I think this offseason is going to be make or break. The organizational philosophy was good three years ago, but the circumstances dictate a change. It'll be interesting to see where Hendry goes with it.
You don't risk attempting to
You don't risk attempting to steal 3rd when your teams hottest and best hitters are up next in a tie game.
I agree don't make the 1st and 3rd out at 3rd base in a game. It's a catchy little phrase everyone remembers. But you got to be smarter in a close game and let the hitters behind you atleast have a chance. He risked the game, and he failed.
Theriot didn't risk the game. That is the difference. Thats why it makes it worse. You got to be smarter than that in a close game.
I apologize if somebody has
I apologize if somebody has already said this, but might the Cubs be actually doing Pie a favor by saving him from Dusty's soul-crushing rookie initiation? Could it be that with Dusty's days numbered, Hendry is sending Pie far away so the impressionable youth isn't exposed to Dusty's odd ways? Maybe he's in a better place - somewhere where walks as good for your team as they are for the opponent.
I so badly want to think the Cubs are doing something that makes sense, even though evidence is admittedly sparse...
what is the sudden pie-love
what is the sudden pie-love anyway.
there's a RF that's hitting...a CF'r that's pretty much on fire, and a LF'r who's finally pulling his weight along with wildcards that must be decided on in pagan/bynum.
3 months of pie figuring out a glimmer of breaking pitches and putting his running game together isnt a meal ticket to the bigs...he's lucky he's in AAA, honestly...
not even 1/2 year ago a lotta this board was begging for pie not to be in the 07 mix based on a history that's seemingly been changed and thrown out based on a hot 1/3rd of a season.
if pie's not a serious part of 07, which it seems he's not...what is the big deal of him recieving hands-on, personal, and detailed instruction in arizona that's gonna follow him to the dominican.
what more credibility to the issue needs to be addressed? he's not being sent home to hit the clubs up for 1/2 year with a "hey, show up for ST sometime in march, dude!"

JOHN B: Yes. That is very possible.
you're fooling yourself
you're fooling yourself Mike. Theriot did risk the game far more than Pierre. He gave up an out when baserunners were needed. Pierre attempted to gain a slight advantage for his team by getting to third where he could score without the benefit of another hit.
Pierre was trying to help the team win, Theriot was doing the stat-padding. I'm sure that wasn't theriot's actual motivation there, but his steal attempt was needless. Pierre had something to gain by stealing there.
Ryan Theriot is
Ryan Theriot is hyper-aggressive the exact same way Ryan Freel is hyper-aggressive. I don't know if Theriot's brain is even turned on during a game. He plays baseball like an insect. He's just pure nervous system and skeleton. During the off-season, he probably is a cliff diver at Acapulco or maybe he hunts crocs in the Bayou.
I echo John B's sentiment
I echo John B's sentiment and have said it before. I don't want Dusty anywhere near Felix Pie's development.
Like I said Rob just your
Like I said Rob just your opinion.
You don't risk the game with our fastest baserunner in scoring position and the pitcher and catcher keeping their eye on his attempt of stealing 3rd, with the teams hottest and best hitters coming up.
I want Lee stepping to the plate with a RISP. Not with no one in scoring position.
Pierre was the winning run. You don't risk the winning run like that. My opinion, but if you think I am fooling myself, I think your doing the same. I wan't a RISP with our better hitters coming up in a tight game. Thats why we pay them the big bucks. I am not risking the game in an extremly risky chance of taking 3rd.
Dusty did not try and turn
Dusty did not try and turn CP into a lead off hitter (that was Baylor) and he is not the one trying to turn Pie into a lead off hitter.
Blah Blah Blah, it was
Blah Blah Blah, it was stupid of Pierre to try for 3rd, but Pierre's not the problem with the team.
I don't want Felix Pie
I don't want Felix Pie within 100 miles of the current big-league coaching staff. I don't want to see Pie in Chicago now. I'd like to see him brought up for a week when the Cubs visit AL West ballpark during interleague play and can afford to go with one less pitcher. Give him 10 AB over a week and let him be a defensive replacement for Murton, then send him back until at least the All-Star Break. I expect him to hit at least as well as Restovich (.293/.374/.560) against quad-A pitching (this year Pie's stats were .283/.341/.451) before Pie reaches Chicago on a full-time basis. If he really has improved during the second half of this year, then he should have no problem making that target by the ASB.
By comparison, I don't mind Scott Moore being up, because what the hell, somebody has to stand at 1B every third game this month while Lee is getting his rest, so it may as well be Moore instead of Mabry or (shudder) Blanco. I'd also like to see Moore play a few innings of SS, even if it's just the 7th-9th innings of blowouts.
The point is all Pierre was
The point is all Pierre was doing by stealing 3B was ensure that Theriot would be walked to set up the double play with the pitchers spot coming up next. That is why I felt it looked like stat padding. If Pierre's head was in the game he wouldn't have tried to steal and thereby take the bat out of Theriot's hands.
I agree Ryno, I love Pierre
I agree Ryno, I love Pierre and defend him alot on this site. I personally can't do it in that situation. It is just a matter of opinion in the way you want to accomplish getting the run. For me stealing 3rd and making enough contact for a sac fly is harder to accomplish than getting a single.
I know Theriot has been stinging the ball lately but he isn't exactly known as a deep ball threat. You gonna trust him to hit a ball deep enough much less in the air? He is more likely to hit a line drive single or grounder than do that.
I can understand RobG's side. Just gonna have to agree to disagree.
Any chance Mulder coming to
Any chance Mulder coming to the Cubs Million Dollar Rehab Club in 2007?
so they wouldn't have walked
so they wouldn't have walked theriot to set up the DP if Pierre was on 2nd, but first base was open? But they would walk him with Pierre on third? What am I missing?
And they were going to pinch-hit for Eyre, I believe they had Soto and Coats available from the right side at that time.
I'm not sure Theriot and pinch-hitter qualify as our best hitters. Theriot has been hot though. Who knows if they would have ever gotten to Lee.
The point is all Pierre was
The point is all Pierre was doing by stealing 3B was ensure that Theriot would be walked to set up the double play with the pitchers spot coming up next.
Hmmm...why would they walk Theriot if Pierre was on third but not if he was on second? That doesn't make sense...
Crunch? I guess...after
I guess...after mulling it over, I agree about Pie....it's not the end of the world not bringing him up....this I don't get:
"3 months of pie figuring out a glimmer of breaking pitches and putting his running game together isnt a meal ticket to the bigs...he's lucky he's in AAA, honestly"
Ok...I'll bite....what's your basis on that?
.283/.341/.451 aren't Barry Bonds numbers, but they aren't Doug Dacenzo numbers either.
Its not like his career numbers are .260/.295/.380... you know?
Jones is having a decent year....projecting out to 26 HR and 81 RBI....decent, but hardly great numbers, that are approaching his career bests. Defensively?? On the basepaths? UGH.
If Murton stays in LF, that's be great, but who knows what the Cubs will do with him in the off season. He's really mashing the ball since the ASB, but he also needs to work on his defense.
Pierre has played really well except for April/May. What the Cubs think he is worth, I guess, is what it comes down to, right?
Statistical highlights about
Statistical highlights about the I-Cubs:
Players with at least a .270/.340/.420 BA/OBP/OPS line over 100+ PA:
- Restovich
- Fontenot
- Pie
Pitchers with less than 1/3 BB/IP, more than 1/2 K/IP, and less than 4/3 baserunners/IP minimum 15 games or 50
- Hill (135:21 K/BB, 83:100 onbase/IP)
- O'Malley (71:30, 155:123)
Rob - What you're missing is
Rob - What you're missing is that a flyball out doesn't hurt the Pirates with Pierre on 2B. Most of the time one wouldn't even advance him to 3B. If Pierre would have successfully stolen third even Baker would have been smart enough to call for the IBB to Theriot. You give Theriot a chance to get himself out with a 1 down and man on 2B, you don't give him a chance with 1 down and man on 3B and pitcher's spot up next.
Dusty: ".283/.341/.451
".283/.341/.451 aren't Barry Bonds numbers, but they aren't Doug Dacenzo numbers either."
Yeah, but half of those AB are against guys who are almost as bad as Jerome Williams!!
If the Cubs were solid at all three OF positions, I'd wait for him to put up a .323/.487/.581 type run like Frank Thomas did at age 22 before the White Sox called him up (granted at AA, but in Birmingham which is a pitching-friendly place).
To use Cub examples, albeit from the way back (back when the Cubs had legitimate hitting prospects...):
- Rafael Palmiero, AAA 22, .299/.368/.547, 236PA
- Joe Carter, AAA 23 .307/.333/.508 539PA, 24 then .310/.366/.585 268PA before being traded
the pitcher was going to
the pitcher was going to hit? I'm guessing Baker would have used Coats to stay out of the DP if they did in fact IBB walk Theriot to set up the DP, which they wouldn't have done anyway.
AZ Phil: Assuming they are
AZ Phil: Assuming they are still with the Cubs, where do you think Mitch Atkins, Scott Taylor, Matt Avery, Ryan Norwood and Jesus Valdez will be assigned next year? Any of them going to jump to West Tenn? Any not even going to jump?
NICK: Felix Pie in his
Felix Pie in his final 64 games at AAA Iowa:
Plus, 13 SB (and only 3 CS).
Not to mention 18 OF ASSISTS (total) for the year.
mmmmmmmmmmm pie love....
mmmmmmmmmmm pie love....
Nick: You're going to
You're going to compare Pie to Frank Thomas, Rafael Palmeiro, and Joe Carter.....great.
So we'll see him in 2011?
"the pitcher was going to
"the pitcher was going to hit?" - Never said that Rob, just stated the pitcher's spot was up.
"I'm guessing Baker would have used Coats to stay out of the DP" - I never stated the next batter was guaranteed to hit into a double play only that the obvious move is to walk Theriot to set up the possibility and that Pierre should have been aware of that.
"if they did in fact IBB walk Theriot to set up the DP, which they wouldn't have done anyway." - Sorry I forgot you're a mind reader. But thanks for reminding me why I rarely comment here.
Phil, That's great, I knew
That's great, I knew Pie had improved in the second half, but didn't realize it was that much. I still don't want him near Dusty Baker, however!
Let the new manager give Pie every chance to make the starting line up in Spring Training. If he doesn't, send him down for a few weeks and see what happens.
if the pitcher wasn't going
if the pitcher wasn't going to hit why keep repeating that the pitcher's spot is up next? The fact that the pitcher's spot was up next is insignificant since a pinch-hitter would have obviously been used.
and then you call me out for being a mind-reader but the "obvious move is to walk Theriot". um, no, not obvious, not at all. They probably would have moved the INF in cause theriot doesn't hit a lot of flyballs.
"The fact that the pitcher's
"The fact that the pitcher's spot was up next is insignificant since a pinch-hitter would have obviously been used."
It's insignificant that instead of your typical #3 hitter coming up, a pinch hitter of the like of Geovany Soto or Buck Coats would be forced into action? I guess we have a different understanding of the definition for insignificant.
"obvious move is to walk Theriot"
Seems obvious to me to take the bat out of the hands of one of the hottest hitters on the team in favor of the roster bilge that Baker had to choose from for a pinch hitter. But again maybe we have a difference of opinion on what's obvious.
Dusty: Carter, Palmeiro,
Dusty: Carter, Palmeiro, Thomas... they were all permanent ML starters by 24. Thomas would have been one sooner, except he went to Auburn.
Pie turned 21 this season. He'll be the starting CF before he turns 23. The goal is for him to be a 10-year cornerstone starting OF, not Corey Patterson II.

See if you can deduce what I think (as things stand now) the Cubs 2007 Opening Day 25-man roster will be...
1st base was already open,
1st base was already open, if tracy was afraid of theriot he'd been walked regardless if pierre was on 2nd or 3rd.
I know Theriot has been stinging the ball lately but he isn't exactly known as a deep ball threat
with a guy on third and one out, there's a good chance the infield comes in as well opening up holes, not to mention infield single, bad bounce, etc, etc. The advantage is small, but it's definitely a better situation. If Lee was guaranteed to come up, then I'd be against it, but he was 2 batters away and we don't know that Theriot is going to walk there.
"Dusty did not try and turn
"Dusty did not try and turn CP into a lead off hitter (that was Baylor) and he is not the one trying to turn Pie into a lead off hitter."
He didn't? He didn't make a futile attempt at making Corey the Cubs leadoff hitter in 2005? I don't think Baylor looks that much like Dusty. You're right about Pie, Dusty isn't trying to do anything with Felix because he's not allowed around him. You can bet your ass he'd want to have him bat leadoff if he was around.
Pie isn't a leadoff hitter.
Pie isn't a leadoff hitter. Someday, if everything goes well, he'll be a Jacque Jones level power hitter... but with a good arm.
VORARE: I think this
VORARE: I think this offseason is going to be make or break. The organizational philosophy was good three years ago, but the circumstances dictate a change. It'll be interesting to see where Hendry goes with it.
I think it's BROKE already and gonna stay that way for the foreseeable future.
I hope I'm wrong.
Nick- I never said that I
I never said that I wanted Pie to be Patterson redux, I'm saying that comparing him to Frank Thomas, Palmeiro, and Carter is a little steep.
I think he'll be ready by ASB 2007...
pie has a very fast and
pie has a very fast and level swing. unless he gets injured its not gonna lessen.
a.soriano's name comes up a lot in comparisons, though soriano's hands are probally some of the fastest (if not the fastest) currently in MLB.
he might get jones level results, but i'd compare him more to mike cameron on that lower end of things, myself. his ceiling is definately a bit higher than 25hr/30 doubles anyway.
given his age and potential, im not ready to settle for "good enough" when you can have it better later and cheaper for longer.
its all a gamble to project prospects no matter how pimped out their tools are (hey, brooks k...how's retirement going?), but its also a gamble to give them a roster spot to waste their service time and skills on a level they're not ready on.
for bench players...who cares...but pie is a guy they've invested a lot of time/money in already (hey a.guzman, how's it going?).
Keep Pie far away from this
Keep Pie far away from this team, for now. If I remember correctly, this Iowa team is the first one he has played on in the Cubs organization that did not make the play-offs, and they were a tie-breaker away. He has the attitude of a winner and that won't last long with the current regime.
TCR Conspiracy Theory
TCR Conspiracy Theory #1,552:
Pie is not brought up so the impressionable youth isn't exposed to Dusty's odd ways or mess with his development.
What conspiracy
What conspiracy theory?
Most of the comments I'm don't say anything like the Cubs aren't bringing Pie up because the organization doesn't want him exposed to Dusty.
What several people have commented on is that they are relieved that Dusty Baker isn't being given the opportunity to work his "magic" on Felix Pie.
There's a big difference between the two.
comment #20 alluded to
comment #20 alluded to hendry doing pie a favor and possibly being kepy away from Dusty on purpose. But you know, one person's thoughts here become part of the TCR collective.
"possibly being kepy" should
"possibly being kepy" should be "possibly keeping him"..bleh

Top minor leaguers for each MLB team
Chicago: CF Felix Pie: For the better parts of two seasons, Pie, 21, has shown the skills to be a four- or five-tool player. Through 140 games for Triple-A Iowa, Pie is hitting .280 with 15 home runs, 33 doubles, eight triples, 57 RBI and 16 stolen bases.
Key Twilight Zone music:
"I'm sure he thought, 'I'm the only guy who wasn't called up.'"... "Sure, he was mad," Cubs player development director Oneri Fleita said of Pie.
We're in last place and we don't call up our best prospect in September..... Just insanity.
'nuff said.
Here's some fun for you
Here's some fun for you stat-heads. I made a scatogram of team payrolls v. w-l record. I have 2003-2006. Years 2003-2005 have been adjusted by average.

I hope so AZPhil, and while they're at it they need to move Angel Guzman and Juan Mateo to the pen as well. I don't want to see this trio start games at Iowa next season let alone in the show. I wish they'd move Guzman to the pen throughout September to see if he can hack it.
Maybe the Cubs think Pie is
Maybe the Cubs think Pie is their best trading chip this off season and bringing him up would risk his value?
Jake Fox made BA's final
Jake Fox made BA's final prospect hot sheet of the year.
Jake Fox, c, Cubs (Double-A West Tenn): A third-round pick out of Michigan in 2003, Fox made it to Double-A this season after spending all of last year--and half of this season--at high Class A Daytona. This has been a breakout year for Fox, who never hit higher than .287 in a season (low Class A Lansing, 2004). In 442 at-bats, Fox hit .294/.350/.514--with probably his most impressive stat being the 16 home runs he put up in the FSL.
Noticably absent are his defensive skills which AZ Phil has covered here a handful of times during the season so I won't get into those.
RYNO: Nice chart, but it
Nice chart, but it only lists the Cubs as the only team.

Yes, the other dots are the rest of the teams. The point isn't to see each specific team, but to see the trend and how the Cubs stack up to the rest of the MLB. The teal ones are the Marlins. I highlighted those just for the fun of it.

Does your crystal ball predict whether Gallagher or Veal will see significant time in either AAA or the bigs next season? :)

jose fernandez's number is going to be retired by FLA.
there's custom jerseys on their way to tonight's game (and hopefully will make it on time). all the marlins are going to wear #16 tonight.
this still sucks.
probably saturday depending on what they do with hammel (assuming friday for ham).
Lester is going to get one more start, right? It sure would be nice to see him get a shot at 20 wins.
Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.

I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.

The World Health Organization predicts that swine flu will spread so fast in the coming months it will seem to be a worldwide explosion of cases.
WHO officials said the flu pandemic could infect nearly 2 billion people within the next two years. That is nearly one-third of the world's population.
"At a certain point, there will seem to be an explosion in case numbers," WHO's Western Pacific director Shin Young-soo told a symposium of health officials and experts in Beijing. "It is certain there will be more cases and more deaths."
Health officials are looking into ways to speed up production of the swine flu vaccine.
They said it should be available as early as September.
So far, 1,800 people worldwide have died from the swine flu.

Attractive Opportunity
Warren Park, MS in Finance Student
Brown University graduate Warren Park has been in minority business development in San Francisco and he's worked as an analyst, and speech writer for the South Korean of Ministry of Finance. While in Korea for the first time for his new job, he started thinking about a graduate degree. And the MS in Finance program - twelve months long with a great reputation and an excellent faculty - was the perfect match. "The fact that this is a one-year program made it an attractive opportunity," says Park.
The MSF provides a unique learning experience by joining classroom studies and practical contact with the financial world. The intensive 12-month programs provides participants with an immersion into finance-related studies but requires a minimum of time away from their employment or other opportunities.
Real-world relevancy is incorporated into the curriculum through the practicum program that pairs students with finance companies to work on a business problem during the January semester break. It's a winning combination that gives the students experience, business contacts, and consulting experience.
The MSF program also offers its students options through the half-semester, intensive classes that offer students a chance to customize their program by studying a particular area in depth or learning about a wider range of finance topics. Additional advantages include Bloomberg certification, CFA preparation, visiting executive speaker series, and field trips to leading companies.
The College of Business at Illinois is one of the premier business programs in the country. Outstanding faculty, world-class corporate partners, and smart and challenging students combine for an educational experience that is second to none. The College offers an MBA, Executive MBA, and MS degrees in finance and in technology management. Multiple graduate degrees in accountancy are offered. Each of the three academic departments offers a PhD. A degree from Illinois is a smart investment in a bright future.
We welcome you to explore all of our College of Business profiles.

Former Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios didn't fare in the scoring as his Atlanta Thrashers dropped a 2-1 OT decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, and after the game, Chelios told the Toronto Sun's Mike Zeisberger that this season might not be his last...
March 26, Toronto Sun: In front of the cameras and microphones, Chelios seems energized by his role. Whenever he is asked if this will be his final season, the veteran defenceman breaks into a playful smile and says: "I never say never."
Maybe not to reporters. But is Chelios whispering a different tune behind closed doors? Chelios did, in fact, tell a friend in privacy this week that this season "will be it."
Still, Chelios finds himself "energized" because the 48-year-old's essentially mentoring 19-year-old Zach Bogosian, who raves about his defensive partner:
"It's exciting to get the chance to play with him," Bogosian said. "We've played the odd shift together but we've never been partners like this. "I knew there was a chance that he might be called up when he was with Chicago. And when it happened, it was so cool to meet someone you've looked up to for a long time. I've learned a lot from him. Since he came, we've spent a lot of time together, going for dinners, working on the ice, things like that. It's been amazing."

Love in the hunt at his own tournament
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Davis Love III found the perfect tonic for any Ryder Cup hangover -- playing golf, and playing well on a Sea Island course he knows better than anyone.
Using a long putter that doesn't quite reach his belly, Love got himself into the final group at the McGladrey Classic on Friday with a 4-under 66 to trail Arjun Atwal by one shot.
Atwal, who only has two tournaments left in a last-ditch effort to keep his card, had a 63 to take the lead going into the weekend.
Atwal was at 10-under 130, with plenty of familiar names right behind him. Jim Furyk, in his final official event of the year, had a 65 and was tied with Love.
David Toms and Bud Cauley were another shot back. Toms had a 67, and Cauley shot 70.

It has now been more than 110 years since Arnold Pick described the first of a series of cases separating focal atrophies from what at that time was called senile atrophy. The title of that article, "On the Relationship Between Senile Cerebral Atrophy and Aphasia,"1 reflects the essence of the case report, that of progressive aphasia, focal, temporal atrophy.

He has no credit, lame car, no money,and yet still has the sense of entitlement that most of these things should just come to him because he thinks he's a fucking cool guy.

LOCKPORT – The city's biggest parking project in nearly 40 years is bogged down in litigation, but that's not stopping the city from going ahead with plans for a parking study this summer.
Common Council President Anne E. McCaffrey said Wednesday that two University at Buffalo master's degree candidates in urban planning have been chosen to carry out a study of how to improve parking availability in the city's downtown business district.
Amanda Fowler and Leyla Akhundzada will meet Monday with city and business representatives, McCaffrey said.
The students will spend three or four days a week in Lockport this summer, interviewing business people and others to come up with recommendations by the end of the summer.
This development comes as the city's plan to demolish its parking ramp at Main and Pine streets is on hold until a lawsuit by a rejected bidder is settled.
Scott Lawn Yard of Sanborn bid $987,000 to demolish the five-level, 260-space ramp and replace it with a 42-space surface parking lot.
That bid was $190,000 less than the next-lowest offer, from Empire Dismantlement of Grand Island.
However, the Scott bid was deemed to be late, because the Scott employee who delivered it to City Hall was told by an unidentified city worker that he shouldn't be at City Hall but rather at the office of the city's engineering and design firm for the project, Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, in Buffalo.
According to the suit filed last week by Scott's attorney, John P. Bartolomei of Niagara Falls, Scott employee Christopher Juliano went to City Hall at 12:55 p.m. April 5, was told to leave and arrived at the Conestoga-Rovers offices on Delaware Avenue at 1:50 p.m.
A Conestoga-Rovers employee called City Hall, then told Juliano to go back to Lockport, where the bids were due at 2 p.m. Juliano arrived at about 2:30, where a Conestoga-Rovers employee opened his bid and told him it was the lowest of the 10 submitted. However, the Common Council, on the advice of Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano, awarded the contract to Empire on April 10.
On May 1, State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. signed a temporary restraining order barring any work until Scott's suit is settled. Attorneys are to appear before Kloch on May 23.
Mayor Michael W. Tucker said no work has been done other than a preconstruction meeting with Empire.
Before the legal hassle, the project was supposed to have been finished by the end of July. The ramp, which opened in 1975, has been closed since 2006 because of deteriorating concrete.

MOBILE, Alabama – A woman arrested in Mississippi and charged with murder in the death of her husband was denied bail by a District Court judge on Wednesday.
According to prosecutors Campbell, 32, and her boyfriend worked together to kill Re'Mano Campbell Sr. in Oct. 2011, in the hope they would cash in on the victim's insurance policy. Only recently did key evidence emerge that led to the pair's arrest.
Alexander Frank Williams, 27, was arrested in Prichard and charged with murder on March 27. The next day, Campbell was arrested in Harrison County, Miss., and transported to Mobile County Metro Jail.
On Wednesday, Judge George Hardesty denied bail for Campbell. Williams is also being held without bail, and is scheduled to be in court on Thursday.
According to police reports, Re'Mano Campbell – known as Ray-Ray – was shot to death at his home in Eight Mile. He was the father of four children, none of whom were home at the time of his slaying.
Campbell was a former U.S. Army sergeant and veteran of several tours in Iraq, who survived an improvised explosive device attack while deployed. His mother is a former Prichard police chaplain.
Several of the victim's family members were in court on Wednesday, wearing shirts in remembrance of Re'Mano Campbell.

B. Carpenter, Dr. N. S. Davis and numerous others equally as well known), as to its deleterious effects in disease, and notwithstanding the fact that the mortality rate from pneumonia is higher than fifty years ago, still we persist in using alcohol in pneumonia crouposa.

first off just let me say, if you are not going to read this whole post and pay attention, save my time and yours and don't reply. i have searched google and the support and forum features here for the answer to this problem with no luck. my 360 console will no longer recognize my wireless controllers. i have 2 of them. and neither one will connect. i've tried using both brand new AA batteries and my plug and play charge kit. nothing works. and yes, i've pressed the sync buttons on both the console and the controller. the green lights just spin around in circles like it is fixing to connect, then the lights on the console go off without indicating a controller was connected, and the lights on the controller go back to flashing. i can connect a wired controller. but only the older white models. i have a newer black wired controller and even when it is plugged in, the console says no controller is connected and the black wired controller won't work. has anyone else had a similiar problem? or know of how to fix this? don't really want to send my console off for repairs. i've had terrible luck with that in the past.
I read your whole post and paid attention.Sounds like you need to send your console in if like you say you have tried everything.
Same exact issue. Really don't want to send in considering this is my 4th console after 3 issues with rings of death.
using the controller via the cable,try holding in the snyc button while the controller is turned off,keep it pressed while turning on the controller then wait and see if it connects.dont let go of the snyc button until it does.
As GreyPilgrim said, if you've tried all the steps mentioned, it does sound like your console needs to be sent in for a repair. You can set one up here: myservice.xbox.com
Emily - Program Manager @ Xbox, Xbox One Preview Program
I have had EXACTLY the same problem and talked to xbox support and organised for it to be repaired, much to my dismay, as i would be missing my xbox for up to 3 weeks of my summer holidays. So after finishing on the phone I unplugged EVERYTHING from my xbox to see if it would fit into a box, luckily it didn't, so i put it back on the shelf, plugged everything in again and pressed the xbox button on my wirelss controller and, IT WORKED. Going to call support back and cancel the repair :) Hope this can help you, as it worked perfectly for me, now I just have to fix my dodgy wifi connection... Good luck ;)
i have the same problem bro
we have the same problem with a newer xbox but when we push the sync button on the console it doesnt light up at all. doesnt spin and the power button doesnt light up either. has anyone had any luck yet?
When I tried to power up my Xbox 360s this morning, instead of making the familiar 'ding' sound, it made a static crackle sound and would not power up. This happened 3-4 times until I unplugged the power brick. Then upon restart I had the fault described above. So I powered down, and unplugged the power brick from the console and mains, allowing it to drain fully, and the hdmi connection, and the wireless charging cables. Then after reconnecting the hdmi, the power brick, and powering back up it worked perfectly and recognised the wireless controllers too.
Greetings, Corbin. As this thread is over a year old, would you mind creating a new one for us by clicking this link forums.xbox.com/.../addpost.aspx ? If you can post a full description of your situation along with all of the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far that would be very much appreciated. Standing by for your thread!

I am super excited about this idea because I know that Audrey LOVES to color by numbers. So I thought...why not paint sight words by number? This one was a grand slam in her book! I plan to use the file folder to incorporate more sight word practice ideas. She painted the word they since it is her sight word for the week. I used a file folder because it is sturdy and can handle the tempra paint. You could easily just color by number if you didn't want to use paint. Also, if your child is still in the process of learning how to read their colors, you could write the numbers and words in their color.
Example: 1= orange, 2=blue, 3=red and 4=green.
Since the sight word paint by number was SO successful, she begged me to do another. I didn't want to confuse or overwhelm her with words so I drew (to the best of my ability) a butterfly. She was extremely proud of her accomplishments!!
Check back soon for more sight word practice ideas.

No, I was talking about the class itself accessing the file system. Any such transitivity attack should be caught in the class that has file access code, not the class merely forwarding a parameter to it. Remember, the goal is to reduce the number of classes that have to be examined by hand.

Can I just say I love this thread? So funny and so sad at the same time!
I've had plenty of funny CW moments, but one that often recurs is not-so-funny. Whenever I go out to brunch with friends, I usually go for an omelet or eggs with breakfast meat. These things always come with toast on the side, and I am usually asked what KIND of toast I want. I say "no toast, please" and then one of my friends invariably chimes in "I'll take your toast!" And it kind of makes me feel badly, but what can I do? They know about my lifestyle and have seen the changes in my body first hand. Live by example, that is all.

Smak (Serbian Cyrillic: Смак; trans. End of the world) was a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band, with strong jazz fusion and blues undertones. It was formed by guitar player Radomir "Točak" Mihailović in Kragujevac, in 1971. The group was, with some breaks, active during the 1970s, 1980s and the 1990s. Under Mihailović's guidance, The band, in all its line-ups, always strove towards a well-thought-out, complex and more rich musical presentation than what the rest of the ex-Yugoslavian scene was offering at the time. Their compositions included lengthy improvisations from all of the musicians (including vocalists). What also set them apart was the intentional use of a Laconic lyrical style, to help with the relative difficulty of pronouncing Serbian Language in energetic rock singing.
The original line-up gathered again in 1981, and with Dado Topić, released the LP Zato ne volim sneg, which was dedicated to Točaks recently deceased brother. It was supposed to be Točak's solo project, but their publisher (PGP RTB) considered it too risky and demanded it to be labeled as a "Smak" album. The most popular songs were the Macedonian folk tune "Zajdi, Zajdi" played as an instrumental composition in a bluesy 12/8 time, and the fast hard rock song "Juzni voz", sung by almost anonymous singer Zoran ivanović Hose, with guitar solos in an unusual scale. After that they split again.
During 1983, Točak recorded a Serbian patriotic war song "Mar na Drinu", with David Moss. This got unfavorable coverage in the government press at the time, as political songs were heavily restricted or censored. This particular song was also recorded by "The Shadows (Hank Marvin)", but was never released in Yugoslavia.
In 1986, with a new keyboardist Milan Đurđević, Smak came back and made the LP Smak 86 before splitting again. That album featured the songs "Sava" and "Kad spava sam".

The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Internal Revenue Service over what it called "illegal stonewalling" of a request for documents.
The RNC claims the agency is refusing to comply with a request for anything related to the IRS's handling of petitions by groups looking for tax exempt status.
According to the RNC website, the suit was filed because the agency has failed to provide documents requested under the federal Freedom of Information Act. The documents concern allegations that conservative groups received more scrutiny when they requested tax-exempt status from the IRS than did more liberal-sounding organizations.
"We're filing this suit because the Obama administration has a responsibility to be transparent and accountable to the American people. The IRS has a legal obligation to answer our inquiry for these records," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement. "If the IRS and the Obama administration don't have anything to hide, why not answer the request?"
According to a Fox News story, the IRS says they have spent hundreds of hours and millions of dollars complying with the requests.

Plunket is our first turtle and we decided to be a bit extravagant and get a Reeves turtle. We think it's a boy buy have no idea as it may take a few years to really show it's sex.
Here's a photo of Plunket. He's been feeding really well on a mix of pellets and various thawed frozen insects.
He's about 2 inches long and we're housing him in a 90x48cm tank with about 15cm of water and a couple of dry areas.
We'll get around to posting the full setup and some info about him in the upcoming weeks hopefully!

Boston—Follow-up virtual physician "visits" conducted through a web-based portal have moved into mainstream use at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston. This efficient mode of care delivery is receiving rave reviews from clinicians and patients, according to a presentation at the Medical Informatics World Conference held here in April.
An asynchronous (not conducted in real time) virtual visit or templated web visit involves a web portal and a condition-specific questionnaire. For chronic conditions, it is designed to replace an in-person, follow-up visit with a clinician.

Good ol' hockey! Even in a charity game the fighting spirit of hockey lives on. Too funny.

Gus was doing pretty well with Franzen and coincidently Franzen was doing great with Gus. Jurco on the other hand was doing great on the kids line. I just feel like putting those two lines back together will help with Jurco's comfort level, and hopefully playing with Gus will get Franzen hot.

I agree but I would also like to see what Jurco can bring for that line. He's a high energy guy who should make more room for Mule to get into shooting positions.

Hopefully there won't be any pre game injuries that put Cleary back into the lineup again....

I like this because they chose to dump Sammy rather than send down a kid who's been playing great instead!

According to Khan, Holland is meeting with coaches before they decide who to call up. HOPEFULLY its Jurco!

I'd much rather have Weiss at 4.9 than Fil at even 4 per. Great signing.

Tatar takes over for Brunner = much cheaper and could be better yet.
Weiss over Fil = Great improvement
Alfie over Cleary = Fantastic
Liking the offseason so far!

Being a Canadian, watching "Captain Canada", Stevie "Wonder" Yzerman created the Winged Wheel love for me. That and it was fun to watch the Russian 5.

I don't know what could really be done to address this. In high-speed contact sports like hockey, serious injuries of this sort are always a risk, albeit a remote one. It comes with the territory, so to speak.
One thing I remember growing up was there was a class or series of on ice sessions that taught everyone there on how to properly deliver a body check and how to take a hit. First thing you learn is if you are going to get hit, get against the boards. 9/10 times you won't get hurt. The moment you're even a foot away from the boards, you're vulnerable and risk injury. I know for a fact that I wasn't taught to engage a player before getting to the boards. Maybe this is a new teaching or it is just people being scared to be hit (and not knowing any better), but I see this play a lot now in the NHL. In this case, clearly, it isn't a wise decision.

KOAT medical Dr. Barry Ramo says bad breath is caused by a variety of problems including what you eat. Check out these 5 ways to avoid bad breath.
1. Clean your mouth
The vast majority of cases of bad breath are caused by bacteria in your mouth from the food you eat. The bacteria break down the food particles and release stinky substances like sulfates. Ramo says consistent fresh breath comes from regular flossing and brushing.
2. Keep your mouth moist
Dry mouth encourages bacterial growth, which can cause gingivitis or gum disease. To keep your mouth moist, drink plenty of water, use a humidifier in the winter and chew sugarless gum.
3. Eat the right foods
Garlic, tobacco and coffee all make your breath smell. Conversely, Dr. Ramo says drinking tea and chewing parsley might be helpful.
4. Check with your doctor
Sometimes bad breath can be a result of medical problems like esophageal reflux or GERD. Also, kidney disease or liver disease can contribute to bad breath.
5. Don't smoke or chew tobacco
Dr. Ramo says nothing is worse than the breath of a smoker. Smoking leads to gum disease as well. What is good for your heart is also good for your breath. If you stop smoking, both will get better.
