Busch contract is glorious for Cubs, terrible for him *
 Previous Message Obviously those guys are all going to have different career trajectories, but provides a pretty straightforward focus area in the near term of corner OF and starting pitching. Hope Alcantara can take a step forward and claim one of those corner OF spots long-term. Previous Message
Getting some clarity on the roster for opening day. Sadly Seiya on the IL. Ben Brown makes the team. Assad to Iowa
So looks like
Kelly
Busch
Hoerner
Swanson
Bregman
Happ
PCA
Conforto
Ballesteros
Amaya
Shaw
infielder acquired in trade?
Alcantara or Carlson. I think Carlson cause Kevin has options
Boyd
Cabrera
Taillon
Imanaga
Horton
Brown
Rea
Harvey
Thielbar
Webb
Milner
Maton
Palencia

Hello, is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you.
