I think they took some over slot kids that they already signed.
If they don't sign a Aiken they may be over and lose the pick
anyway.

Until MLB starts finding out why pitchers get hurt so often, I'm
not sure how you can justify a high draft pick on a pitcher.
The risks are just so high.

To qualify for the #2 pick next year, the Astros would have to
offer him at least 40% of slot value ($3,168,840), and Aiken
would have to reject it.

That's a good point. I didn't think about that.
If Aiken badly flunked his physical, that kind of money still
has to be very appealing to him.

Some of you asked me about MLB14 The Show a few days ago and
wanted me to tell you what I thought about it after I played it
a little. Its very similiar to last years but the gameplay is a
little sharper and the graphics are a little more clean. The
most important thing to me is always gameplay realism as in the
cpu making correct throws and decisions and such and not hitting
12 hrs a game and throwing a no hitter every time and all of
that stuff seems to play realistic too.

Every time I watch a Braves game, I'm reminded how lucky we got
when Chip Caray got his feelings hurt and the Cubs ended up with
Len instead. The Chip Caray/Joe Simpson booth is terrible.

Len is the best PBB guy the Cubs have had since forever.

Am I the only person who sees absolutely no conflict in the last
two posts?

Len is no Harry Carey to be sure. Harry was the embodiment of a
passionate fan - with all that entailed. He was a larger than
life personality.
Len is, on the other hand, an extremely knowledgeable and very
articulate and, for the most part, entertaining play-by-play
announcer.
