Iowa is rained out again. There will be a doubleheader
Wednesday afternoon.

Simpson is going to go down as one of the most puzzling and
preposterous draft picks in Cubs history.

Worse! At least Colvin got a sniff of the big leagues, and
fooled some people into thinking he could be a regular. Simpson
may never get past the FSL.

Man, I wish I could be such a good judge of baseball talent to
know, with such certainty, what kind of careers Colvin and
Simpson are going to have at this stage of their development (or
earlier), not to mention Vitters.
If I were that good, I could probably make a career out of being
a baseball scout or other talent evaluator.

I'm sure Simpson's still dealing with the worst case of mono
ever to befall on a human being.

Well craig, you did say hold back on the patience and it's early
kind of stuff, but that is all true. We're only talking about
roughly around 10-11 games for each of our minor league teams so
far.
I'm not terribly encouraged by a lot of the starts we've seen
either, but there's still plenty of time and hope for a lot of
these guys to redeem themselves. We saw Simpson flash some good
stuff in his first start, and we might find out that these last
two starts are just simply nothing to be worried about. Kurcz
had a strong spring and might rekindle some of that soon.
Sczcur has been dealing with leg injuries. Perhaps Golden gets
a wakeup call by being demoted so quickly.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I had mono when i was about 25....I had no energy for 6 months
and it was over a year before i finally returned to my pre-mono
energy levels....it was not fun. Its just one of those things
you struggle thru until its no more. If he's still feeling the
after effects, the days he doesn't have his best stuff, it'll
prollly be a lil tougher to battle thru, but I wouldn't hold any
struggles this year against him and still have high hopes for
him....

Simpson needs to go shoplift some shirts, then he'd get some
love.
