Simpson, Jackson, Vitters Join Cast Of Jim Hendry First Round Busts!
One of the chief reasons the Cubs are in the rough shape these days is the woeful drafts under Jim Hendry. 2010 first round bust Hayden Simpson was last seen in 2013 with an ERA of 15.95 with Southern Illinois of the Frontier League. Simpson was supposed to be a hidden gem that was found by the truly overrated scout Tim Wilken.
2007 first rounder (third pick overall) Josh Vitters and 2009 first rounder Brett Jackson are both barely hanging on in AAA Iowa (both will most likely never play for the Cubs again.) The duo join other Hendry first round busts Mark Pawelek, Bobby Brownlie, Ryan Harvey, Grant Johnson (2nd round) and that other Tim Wilken diamond in the rough Tyler Colvin.
Forget all that Billy Goat nonsense, look no further than bad management for the Cubs futility over the years!
Big WINNER Garza Gets His Ass Kicked Again!
In case you missed it, future Hall Of Fame pitcher Matt Garza got his ass kicked again the other day, which landed the BIG WINNER on the DL again (just like in Chicago!) Garza is now 1-3 with 5.00 ERA in Milwaukee. Perhaps the BIG WINNER Garza is trying to pitch his way out of Milwaukee!
