Vitters/Jackson Latest Cub First Round Busts

Cubs' 2007 First Round (#3 overall) bust Josh Vitters appears to be the next Tyler Colvin. He looks to be future Rule 5 material along with first bust Brett Jackson. They join other Jim Hendry/Tim Wilkin busts Ryan Harvey, Mark Pawelek, Bobby Brownlie, Grant Johnson, and Hayden Simpson in baseball oblivion!

Cubs Lose In Brutal Fashion To Arizona 9-3 Saturday Nightt

At least Renteria only used three pitchers and not his usual nine!

Edwin Jackson Just Plain Sucks!

So far signing career LOSER Edwin Jackson has been the only real misstep of the Theo Epstein regime in Chicago. Players like Jackson are difficult to watch. He is obviously mailing it in (or should I say texting it in.) There is a reason Jackson is on his 8th team and has a career losing record, HE IS A LOSER! They need to rid themselves of players like Jackson so he doesn't poison the minds of their young prospects. I would take a bag of broken bats right now for this absolute bum! (Hey Edwin don't forget to ask for extra cheese on that pie!)

Cubs' First Round Pick Schwarber Rockets Through System

Cubs 2014 first round draft pick Kyle Schwarber from Indiana is blasting through the Cubs' minor league system this summer. Schwarber started 2014 at short season Boise and promptly took apart Northwest League pitchers (.600-4-10) in 5 games. He was then promoted to Low Class A Kane County of the Midwest League and continued to hit (.361-4-15) in 23 games. Schwarber was recently promoted to High A Daytona of the Florida State League and is already homered in just 3 games (.364-1-1.) Schwarber's overall numbers are (.404 9 HR 26 RBI, 9 2B, 1 3B and 17 walks in just 31 professional games. It looks like the Cubs have another potential impact bat on their hands.
