Brett Jackson Just One More Jim Hendry Draft Casulaty

If case you didn't hear former Cubs' 2009 first round draft pick Brett Jackson was quietly shipped to Arizona this summer for a minor league pitcher. Jackson now joins the ranks for Mark Pawelek, Hayden Simpson, Ryan Harvey, Vosh Vitters with the rest of former GM Jim Hendry's first round busts. Let's hope Javier Baez doesn't join them!

Renteria Gets Raw Deal From Cubs

I certainly had a few problems with former Cub manager Rick Renteria early in the 2014 season but in the end I would say he did a pretty reasonable job, especially after all the trading activity. Renteria did nothing at all to warrant being fired. I think it was a real disgrace the way he was treated by Cub management and I hope he surfaces with another team.
