Chicago Cubs 1938 World Series Pin

Chicago Cubs 1938 World Series Pin

Wow! You know that this Chicago Cubs 1938 World Series push pin is extremely rare. Not only is it over 70 years old but of course the Cubs haven’t been to the World Series in a couple of years either

In 1938 the Chicago Cubs lost the World Series to the New York Yankees. Yep, them damn Yankees; like they needed another World Series win, even back then.

Oh well, it’s still very cool to see. And after all… THIS IS THE YEAR!

Brett Jackson Rookie Card Donruss Elite 2009

Chicago Cubs Prospect Brett Jackson Rookie Card

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Brett Jackson has been a highly touted prospect from the start after the Cubs made Jackson their number one draft pick in 2009.  In his very first year in minor league baseball Brett showed off the hitting skills that made him a top pick with “five tool potential”, hitting a combined .316 over the three levels he played in over 2009.

Brett Jackson’s arm is rated as average but he has great range in the outfield, plays aggressive defense and is a natural center fielder.  Jackson uses his well above average speed both in the outfield and on the basepaths.  Jackson already has shown good power for a center fielder, hitting 8 home runs in just 53 games in 2009.  He also hits well from both sides of the plate.

Brett Jackson’s first season in the minors was good enough that it has already earned him a trip as a non-roster invitee to Cubs spring training in 2010.  He’s not expected to make the team, the Cubs management would just like to get a chance to see him in action.  Jackson could be make it to the majors fairly quick but not in 2010.  If he keeps progressing as a hitter we just might see Jackson pushing Marlon Byrd into right field in 2012.

Good luck Brett Jackson and I hope we see you in Chicago soon!

Rod Blagojevich, Delusional Cubs Fan

——

Rod Blagojevich is Delusional.  Technically, he’s a delusional Cubs fan, so I guess we’ve got something in common.  It’s quite embarrassing but still kind of funny anyway.

“I expect big years from both me and the Cubs in 2010- both of us are going to have winning years.”

- Rod Blagojevich to the Chicago Tribune on 1/6/2010

That’s right, Blago takes being delusional to a whole new level.

I can only agree with you on one of those points there Blago.  But hey…. Good luck on Celebrity Apprentice.

Josh Vitters Rookie Card Chicago Cubs Top Prospect

Josh Vitters was the Chicago Cubs #1 draft pick in the 2007 amateur draft and has been considered one of the Cubs top prospects ever since.  Starlin Castro may have stolen more of the spotlight lately as a top prospect but ESPN, Baseball America and MLB.com have all named Josh Vitters as the Cubs top prospect within the past two seasons.

Josh Vitters put himself on the Cubs top prospects list with two great minor league seasons in 2008 and 2009 for the Cubs single-A teams.  In 2008 Vitters hit a combined .322 with two teams and in 2009 he hit a combined .284, which included his .316 and 15 home runs season for the Peoria Cubs and manager Ryne Sandberg.

Click Here to Buy a Josh Vitters Rookie Card!

Vitters is still projected as a third baseman although his defense is considered only average at third so some scouts still believe he could end up in the majors as a first baseman or left fielder.  He doesn’t walk a lot but he doesn’t strike out a lot either. Vitters is projected as having the potential to be a 25+ home run hitter with great bat speed and a possible middle of the order hitter.

Josh Vitters will be invited to the Chicago Cubs 2010 Spring Training to get a chance to workout with the major leaugers and make an impression on Cubs management.  Vitters is not expected to make the team but the Cubs hope he learns from the experience and takes it with him into the 2010 season.  At only 20 years old he may be a couple of seasons away from the big leagues still but Cubs fans will get there chance to see Vitters soon.

We look forward to seeing you soon Josh.

Starlin Castro Rookie Card

Starlin Catro Rookie Card Cubs Top Prospect

So you’ve heard of Starlin Castro right?  Starting in about 2009, he’s been the most talked about Chicago Cubs prospect in the last couple years.  You still hear about Josh Vitters, Andrew Cashner and Brett Jackson but Starlin Castro has been stealing headlines, landing on everyone’s best prospects lists and talked about as being on the fast track to the majors.

He’s already been on Baseball Americas Top Prospects list, ESPN’s top prospects list (#12) and he’s just landed on MLB.com Top 50 Prospects of 2010 list at #22.  Everyone seems to be saying that Starlin Castro is the Chicago Cubs shortstop of the future.

Click Here to Buy a Starlin Castro Rookie Card!

So who is this Starlin Castro that everyone is talking about?  Starlin Castro is a 19 year old shortstop originally from the Dominican Republic signed by the Cubs in 2006.  Castro has three seasons of minor league experience and has had success at each level of the minor leagues he has played.

After hitting .311 in the Arizona Rookie League in 2008 he captured the Cubs management’s attention and gained a promotion to the Cubs Daytona affiliate in 2009 where he hit .299 and was promoted to the Cubs AA Tennessee Smokies affiliate where he played for Ryne Sandberg and hit .288.  From there he was promoted to the Arizona Fall league so he could continue progressing and finished with a .376 average there.

“I haven’t had a player go through the system who has done what he’s done” said Cubs player development director Oneri Fleita at the end of the 2009 season. “It seems like it takes some guys a year before we see any gains. We’re seeing gains in Castro weekly, monthly, if not daily.”

Starlin Castro is progressing at as a player, both offensively and defensively.  His hitting has been good and continues to improve but scouts say that his defense at shortstop is already major league caliber.  From everything the scouts are saying, they expect that he could be ready for the major leagues in another year.

In fact, some are saying we could see Starlin Castro in the majors before the 2010 season is even over.  At the very least, Cubs fans and his future teammates will see him in this years spring training.  Castro will get his chance for Lou Pinella and the Cubs coaching staff to take a look at him and to learn from the big league players.

Time will tell if Starlin Castro is the real deal or just the next Felix Pie but we do have reasons to believe in Castro.  He’s young, he’s hungry, he keeps getting better.  The Cubs won’t be calling up the 19 year old to the major leagues just yet but he is on the fast track.

Starlin Castro is going to be a star.

We’ll see you soon.

Chicago Cubs sign free agent Xavier Nady

Cubs Sign Xavier Nady

After hearing a few months of offseason Chicago Cubs Rumors about who the Cubbies new 4th outfielder would be, we finally found the player.  The much heralded new Cubs outfielder is Xavier Nady.  The Cubs signed Nady to a 1 year $3.3 million plus incentives contract.

Why has the Cubs quest for a fourth outfielder been such a big offseason question?  Well, for one there’s never enough new to talk about during the winter months so anything will do.  For another, there were a lot of interesting names available to fill that role for the Cubs.

And the most important reason is because that fourth outfielder is likely to see a good amount of playing time, and thus could improve the team.  Nady will split playing time with Fukudome, play backup for Soriano during his annual trip to the DL and sub for Derrek Lee when he needs a day off.

A guy who can play those three positions is bound to see a decent amount of playing time and at bats from the bench.  Heck, if he can hit like he did in 2008, Nady could steal Fukudome’s job.

Xavier Nady will be that fourth outfielder for the Cubs.  He is a former New York Yankee, Pittsburgh Pirate and San Diego Padre.  His best season was in 2008 when he split the season with both the Yankees and Pirates, when he hit for a .305 average, .357 OBP, .510 SLG. with 25 HR, 97 RBI.

That kind of season is the lighting in a bottle that Jim Hendry is trying to catch.  If Nady can hit and drive in runs he’ll easily win himself more playing time in the outfield.

Though he is only one full season removed from that career year, Xavier Nady missed almost all of 2009 due to rotator cuff surgery and thus was not a highly sought after free agent.  The Yankees let him go and the Cubs are counting on Nady to be healthy and ready to hit.

If he can, this could be a good signing.  The Cubs won’t really be depending on Nady to be a star, but if he can regain some of that 2008 form (we’re hoping for the same thing from Soto and Soriano too) then Xavier Nady could really contribute to the 2010 Cubs.

Welcome to the Chicago Cubs Mr. Nady.

Go Cubs!
