As I stated, I am down in Mesa at Wrigleyville west...next to Cubs, Sloan park.

Toured park on Tuesday, told by a few guys who showed me around watching the game at Stats bar and grill, in hotel.

Ended up being entire fall ball team and coaches! great stories, great reactions,....during the fight/scrum, i thought the place was going to erupt...just cool hanging with so many of these guys that are friends with Addy, Schwarbs, KB, etc.

somestories for publication, some for not....but trays of shots on Cubs organization to end it all.

Be back in Chicago thursday....this is going to be good!!!!

Wilson Contreras big , strong hands.....didnt check out his feet! sorry

Did you talk to Bryan Hudson? You should have asked him how he came up with his $1.1M asking price.

so you're on a colloquial level with the guys now? damn the cubs really know how to hook up their people!

NOT GIVING UP ALL MY SECRETS...

Pretty sure I feel good in saying I watched that game with some of the most intense guys around....The scrum, I thought some of these guys are going to take down the TV's

Didnt talk to any 6'8" pitchers, but pretty sure you know who he was.

Met Starlins best friend, former player, now Groundskeeper! Kinda looks and acts like Starlin, thought it was a relative,

The whole Bar & Grill was 95% Cubs fans, was a very cool night....

if you do head down there and a few might one day for Spring training, excellent food in that place as well, so can eat in the hotel then walk over....regular rooms at the Sherato Wrigleyville West will start at $328 march 1.

I just looked Willlllllson up and he's listed at 6'1" 175. Is that accurate? 175? That's awfully small. It would be extremely difficult for that slight a frame to absorb the punishment of an everyday catcher. The average weight for a major league catcher is 216. He's 23 years old so I'm not sure how much more time he has to pack on the weight and if that number is even close he has a long way to go.

Well Soze, after my 8th Jack and Diet, he could have been 6'4"...and the only reason I remember him, or I think, is because I met another guy named Wilson, who was in our group and I was talking to and determined it wasnt Contreras, even though I thought it was......

I would be like if someone said 'hey, this is Pierce"...you might assume its Pierce Johnson, as its not that common of a name...would have thought Wilson would be limited to 1 guy

I should have been doing a much better job at evaluating future talent instead of drinking. My bad :(
