Some good ones this AM.

Only the second time Marmol has blown a three-run lead and the Cubs lost!
Sveum is a strategic genius and will be here for the long haul.
Rizzo's struggles are normal for a young player.
Castro is just fine, just needs to make more solid contact. Jedtheo loves him!!

The Marmol point is bad.

Did he give an example of a strategic move for the genius? Not buying that one. I agree with the poster that said he is here babysitting until the team is ready to be good.

The points on Rizzo and Castro are right on the money.

I dont think they love Castro

I do think its a little pre mature to panic about Castro and even moreso Rizzo

So how many major league ABs in combination with age do we need in order to make a fair assessment of what kind of career a guy is going to have?

What if I said Viciedo is going to be the next Jim Rice...just you wait and see. He's young yet.

You'd rightly say I was nuts.

Castro still needs to play better defense.


This sounds more like something Phil Rogers or Paul Sullivan would write/say

I'm kinda getting too close to 'done' with Castro for comfort.

I still expect Rizzo will be fine.
