Quote from: Bort on September 16, 2014, 05:30:29 PM
Leaving Florida for SC to escape rain is like leaving North Dakota for Chicago to escape the winter.

On the one hand, Myrtle Beach has 52" rain/year compared to 49" for Daytona.

But on the hand that's actually important, Daytona had 22 rainouts in 2014, Myrtle Beach had 5.

This is the one time ever that someone is saying South Carolina is better for something than another place, can't you just be happy about it?

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

With one announcement left to make, Myrtle Beach replaces Daytona and South Bend replaces Kane County.  No word yet on their short season-A/rookie slot and Boise is still listed on the Cubs' site as their affiliate.

Looks like Eugene is switching from San Diego to the Cubs.

Hope they raise the THC thresholds in MLB.

Cubs (and a couple other teams) using neuroscience to figure out if batters can be rewired to be better, smarter.

I have no idea how valid this is, but I freaking love our front office so much that they're at the forefront of this stuff. 

Yet another lightspeed difference from the last guys.

Not too surprising. Chris Moore is the Cubs' new-ish Director of R&D and he studied neuroscience at Princeton.

Some examples of stuff he's written about before joining the front office:

It was more embarrassing than usual to be a Cub fan that season.

Too bad the Cubs won't have any prospects anymore after MLB gives them all to Tampa for tampering.  :(

Quote from: Out in Left FieldMaddon proved his lack of integrity. The Cubs ownership never had any. The one I am surprised about is Epstein. He seemed on the up and up, but he was right in the middle of this slimeball move. The bottomline is that baseball is a game that is not kind to those that have no honor.

QuoteHere is one baseball official who has participated in several managerial negotiations and hires: "As a player, you'd never want to go after someone else's job while the person is still in that job. It is just plain wrong for a coach or his agent to openly talk about a job when there is another human being.

That was the part that was baffling to me. I'm sure Mike Trout's backup is always striving to take his job. He can't because he's not as good as him, but he's always going to try to be better than Trout.

Also, when Jon Lester comes here, he's taking someone's job. Is he not supposed to come because the rotation possibly has Arrieta, Wood, Hendricks, Dubrount (sp?), Turner, EJax, Straily, Jokisch, etc?

QuoteAsked if he had ever heard of a managerial candidate speaking with a team while another man currently held the job, the official said, "I have never seen it happen. This is a totally new one to me. You have every right to go after a vacant job. There is no vacancy here."

It may be new to baseball, but in the rest of the workforce, I'm pretty sure people get fired for someone better all of the time.

Every free agent who signs with a new team is taking somebody else's job. This is the most horseshit stab at rationalizing asshurt I've seen in quite a while - at least one that doesn't involve holding public office.
