Cardinals fans, maybe. The Cardinals organization is thinking the following:
Let's hack into the Cubs computer systems and get as much scouting data as we can on Kyle Schwarber. Doing baseball the right way is way too much work, so let's find some way to cheat. Our fans are morans. They won't care.

they lost me when they gave a zillion minute standing O to mcgwire when he came back as a coach. cheating is one thing, dragging others through the mud and calling out their credibility to sustain your lies is another thing. that's screwing with people's lives to protect your own misconduct. cheating doesn't pay...except for the big paycheck for hitting homers and then coming back as a coach once you're busted to mentor younger athletes.

It is a great thing that the Cardinals can rely on the "competitive balance" draft pick. It is obvious that the morans NEED the help because no one goes to their games, and they have been mired in last place for years!

    Thank you for sharing Mike.  Sounds like the former owner was a high character human being and should be celebrated.  Haven't had a chance to attend a game there since I moved away from Des Moines in 2007 but recall it being a great ballpark experience.  Has there been any word of the new owners making any major changes?

    The IFA market isn't exactly an equal access thing. Not only do the Cubs have a slightly smaller bonus pool than some teams, players are often linked to teams through their trainers well before they are able to sign. It's not like when these kids are 14 that the teams know for sure that they have a top of the class player on their hands two years in the future.

    Cubbies.4ever - I read that the Cubs strategy with international free agents has been to spend most of their bonus money on young, position players and then take chances on cheaper, older pitching prospects who have been late bloomers (taller, stronger, more command of pitches, etc.). They are also grabbing guys at the end of the international signing period and signing them to future service contracts. They have six pitchers that were signed last year to future service contracts, and only one position player.

    Cubs IFA Signings are heavy on SS (given SS usually can play many positions as the develop), but only 1 pitcher.  Given it's still early.  Also disappointing that their best signing is #18.  Gone are the days of Soler, Eloy, Torres, Marquez, Amaya etc.  I believe Christian Hernandez last year was highly rated though.

    One more international free agent signing announced today: Daniel Benschop, OF, Aruba

    I hope all is well with AZ Phil. Hasn't posted in a few weeks and typically would expect him to have a post up tracking IFA signings. Maybe he's waiting for something official from the Cubs (who don't seem to have announced any of the signings officially)?
