Didn't see this posted, but Cubs hiring of Joe Bohringer as the new pro scouting director is another big win by teh cubs. Guys using computers and experience? What a novel concept. 

And...here's another totally awesome smart guy, new Assistant to the General Manager, Shiraz Rehman.

It's like a Matryoshka doll of baseball guys!

Asking as someone who's never heard of it, is Bleacher Nation the Bleacher Report of the Cublogosphere?

No, but the name is unfortunate. Bleacher Report has ruined the word Bleacher for everyone.

That said, I believe it's run by a fella the older members here may know as Ace.

It's like a Matryoshka doll Daryle Ward Jimmy Anderson pizza  of baseball guys!

Hey... Anyone remember 20074 and 20085? Those years were kinda fun.

For the most part.

I think we're starting to lose the plot here.

Unless Jimmy Anderson had other men nested inside him. Which is a possibility.

Remember having useful bench players? That didn't suck.

I assumed that was just a fever dream.

Translation: We will give Carlos an opportunity to rebuild some value before trading him to the Yankees at the deadline.

Also: Carlos was my 30th call, after I called every GM in baseball offering him up.

This alone would be refreshing.. Hendry would have spent the entire offseason talking about how zambrano is worse than hitler, falling apart mentally and physically, then paying his entire salary to dump him for nothing.

The entire offseason? He'd still have to find time to eat and sign Prince Fielder and go to dinner with him.

Eat him, sign him, then have dinner with him?  Man, that Hendry had skillz.

Is this supposed to be about Marmol?  Because I read that Theo was taking calls on him, but you may have linked the wrong article.
