Players attending the Cubs Convention

by AndHart120 on Jan 15, 2009 12:59 PM CST

I am surprised to see no one has posted a list of who will be attending the convention yet. I did do some searching and found this list:

Ernie Banks
Darwin Barney
Glen Beckert
Milton Bradley
Bob Brenly
Bill Buckner
Randy Bush
Jose Cardenal
Neal Cotts
Doug Dascenzo
Jody Davis
Ivan DeJesus
Ryan Dempster
Bobby Dernier
Leon Durham
Oneri Fleita
Mike Fontenot
Joey Gathright
Doug Glanville
Kevin Gregg

Brandon Guyer
Rich Harden
Kevin Hart
Jim Hendry
Koyie Hill
Micah Hoffpauir
Pat Hughes
Randy Hundley
Ferguson Jenkins
Reed Johnson
Len Kasper
Crane Kenney
Ted Lilly
Carlos Marmol
Sean Marshall
Aaron Miles
Keith Moreland
Dave Otto
Gerald Perry
Lou Piniella

Mike Quade
Rick Reuschel
Larry Rothschild
Jeff Samardzija
Ryne Sandberg
Scott Sanderson
Ron Santo
Matt Sinatro
Lee Smith
Alfonso Soriano
Geovany Soto
Tim Stoddard
Lester Strode
Ryan Theriot
Alan Trammell
Steve Trout
Randy Wells
Tim Wilken
Billy Williams
Carlos Zambrano

I'm kind of surprised to see no Derrek Lee, Rick Sutcliffe, or Andre Dawson.

Paul Sullivan (Tribune) noted in his story today how

Felix Pie, Ronny Cedeno and Rich HIll, who are all out of options, will not be attending the convention. Felix Pie was there last year signing autographs. Sullivan anticpates all of them on some other teams roster come opening day.

Dallas Green!

I really hope. . .

Hendry can spin some gold out of those 3. . .

Paul Sullivan with breaking news yet again !!!

Gee, who could have guessed that Rich Hill, Ronny Cedeno and Felix Pie are on the market? What would we do without the wondrous beat reporters of the Chicago Tribune sports page. It is reporters like Paul Sullivan that are putting the Tribune out of business.

um ok...

… do you expect Paul Sullivan to not report it? It may not be breaking news but its worth noting… and you also have to realize that 98% of Cub fans are not nearly as attuned to Cubs news than people who post and read here regularly.

So maybe you should take it down a notch.

Not everyone follows the Cubs with the autistic level of fervor that you and I might

wow

he’s a reporter. He’s not reporting them being on the market directly, he’s reporting they won’t be at the convention.

Take a look at all these trees — wait! This is a forest???

not to defend Paul Sullivan

but if you think a reporter missing some scoops is why the Tribune is going out of business, you clearly don’t understand the media landscape these days.

my coworker heard on the radio Lee has a family wedding this weekend. Sutcliffe only comes every other year or so. Dawson has been hit and miss as well.
