PrintWith yesterday's announcement of several new players being given minor league deals with non-roster invites to spring training, the spring roster is complete. There will be 59 players in camp.
This post lists the entire roster, plus coaches (and retired numbers, so you can see the entire numerical progression) and spring training instructors. All the numbers from 1 to 66 are either issued to someone or retired. And while we're on the topic of Cubs uniform numbers, here's another shameless plug. If you don't yet have your copy of "Cubs By The Numbers", the book co-authored by me, BCBer kaseyi and Matt Silverman, you can order yours at this link.

Dernier
Interesting that he dropped the 0 off his Cubs playing uniform.
Eamus Ursuli!
Al, will these be saved on BCB somewhere?
This is something I would stick in my pocket for spring training.
We'll miss you Big Boy. #10 for Hall of Fame.

Al
this is the hard hitting analysis that gets me excited for 2011!
looks like I wont be playing for the Cubs this year as my # (82) is taken…my heart breaks…
Or just good looking?

I downloaded it as a shortcut on my desktop, perhaps you’d wanna do the same? Pretty easy access.

Interesting article on Marty Mason
It seems like Mason got in Cardinal’s GM doghouse and was dismissed. He was a longtime right hand man of Dave Duncan.
If a quality pitching start is 3 runs and 6 innings, then a quality hitting day is 1 for 4.
I would think it was an excellent acquisition
Mason had an issue with the Cards minor league system which is very weak. He apparently is well liked by the younger pitchers so his position at Tenn might very well add much to guys on the way up.
If a quality pitching start is 3 runs and 6 innings, then a quality hitting day is 1 for 4.
I wonder if Scales
will set the record for number of years in our minors. Perhaps we can build a mini statue to him outside Wrigley.

Just fasten a bobblehead to the base of Harry's statue

If the marble can’t ttake that T.L.C….what’ll happen to the bobble-head?

Scales has only been in the Cubs organization since 2008.
Before that he spent seven years in the Padres chain, one with the Phillies org, and one with the Red Sox.

Longer!

Luis Montanez
has to be getting pretty close to the record in our system, right?
Anyone know who the longest tenured minor leaguer for the Cubs is ever without playing in the bigs?

Yeah, but ours before that and now he is back.

Me and Mr Wrigley are going out to lunch today!
He said his meetings are always catered by the McDonalds $1 lunch menu!
He said we might see his brother Todd working there but to keep it a secret!
What, no Steely Dan reference here

This is a post about numbers that even I can understand.
BTW I find your book to be a wonderful reference.
i was told there'd be no math

Its algebra...
a=how bad you are
b=how high your number is
c=chances of making the team
hint=almost all of the answers for C = 0
30 days...
Darn it, hurry up!!

Not necessarily
If one of the high numbered players does make the team they could claim a lower number once the season starts and lower numbers become available.
John Grabow: $4.8 million in 2011.
We better enjoy the 2011 baseball season - it might be the last pro sports (save NHL) for awhile.

I think MLB will settle.
There are issues, but the two sides seem amicable and understand the dollars at stake.
NFL and NBA? Not so much.
Check out Chicago sports coverage at SB Nation Chicago
So, assuming no trades or unexpected releases (dome, baker, Silva) or injuries (sigh..) there are 38 guys for 5 spots..
assumed locks being 8 starters plus Hill (probably) and Colvin (unless he pulls a hoffpauir), and 4 SP (z, demp, garza and wells), Marmol, wood, marshall, Grabow, Silva. and Caridad.
3 more offensive players – Johnson, Barney (Baker or Dewitt released), Perez
2 more pitchers – Russell and Guzman or Shark (ok.. fat chance on shark)

Shark will make the team
unless he has a horrible Spring Training.
Stay tuned..
I hope I’m wrong, though.

Sorry, I think Shark's going to be end up being trade bait somewhere

I don't know which way we shall go ..
One summer dream .. one summer dream ..
coda
ELO, 1975
not until next offseason
no trade clause in 2011
He'll wave it so he can pitch in the big leagues...
Yankees and Larry Rothchild will take him…and NOT soon enough.

Actually, you might be on to something here.
If the Yankees would take his deal, I’d send him there and not ask for much in return.

While he may waive his NTC
and I wouldn’t ask for much in return, he kinda has to pitch in the bigs this year, or get released.
True.
I could see the Yankees using him in their bullpen, though. The Cubs don’t really have room for him there.

Guzman seems like he'll get sent to extended rehab
Barring that, he could become Jim Hendry’s Chad Fox2.0
Auto racing writer, SB Nation Indiana. Because in 49 other states, it's just sports!
Disagree
You have 6 outfielders and 5 infielders. Assuming the 12 man pitching staff you’ll have either Johnson or Perez and both Barney and Baker making the team.
John Grabow: $4.8 million in 2011.
good call.. Forgot about perez being OF.. (ST for Discub too, evidently)
Can’t we just get Reyes and call it good?

"I've never heard of half of these guys....."
…and the ones I do know are way past their prime."
“This guy is dead.”
“Cross him off the list then!”
Not really, I always just have to recite that little bit of comedy as Spring Training approaches each year.
"Don't complain to me about the stormy weather, boys. Just bring the ship into port." --Steve Stone, September 2004
Similar to:
Smithers: “I’m afraid all of those players have retired and, uh… passed on. In fact, your right fielder has been dead for a hundred and thirty years.”
Mr. Burns: “Damnation! All right, find me some good players. Living players!”
"If a horse can't eat it, I don't want to play on it." Dick Allen
You, Mattingly! Trim those sideburns!!!
