    Cubs 2013 preview: A bit better pitching, but rebuilding still grinds along slowly By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, March 29, 2013 Theo Epstein is getting double for his money these days. First, the former lifelong Bostonian is getting a valuable education in Chicago politics as the three- cornered debate over Wrigley Field renovations shows how Clout City USA really works. And yet all the arguments over whether the Cubs should get seri- ous with Rosemont and consider moving if they don’t get a renova- Cubs GM Jed Hoyer (with wife Merrill) and boss Theo Ep- tions deal very soon give Epstein stein have once again constructed a roster that can be and his baseball operations depart- disassembled via mid-season trades. ment a big break. Off-the-field issues involving Wrigley Field, whether the installation of lights, falling concrete or Arne Harris’ hat shots, are always far more than sideshows. They become the main story, relegating the Cubs’ on-field fortunes to notebook status. The taffy pull involving Tom Ricketts, Rahm Emanuel, Tom Tunney, the rooftop owners and the vil- lage of Rosemont absolutely shifted the Cubs’ spring-training countdown to Opening Day to secondary news-angle status. If all focus was on the team itself, the conclusion would be a sub-standard roster with a slew of place-holders that is being intentionally fielded for the second-year in a row. Worse yet, as Epstein vows a rebuilding-from-the-ground-up strategy, there are no pitching phenoms or fresh-faced hot rookies as attention-getters to make the continual losing more palatable.

  • Sox's New Trier Connection Gets Stronger with Tilson, Huff
    White Sox's New Trier High connection gets stronger with Charlie Tilson, Mike Huff By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 9, 2017 The White Sox’s historical New Trier High School connection just got a little stronger.

Former Sox outfielder Mike Huff, vice president of baseball/fastpitch, and bunting and baserunning instructor at the west suburban Lisle-based BullsSox Academy, was New Trier’s representative on the 1993 AL West champion Sox. Since Tilson came into the Sox organization last summer via a trade from the Cardinals, the fellow former Trevians have had “a couple of great conversations.” Then they stayed in touch via e-mail. “Stay true to yourself,” was Huff’s main counsel to Tilson, slowed in Glendale due to a foot injury. If Tilson does win the center-field job, and needs some familiar pick-me-up from Huff, the latter will consider asking the permission of GM Rick Hahn and manager Ricky Renteria for supplement the advice the kid gets from Sox coaches. “I know they’d be 100 percent behind that,” said Huff.

  • Green Roars in Book, but Still Leaves out Some Key Cubs Angles
    Green roars in book, but still leaves out some key Cubs angles By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, September 13th, 2013 Dallas Green always had a voice so pow- erful you could hear him before you could see him. Those vocal cords emoted loud and clear over the long-distance line from his Mary- land farm. He hardly needed wires to make the connection. At 79, “Big D” sounds the same as he did in his voluble tenure as the franchise-changing Cubs general manager from 1981 to 1987. And if you think one year away from be- ing an octogenarian has played tricks with his memory, well, you don’t know the 6- foot-5 Green. Nearly three decades have passed since he shook the Cubs to the foundations, and paid the price for suc- cess not imprinted every year with his job. Like the elephant, he has not forgotten the Michigan Avenue suits who ardently wooed him, then pulled the quick hook on him after a little more than half a decade. Dallas Green may be all-white-haired on top at 79, but his voice is still heard loud and clear. Photo “Honestly, the Tribune (Co.) in terms of credit The SABR Office. money and position advancement was very good to me,” Green said. “Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish what I started or enjoy the possibility of going to more playoffs and World Series. That has stuck in my craw pretty much. “It was my first experience with corporate ownership (after working for the Carpenter family-owned Phillies).

  • Quintana-For-Quality Kids Could Be
    Quintana-for-quality kids could be biggest – and best-ever – Cubs-Sox trade By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, July 13, 2017 Jose Quintana promises in the short run to be more impactful to the Cubs than Sammy Sosa was in 1992. Eloy Jimenez could be as valuable to the White Sox as Jon Garland was for the long run. What likely was the biggest trade in Cubs- White Sox history on July 13 – the 15th be- tween the teams involving big-league players – will be one of the uncommon deals that works out for both franchises. Jose Quintana (left) should stabilize the Cubs ro- tation for years to come, while Eloy Jimenez The Cubs have a lefty starter in Quintana (right) enlarges an impressive White Sox cache of who should rank No. 3 in the rotation, if position-player prospects. not higher as the years progress that he is under control for the North Siders. Meanwhile, outfielder Jimenez is rated in the same ballpark as top position-player prospects Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert in a Sox farm system that was almost totally barren of impact youngsters a few years ago. Sox general manager Rick Hahn played poker expertly in initiating the Quintana talks, completed late on July 12, to counterpart Theo Epstein on the final day before the All- Star break. With the July 31 trade deadline still three weeks away, Hahn took advantage of two an- gles in moving Epstein off square one. A southpaw like Quintana would likely be the subject of a numerous serious trade inquiries, including one from a revived Milwaukee Brewers team the Cubs now must catch in the NL Central.

  • Jimmy Buffett at Wrigley
    Aug. 28, 2005---- A new neighborhood dawned on Oct. 2, 1984. The Cubs were opening the National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres. Jimmy Buffett flew in to Chicago to sing the national anthem in honor of his friend, Steve Goodman. * Goodman was a popular Chicago singer-songwriter who had died of complications from leukemia just four days before his beloved Cubs clinched the Eastern Division title. There wasn't a cloud in the sky as Buffett walked to home plate. The Cubs went on to win 13-0. * Magic was in the air. * Until 1984, Wrigley Field nightlife consisted of a few seedy bars such as Ray's Bleachers, the Sports Corner and the Cubby Bear. Stages was making the transition from a gay dance club into Metro. The appearance of a magical court jester like Buffett became the metaphor for what is now Wrigleyville -- Chicago's 21st-century answer to Bourbon Street. * The magic returns next weekend when Buffett headlines two sold-out appearances at Wrigley Field. These are encore vintage ballpark shows, following a successful Sept. 10, 2004, concert at Fenway Park in Boston. At that show, in an onstage skit, Buffett and his Jolly Mon character helped knock out "The Curse of the Bambino" and the Red Sox's 86-year championship drought. Buffett has his work cut out for him to break the Cubs' 96-year championship drought. But in a conversation earlier this month from his Nantucket, Mass., home, he pondered, "There's still a mathematical possibility of the wild card, so who knows?" Buffett remembers taking his '84 Wrigley Field debut seriously.
