A large part of that process is deciding on who to keep and who to let go. http://cubs.scout.com/2/852953.html 2047 Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/852953.html Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:37:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs If you had predicted at the time they were drafted that the Cubs’ three highest selected players from the 2003, 2004 and 2005 draft classes would collectively receive only slightly more than a cup of coffee above Class A ball, you might have garnered a few quizzical looks. Yet that is the reality with a week remaining in minor league spring training 2009. http://cubs.scout.com/2/852035.html 2047 Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/852035.html Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:04:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs Three Cubs pitching prospects are out of Arizona following stints on the disabled list. http://cubs.scout.com/2/752642.html 2047 Combined Reports http://cubs.scout.com/2/752642.html Mon, 05 May 2008 20:54:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs From the moment he was selected with the Chicago Cubs first pick in the 2004 draft (66th overall), Grant Johnson has been tinkering with a changeup. The right-hander and Notre Dame product has finally found one to his liking. http://cubs.scout.com/2/745966.html 2047 Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/745966.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:06:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs On Thursday night, InsideTheIvy.com Editor in Chief Steve Holley joined the Daytona Cubs broadcast team for a weekly look into the Chicago Cubs' farm system.

Cornelius http://cubs.scout.com/2/722913.html Thu, 24 Jan 2008 06:38:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs Sometimes when a pitcher’s arm is hurting, all he needs is a little rest. Grant Johnson is banking on that as he begins preparation for 2008. http://cubs.scout.com/2/703995.html 2047 Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/703995.html Wed, 21 Nov 2007 08:00:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs KODAK, Tenn. – The Mesa Solar Sox roster is dotted with Tennessee Smokies players as four pitchers from the team were selected by the Cubs to play in the Arizona Fall League on Monday. They will be joined by an outfielder and an infielder who both spent most of the season in Double-A ball. http://cubs.scout.com/2/672996.html 2047 Maria M. Cornelius http://cubs.scout.com/2/672996.html Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:35:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs Through the years, the Arizona Fall League has been a major stepping stone in helping to speed up many prospects’ growth and their ascension to the big leagues. The Cubs hope the seven prospects they have chosen to participate in this year’s Fall League will use their time in Arizona to follow in the footsteps of major league players that have at one time called home to the post-season venue. http://cubs.scout.com/2/672670.html 2047 Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/672670.html Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:37:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs If the path to better performance is identifying strengths and weaknesses, Grant Johnson is well on the way. His pitching appearances have included the good (getting out of a bases-loaded jam) and the bad (allowing a bases-clearing triple), but the Double-A Tennessee reliever has a good handle on what he needs to do on the mound. http://cubs.scout.com/2/655158.html 2047 Maria M.
