One is that the team finally has changed hands, from the Tribune Co. to the Ricketts family, headed by Tom Ricketts. http://cubs.scout.com/2/916287.html The Sports XChange http://cubs.scout.com/2/916287.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:02:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs Perhaps no player in the Chicago Cubs’ farm system had as big a turn-around in 2009 as outfielder Kyler Burke. The 21-year-old Burke, a 2006 San Diego Padres first-round draft pick from Ooltewah (Tenn.) High School, had career highs in batting average (.303), home runs (15) and RBI (89) at Class-A Peoria while taking home Cubs Minor League Player of the Year Honors. http://cubs.scout.com/2/913737.html Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/913737.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:59:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs The Chicago Cubs’ first big off-season move didn’t come in the form of a trade, or free agent signing -- well, maybe not in the traditional sense anyway. The team on Wednesday hired Rudy Jaramillo as its new hitting coach, signing the long-time Texas Rangers coach of the same position to a three-year contract worth a reported $2.42 million. http://cubs.scout.com/2/912365.html Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/912365.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:54:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs In baseball, they’re called cliché’s because they happen to be true. It’s a long season. It’s not how you start, but rather how you finish. Brandon Guyer has heard them all before. http://cubs.scout.com/2/908725.html Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/908725.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:24:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Casey Lambert is getting ready for a long off-season in Arizona after undergoing Tommy John Surgery two weeks ago. http://cubs.scout.com/2/906563.html Steve Holley http://cubs.scout.com/2/906563.html Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:13:00 GMT 1 260 Chi Cubs cubs The Cubs went into this season with high expectations and were the odds-on favorites to win their third straight NL Central title. Instead, they suffered through a season of injuries, under-performance and distraction created by Milton Bradley, a free agent acquisition who was supposed to solve an important offensive problem. http://cubs.scout.com/2/906089.html Combined Reports http://cubs.scout.com/2/906089.html Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:10:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs Casey Coleman is a pitcher whose stock is on the rise following an impressive 2009 season.

After putting up with right fielder Milton Bradley's bad behavior all season, they suspended him for the rest of the season Sunday for conduct detrimental to the team. It's not known whether Bradley will be paid. http://cubs.scout.com/2/901522.html Combined Reports http://cubs.scout.com/2/901522.html Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:51:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs Milton Bradley blames the fans (and the media).

They have given no indication whether they'll re-sign impending free-agent pitcher Rich Harden, and they shrugged off trade rumors regarding ace Carlos Zambrano. http://cubs.scout.com/2/900144.html Combined Reports http://cubs.scout.com/2/900144.html Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:38:00 GMT 0 260 Chi Cubs cubs PEORIA — Austin Bibens-Dirkx has shown he has talent on the field.
