Colvin to Tennessee
Outfielder Tyler Colvin, the Cubs’ No. 1 Draft pick in 2006, was expected to be promoted to Double-A Tennessee on Sunday. Colvin is coming back from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow last November, and he began the season at Class A Daytona. In 31 games, he was batting .257 with one homer, five doubles and 10 RBIs. He spent all last season at Tennessee.

WOO-HOO! I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that!
He has only batted 250 at High A.. was a bust last year at AA.. don’t expect much more this year. Probably one of the worst draft picks in Cubs history.

That is some good investigative reporting my friend. If the Ricketts do hire me as their new GM I’m gonna find a spot for you…how’s this sound: “President of Not Screwin’ Up the Draft Picks”? And for Cubbeeblue of course: “Head of Security and Counterhendryism Unit” ….I could see the T.V. show now…. that would be better than even a CSI Chicago show.
