Cubs' 2007 Draft Review

Found June 17, 2007 on Cubs Hub:
PLAYERS: Juan Pierre,  Alfonso Soriano
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers,  Chicago Cubs

Well it's been a week later since the draft precluded. The Cubs have already been successful in signing several midround players and will be very active in the coming week. As the Boise Hawks (Short Season A) prepare to start their season, and have quite a few holes to fill. Talks with first rounder Josh Vitters are progressing slowly but surely. There is not too much difference and the Cubs will definately have him signed by the new draft deadline of August 15th.

Via Sportable  |  June 16, 2007
Sammy Sosa's towering grant slam yesterday versus the Reds marked his 599th career home run, just one away from the 600 home run milestone. And while it would be nice for him to hit 600 against the Reds this weekend, it would be even better to hit it against the Cubs, Sosa's former team and the team that they meet next starting on Monday.
