The minor league season begins in earnest tomorrow, and Obstructed View is going to do better than ever at covering it. DJ had been coverin the minor leagues here in the past and due to no fault of his own, dmick89 and myself have taken it over. Truthfully, dmick89 finds little else to talk about, so he felt he need to do this or risk not contributing enough. We'll have previews of each roster today (two now and two later). We'll also be posting recaps each day; I'm covering the weekends, and dmick89 is taking the weekday beat.

Via World Series Dreaming  |  April 02, 2013
The Chicago Cubs get to pick second this June in the MLB Rule 4 Draft as part of their “reward” for sucking so much last season.  Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess) they were unable to suck as much as the Astros so they might lose out on the overall best player available, unless the Astros decide to implement their Carlos Correa plan again.  Not that Correa was a terrible...

It happens every night: Carlos Marmol or some other closer sucks in relief

Via Diamond Hoggers  |  April 05, 2013
Apparently licking your fingers is the appropriate response to giving up runs in the bottom of the 9th. Since it’s going to happen pretty much every night, we’ll continue to highlight the ****** relief performance of the night.  (I think we need a name for it).  Tonight’s winner was Carlos Marmol.  Yes, yes.  He did actually record a save.  But check out the stat line...

Via World Series Dreaming  |  April 03, 2013
Off days suck. The traditional day off after game number one by MLB schedule makers is always one of the toughest to make it through, but fate made it an especially difficult task for Cubs fans as two nearly Cubs from a year ago showed why the front office had interest in them.
