The Yoenis Cespedas video. What an athlete!

Found January 20, 2012 on Cub Reporter: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Bo Jackson
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs

You guys heard about this superstar Cuban outfielder guy, right? Yoenis Cespedas? And I'm sure you read that the Cubs are Yoenis Cespedas' leading suitor. Anyway, the other day I was driving around listening to The Score, and heard about this legendary Cespedas video. Dan Bernstein was saying that it apparently showed what an amazing, freak athlete this Cespedas guy is - that he reminded people of Bo Jackson. But also that mysteriously, You Tube had taken it down. Well, I went to You Tube and...they musta decided to put it back up because you can find it there! Only, it's over 20 minutes long so I thought I'd give you just the highlights in the above shortened version. On another note, there's a storm bigger than Iowa about to hit Chicago. If I didn't have to be at work, I wouldn't even be down here.

Marlon Byrd Loses Weight, Still Popular In Trade Rumors

Via Rant Sports  |  January 21, 2012
I’ll admit it. I’ve always been a fan of Marlon Byrd, even going back to the days before he was a Cub. In his two years with pretty bad Cubs teams, he’s stuck it out, always played the role of the classy veteran, and has been a steady presence in the lineup, both in the order and on the field. Byrd is heading into his final season with the Cubs, as his contract...

Pena heading back to Tampa

Via Ted's Army  |  January 20, 2012
Carlos Pena is coming back to Tampa.  He and the Rays have reportedly agreed to a one-year, $7.25 million deal.  And while this may strike some fear in the hearts of Red Sox Nation, I think the reign of Carlos the Powerful is done. While Pena is good with the glove, and can still hit a few home runs, his bat isn't nearly as mighty as it once was.  Go take a...

Carlos Pena is going back to Tampa

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  January 20, 2012
Carlos Pena is headed back to the Rays on a one-year/$7.25 million deal, Jon Heyman is reporting today. That's less than the $10 million he made with the Cubs last year. The Pirates never even feigned interest in Pena this winter (at least not as near as I could tell), and so it's probably not worth wondering what they would've had to pay him to come to Pittsburgh. Between...
