Letter from Scott smuggled out of jail for you...

Here's something you can post to altair19 for me -- I
posted this on a Cubs Fan Weblog this morning...

<<...These statistics should tell Dusty and Hendry
that YOU CAN WIN WITH ROOKIES...

" The Braves, who have 10 rookies on their 25-man
roster, have won 16 of 21 and are 12 games over .500
as they attempt to win an unprecedented 14th straight
division title. Chicago, at 40-44, is 14 games back
and in the third place in the NL Central."

The Cubs have to realize that when you are down you
need to get comfortable with taking risks on farm team
talent...The normal "starters" should not take their
postions for granted UNLESS they perform consistently
- like D. Lee...It's a team effort and a top Manager
MUST be willing to bring new blood in throughout the
year...that's how top companies (like Google) compete
and stay ahead of their competition...Look at what
Atlanta has been able to do with their top talent from
their farm teams...They nurture, support and quickly
promote top talent...THE CUBS NEED MORE ROOKIES on
their team...Just my view...>>
