Cubs release Dontrelle and former 1st rounder Hayden

What a wasted pick Hayden Simpson was. When we drafted him every other front office thought he could have been had in the 3rd round.

Maybe some other team will give Willis a try but I'm leaning towards not

Michael Brenly, the son of former Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly, was also given his release today.

Was he drafted as a favor to daddy?

Yeah I read that as well. I tend to believe that he was drafted as a favor for his dad. His dad leaves and so the Cubs washed there hand of him

I didn't realize the fans had input in who the Cubs draft.

D. Willis since '07-

404IP, 243BB, 5.65ERA, 1.7WHIP

That's about as good as an ERA can get when you're walking that many people... if he comes back I'm guessing 7.5ERA shelling.
