The Cubs and Korean Talent

In general, this article just talks about the success the Cubs have had in scouting and signing Korean players that can hopefully put together some big league stuff. I know at least two of the four mentioned were in toonsterwu's Top 50 Cubs prospects. Overall, I'm just glad that they're taking the same path as the Yanks, Red Sox, and Rangers and signing foreign athletes with high upsides to supplement their (hopefully) lower-end first round draft picks!

Joe Borowski a Cub again?

I'm not entirely sure if this is true, considering I haven't seen it on any credible sites, but when I was randomly "wiki-ing", it stated that "On July 29, 2008 he signed a one year contract for a second stint with the Chicago Cubs." Take it for whatever its worth...

If this is true, I am pretty disappointed and hope that the Cubs don't rely on him that much. I live near Cleveland and when he was pitching, you just knew he was going to do something bad. Pretty much like Dempster last year...
