Link to roster here. Doesn't mean he'll play, but it's possible. Seems like a waste of a spot on the roster if there's zero chance he plays.

I wish I was actually in the Chicago media so I could be reporting this shit to a wider audience, and you know, actually having access to ask someone on the team.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Dude, I'm pretty sure you could get credentials if you took the right steps.

It's not that easy.

Yeah. Someday I hope/plan to look more into it, but I don't think any bloggers have real, meaningful access to the team right now.

Yeah, I mean I bet if you keep this up you're going to get some radio interview opportunities and some great stuff like that, but to be around the actual team... it's pretty damn tough. At ITI which is a part of Scout.com(which is really popular and associated with Fox Sports), they can only get access with the minor league teams. There's just so many blogs that if they started handing out media passes to some, it might start a circus. Still, keep this going and you can be considered a popular source to Cubs fans and hopefully get credible people like Neyer citing it more. That's what's happened with MLBTR. Dierkes does a shitload of radio interviews, blog interviews, and is considered very credible around the web by people surrounding the game.
