I'm kind of curious what the Cub's organizational standpoint is on a guy like Rebel; should he be on the roster at this point? Like all of us, I'm happy to see him hit with authority, but I wonder if the organization has a certain age where they give up on a guy. (mind you, I'm all in favor of giving our young guys every chance, but a 23 year old guy still in A ball is never going to see Wrigley Field, and he's taking playing time away from a possible prospect.).
I hope this doesn't sound dickish; it wasn't meant to. But baseball is usually kind of a meritocracy, and at some point, you have to do what's best for the team.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
