" And who better to discuss it with -- Are you love this. All right let's get out the odds are hot flat and welcome in the man himself he -- our baseball who. Rudy is these -- from the Chicago Tribune has find baseball writer I gave a terrible to promote talking tabloid that some. Father -- himself Dave van dyke Farrior -- We're doing great I mean it's great to see the I don't. My whole time I you know I only got a minute or so I thought trying to prepare for the draft tonight yeah I'm got to get in depth study. How does one to prepare for the draft is that humanly possible I -- or his -- don't have you do who -- yeah. But you -- a few years when you see."

" He had been this is not the NBA this is not Derrick Rose type of stuff right yeah I think you know it's funny because people you get I guess they still do maybe more so now. Get -- about the draft I'd keep playing who cares what he's -- these guys you know Atlanta who knows."

" Goosen number one pick again Dave Strasbourg CEO -- dad yeah I believe he's the team's musician -- and well you know we you know especially in Chicago we've been through hundreds of blocks you know we've we've had -- rookie nick and I feel about the end tortured and yeah we've been through -- so -- happy and don't get excited about."

" Well it's funny because baseball is trying to address it strapped up and become a more of the event they're televising it they have -- in studio -- dvd instant back story but. There are great."

" That's because MLB needs something to -- yeah."

" That's terrific product but don't they need to get back story busy as you said the basically said that we don't know what these guys are."

" Yeah nobody followed that like you do the NCAA final four or even college football I mean aren't you eat you could take and college none of them would know. -- I would -- Stop and three of the top end guys are yeah I it's -- nothing in in ten years or her one year and Gordon Beckham's -- you start worrying about."

" I read something very interesting in the New York Times somebody I didn't know they were talking about this prospered -- being beat the sixth can't miss prospect -- pitching prospect. In his only lifetime who's expected to go number one overall and it basically none of the rest of them ever made it clear by including Mark Prior. But they had a thing America has that been mentioned that. That they it was Ben McDonald coming out of LSU. Scott Boras was a young age and at the time represented him and had a clause in his contract that he edit it it was a mandatory thing where he would be brought up to the major leagues within a year. Can you imagine gave all of -- clause and anybody's contract what he's ready or not he has to be in the major leagues with hitting it it's just your best this isn't it."

" Celibate yeah Chloe is out biggest fan in the Major League contract I think I'm -- had when you know when you're on the Major League roster right away you're kind starts counting graduate you aren't that doesn't mean you're on the team. But you're on the forty man roster which is important because you starter and let you know your Major League time right away instead of you know use the pool of players not bring them up -- should -- because they. They are afraid they might get arbitration and then -- signing bonus that first rounder sir have the first round is get ballot it. The other making enough money anyhow. Say it again it doesn't matter because half of them -- gone before they ever get here."

" Close margin was fifth rounder to get ten million bucks and we talked about prior I remember the twins -- think they could afford the kid. And what they get Joe Morris consolation."

" I -- Lampard and appellation but right -- to go -- I'll get out of Atlanta area -- they made a terrible decision how to Gillette prior go and where is he now -- out two years seat since he's -- is -- longer -- San -- organizations Aaron Kelly."

" Forget how good Mark Prior was for a little while though you can you know he had a couple of years it seems a pretty good pitcher. Have to Mark Prior was not a disappointment. That he you know from pitching standpoint. Dinner and maybe as a line drive that that hit him in the elbow I don't know. But whatever was something changed -- we forget Mark Prior and you know we all have short memories of a very good pitcher for awhile."

" Zola I remember when he got hit in the Phillies and run over in the second baseline he keep it that fall. -- remember watching that saying that kid is going to be a Mets that is a very bad fall that was a serious injury and I I really think that was the one where he was finished it."

" It could be I tend to think it would when he broke his double and a line drive came back and hit in the elbow underneath ten miles an hour of combat. And at his elbow -- and who knows what it was but something changed his. Motion and outfit and give my arm problems or maybe the arm problems are there all along -- well I don't know. But. B yeah I wouldn't call Mark Prior if they think failure necessarily."

" I don't change my game -- covered that game. -- a solid Mully and Hanley shows there have been brought you typed on a lot of the bingo casino. What will you do if you win -- we're gonna head up to got a lot of me on Friday as part of our boy's day out and then head over to Miller Park to watch -- Sox. Play the Brewers and -- yesterday. -- two games we had Ozzie with the postmortem of the first game saying these guys are horse with little real open up of the clubhouse at them talked it. And even some adjusting I thought very spot on comments about. That these these guys that bet to thirty bad to forty can't put a bunt down can't advance of base runner and they think they're world everything's okay in their world there do -- built. And it comes a couple of hours after Josh Fields as saying hey I gotta be Kenny -- tell me what the plan is here it is I'm up to 242 I'm off to the races what do you do enemy here. To a 42 from 212 anything someone someone owes them something."

" Well you know it's a different game now and cannot be no daddy he'd be played just a few years ago he also left up we all know it was different back in the old days and you know we've all heard Don -- say you never. I hope you were hurt because if you did you'd be the minor leagues tomorrow you know no matter what if your bet street fifty would be going to get five guys lined up behind -- and that's. Yards away away if not the way it is anymore. You know they want to send -- guy down -- sending down quick -- gripe and about a year better get a mountain and -- PPL. They had early bunting practice Santonio. I have fastest time you're out there. Have to have the home games we're out by the third trying to bunt early. And you know who knows Ramirez just awful runner apparently he can bunt for a hit he can't bunt for a sacrifice. But -- you know. Practiced some more he had tried that if they can't then you know don't have them do that they can't do I don't know what the answer is but you know. Basically you don't have guys to do what they can't do here that he he couldn't do it."

" That Dave we've we were talking earlier Michelle apparently -- parade -- his being brought up by the white. I was going to ask the that's the one we're trying to figure out and it's honest FaceBook page he says this is the biggest day of my life I'm going to Chicago the big leagues and I ain't never going back."

" Yeah well you know it's not. I thought I was going to happen before and it didn't. They're your views and Jake Peavy deal. I don't -- right yeah so now we get -- got a."

" Eight to ten guys following the team around I mean wouldn't it Sosa's showcasing the way our our big Tigers in Bartolo Colon threw batting practice --"

" Well -- my guesses you colon you can get up for colon I don't know why the bag of balls are popular but I can be able to trade colon. Because if you if you. Put him on waivers for something really wanted to name me that getting somebody may claim them for his side I think colon court -- I can't -- countries just. I think there and it is dying for pitching. -- wouldn't be a bad. We wouldn't be a bad choice pay you know -- find somebody throw home run practice four cuts and a half of a I. Yeah I don't know what that trade would -- and you know I I hate to see him bring parade good to be a reliever. But maybe that's what they're going to do you know that have worked in the past mid may work in the future. This kid really something -- he apparently the real deal on course Gordon Beckham was -- before he got here but. You know that created is really good guy I think again as we thought the other day I think it's anyway and -- I'm trying to wake you guys up we just work your own -- from the get go and we need. Somebody wake everybody up and say hey guys these you know if you are going to do it because they're going to do it certainly prevent given his chance to do it."

" That's why wouldn't be good GM or even a manager visit the Josh Fields popped off yesterday MI watch that went out well for -- could get a bunt down and had narrative. Went to the game winning run. He never expected he walked in my office he'd have a ticket to Charlotte. -- form with that figure is one option left I wouldn't want put up put it and that Arnold that would resonate the clubhouse at all because it's Josh Fields but. The easy answer would be fired Greg Walker this week I'm glad they haven't done that I'm glad that they're starting to make some roster moves instead."

" The idea -- not as upset by the field kept me and it had the same thing is as good going have to know Jack feels the different. I mean he's a quiet kid really is well strangely stand up make some great announcement that they he's always taught folk country was -- instance to."

" But the messages saying."

" The other method -- kind of there like always like to know what's going on well what's going on moves he may not have a job you don't act that's easier yeah. And I hit point two because he has raised his bed he'd never getting what do a little better his defense hasn't improved. And his strike killed I have cut down some. But obviously Kenny Williams says Morton Ozzie Guillen infineon. Owens connection here guys we're not discriminate we're just got going to leave our way through this season say well maybe next week we'll start hitting has seemed to be the popular thing with the -- factors. Well next next series or next homestand or tomorrow or sometime things will start happening here. At some ladies that -- you know get things going. -- But if if a middle of the order and hitting or. You know it seems to me more. The type of thing is everybody hits and I wish somebody on base. -- I politically afraid. I do the same thing you know you. You hit the ball and everybody individually if the ball and then all of a sudden get it down third base nobody FIAI. It's really strange is something in the water may be."

" All right Dave van -- David's always a -- guys prepare for that draft tonight I -- little reports of the Arab Prado diary the minimum all the you don't want it just -- He's not the savior thank Dave they Vinatieri hit it from its targets of your five baseball."
