Which is just another way of saying I can recite the Heavenly Bodies commercial more accurately than the national anthem. And anyone who listened to the reasoned and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Rob Zastryzny and Jen-Ho Tseng have each filled in, but the Cubs in the Theo Era have not yet developed one permanent starting pitcher for the rotation. Through six drafts and six International Free Agent signing periods, nothing. Simply put, why have the Cubs failed, so far, to produce big league pitching on their own? Let’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the 2021 season, most of the Cubs’ current position players will conclude their initial contracts. Somewhere, somehow, there will have to be position players ready to take their place as the Cubs will not be able to afford all those free agents. Will the 2017 draft be when the Cubs start reloading for that [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you aren&#8217;t, the draft can be a bit befuddling, as it&#8217;s hard to tell which decisions are good and which are bad when you don&#8217;t recognize any of the players being chosen, and all the catastrophic and/or spectacular effects of those decisions won&#8217;t manifest [&#8230;]]]></description>
