AFL Update, Cubs Injuries Update, and Other Cubs Tidbits


Just a quick update: I'll be uploading more frequently now, but quite a few will be shorter articles with a few quick updates.

Velazquez is unbelievable, if you haven't heard anything about him...

 Here's Velazquez's overall stats for this year:

More AFL star players who just happen to be Cubs... 

 

 

All three (Velazquez, Weber and Kilian) have been selected for the AFL All-Star Game 

To add to their new hitting coach (former Rays minor league hitting coach Greg Brown), the Cubs have gotten a new assistant hitting coach: 

Cubs have also let out an injury update, starting with bad news of Bote having shoulder surgery and being out for 6 months. But the rest seems to be good news. 

 I'm still all for the Cubs going after Stroman. So let's have some fun with it

That's all for today folks. I'll keep y'all updated on the latest Cubs rumors and news!

Articles Coming Again to Cubbies Gazette?

It's been awhile Cubs fans. I've been pretty active on Twitter, so if you haven't yet, give me a follow there. There's plenty of Cubs blogs out there, with my personal favorite being Bleacher Nation. So I don't intend to just repeat or say the same things others are saying, but I want to provide my thoughts on certain things that might differ or be new to Cubs fans.  Basically, I want to write brief articles on different Cubs related topics that might be new or original. This is just a hobby for me, so don't expect articles every single day. I'll also be sharing some thoughts of others from Twitter that I found interesting. If you're interested in writing for Cubbies Gazette, DM me on Twitter or email me at cubbiesgazette@gmail.com. Thanks for all of your support on Twitter, and as always, GO CUBS GO!

Overall ranking for defensive efficiency, the Cubs ranked no.20, just ahead of the Marlins and just behind the Twins, so certainly not good, but hey, the Cubs aren't number 30!
