\"Chicago<\/p>\n

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cubs signed reliever Phil Maton and his bat-dodger offerings to a two=year deal, sources report. Adolis Garcia is the name that comes up today as a possibility for the Cubs\u2019 outfield.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a big Owen Caissie fan. I pound the table for him whenever we\u2019re doing rankings. He\u2019s always been very young for his league. He\u2019s always produced. He repeated Triple-A \u2014 which I don\u2019t see as a negative because he was 22 years old when he repeated it \u2014 and hit 41 homers at Triple-A over the past two seasons,\u201d said Jim Callis.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
