All eyes are on hometown prospect Ed Howard as the Cubs open spring “mini-camp” workouts with no major-leaguers allowed at camp.
“I genuinely think everything happens for a reason, so I think I was put in this situation, drafted by this organization, for a reason,” Howard said. “That’s why I have so much trust in myself, because I feel like I was built for it.
Despite the ongoing MLB lockout and slow-moving labor talks that threaten to delay the start of major-league season, the minor-league schedule, including an on-time start to spring training, is operating “business as usual” for those not on the 40-man rosters . Double-A shortstop Luis Vazquez said he believes he can be the next Báez for the Cubs by the time the next core is in place. Howard’s low-A teammate Kevin Made, another shortstop, also said, through an interpreter, he can be the next Javy.THAT’S NOT ONLYImagine what happens when the first Chicago-born player ever drafted in the first round by the Cubs reaches the big leagues and has the kind of success the scouts project.
The Twins made Mauer the focus of several marketing campaigns and ballpark giveaways. They sold more No. 7 Mauer jersey’s during his career than any other player. And Mauer even played off his wholesome image when he starred with his mom in a milk commercial for St. Paul-based dairy producer Kemps.But make no mistake, he added: That formula worked only because Mauer had success on the field.
“It was, ‘Let’s push this guy,’ and, ‘Let’s make it known he’s here.’ And I understand all that. That’s the business side; that’s the money side,” Heyward said.“Just having that hometown-team situation, it was tough at times,” said Heyward, who discovered distractions in the conflict between the demands of friends and family and the demands of job and teammates.
