40 Players at Fitch Park?

As Jim Hendry reported yesterday, the Cubs already have 40 guys (major and minor leaguers) in spring camp and the required date for pitchers and catchers has yet to come! Workouts for the hurlers and receivers officially get underway next Thursday.

Carlos Zambrano, Tyler Colvin, John Grabow, Randy Wells, Sam Fuld, and Kevin Millar are some of the guys that have reported a week early to Mesa, Arizona, where it's in the 60s and 70s and sunny!

Time for some Quick Hits:

• Theriot and Kosuke will be 1 and 2 in the Cubs batting order, but which one of the two will hit first is still up in the air.
• Former Cubs short stop Nomar Garciapara is looking for a TV job.
• Cubs P.A. guy Tim Sheldon writes an amazing blog from Spring Training each year. He's started 2010 off with the pictures of the Cubs that are already in camp! Be sure to click the link and check out the pics and posts from yesterday and today!
• Wrigley Field will host Elton John, Billy Joel, and Dave Matthews this summer.
• Cubs.com reports that the Cubs are expecting Rudy Jaramillo to help get the hitters back on track.
• Cubbies Crib has posted some nice prospect videos.

We'll have our full "Spring Training Preview" series started this weekend!
