Countdown to the Cubs Convention: 17 Days

The countdown continues on this Tuesday! Today, let's take a look at the Cubs Convention list of attendees from 2009. The 2010 Convention will have many of the same guys that were there last year. Guys that are expected to be back are in bold. This year's list of attendees will come out some time in the next two weeks.

Geovany Soto was expected to be there last year, but he missed his flight. He is expected to be there this year. Other first time guys that could be there this year include new hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo, the Ricketts family, John Grabow, Carlos Silva, Tom Gorzelanny, Jeff Baker, and maybe Jeff Gray, Sam Fuld or Mike Parisi. Not sure if minor leaguers Darwin Barney & Brandon Guyer will be back, most likely the Cubs will invite a few other minor leaguers to get the chance to be there this year. And of course, hopefully the Cubs make a few more additions in the next two weeks.

Tomorrow we'll take a look at the sessions & events schedule from last year as we continue the countdown! More posts to come today!
