The AV Club features baseball great Dick Allen talking about one of today's Cubs birthday boys. Allen says he had more power than anyone he had ever seen before.
In the latest Cubs news, Starlin Castro is 100% now (according to his manager), CJ Edwards made his debut and it was a good one, John Baker made the team as the backup catcher over George Kottaras (who was released) and Donnie Murphy was claimed on waivers by Texas (leaving a spot for Mike Olt), although no-one has said whether or not Olt has made the team yet.
