    bluengold, that's hilarious. Loved the "ripped off the A's" line.
    #26 is retired as well. Billy Williams.

            Lester wearing 34 at the press conference

            Edit: Showtyme beat me to it by a second lol. But, Lester takes the number of one of my personal favorites, Kid K.

              You ever find out the numbers Montero and Hammel are going with?

                The Google search about Lester's number was wrong, so I have no idea. The official site hasn't updated the 40-man with numbers for those guys yet, and I can't find a picture of Hammel's press conference with a jersey on him.

                  If you guys follow @CarrieMuskat on Twitter, she's usually on top on those things.

                  If I had to guess, I'd guess that Hammel is going back to 39. That's what I gave him on The Show.

                    The Cubs are proud to welcome RP Jason Motte, formerly of the Cardinals, to the team.

                      So, this is going to happen. Don't make me think about the other SI covers, I just want to live in the moment.

                          Lots of good signings this offseason. I excited to see our young bats this year with some experienced pitchers.

                              Hmm thought Soler would maybe change from 68 to something in the 20s like he wore in the minors.

                                It's still possible he could change his number. The Cubs haven't updated their team site yet.
