    Cubs Cubs Sign Prospect/Football Player

    Jim Callis of Baseball America confirmed that Cubs prospect outfielder Matt Szczur has verbally committed to a $1.5 million contract.
    Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net had the initial report. This new deal means that Szczur has decided against a potential career in the NFL. Szczur was the Cubs' fifth-round pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. The 21-year-old batted .347/.414/.465 over his first 116 professional plate appearances before returning to Villanova to play football in his senior year. He was recently ranked as the No. 7 prospect in the Cubs' organization by Baseball America, though the ranking was done before the Matt Garza trade.
    The NFL's for pussies now anyways!! Smart move by Szczur

    Even the last duo sport star we signed didn't pan out.

    The Cubs horribly mismanaged him by changing his role a million times. They have a history of doing that.
