From the Daily Herald: "Diabetes won't hold back Cubs' outfield prospect"
By which they of course mean Sam Fuld.
And you're absolutely right, Anonymous Daily Herald Headline Writer. It's his mediocre baseball skills that will hold him back.

Why do we have to have these kinds of stories?
Fuld is just not a major league player. A nice story? Maybe. A nice kid? Probably. Just not a big league player.
Has any player ever gotten more mileage off of one spectacular play?
We have them because Bruce Miles has column inches to fill, because readers like humanizing stories, and because there really isn't a whole lot going on in Cubs camp this season.
ha. good one.
