Two of Lou Piniella's regulars had a solid month to start the season and are among four players nominated for the National League Rookie of the Month Award for April. Geovany Soto and Kosuke Fukudome turned a lot of heads and helped the Cubs to the best month in franchise history.

Gillette announced a partnership with Major League Baseball to award the top performing rookies from both the American and National League. The CCO received an email and were asked to past the link along so the Faithful can place their vote for either Kosuke or Geovany. This is an officially sanctioned MLB award and is decided on by the fans. Click here to go place your vote....www.mlb.com/Gillette

Also, the CCO was sent the latest videos from MLB Roundup and DoublePlayTV that includes info on the next hot commodity from Japan as well as their Rookie of the Year and other awards after the first month of the season....

Enjoy the videos as you wait for the first pitch against the D'Backs.

And finally, is it possible Felix Pie could be replaced on the Cubs' roster by Andres Torres? According to a report by Paul Sullivan in the Tribune....it is.

Talkin' will post around 11:00am C.T.
