The Chicago Cubs today optioned pitcher Carlos Marmol and infielder Scott Moore to West Tenn (AA). In addition, the club reassigned the following players to minor league camp: pitchers Brian Boehringer and Carmen Pignatiello, infielder Brandon Sing and outfielders Buck Coats and Adam Greenberg.

 

The camp training roster now stands at 48 players - 10 of whom are non-roster invitees. The positional breakdown of players remaining in major league camp: 23 pitchers, seven catchers, nine infielders and nine outfielders.

Sing down already, eh? The Dope Slap is still up...interesting.

[Tim]

I'm guessing that they'll leave Dope up until Lee returns.

There was a blurb in one of the Cubs.com articles that Sing was having problems with allergies / his contact lenses getting too dry and was having to switch to glasses, which made him uncomfortable hitting. That was given as a reason he hadn't been playing at all lately.

That's one of the reasons I thought Sing would go down later.

I've lived that Hell before and didn't have to hit 95 MPH fastballs too! I've always wondered how contacts going crazy would effect a MLB type player.

Would really like to see those last 3 names up over a couple of catchers and Augie.

[EricG]

The catchers are needed for the pitchers to throw to. With both the regular catchers in the WBC any minor league catchers are still on the roster.

Gimme a couple years and I'll suggest remedies for you.

 

Or, more likely, I'll tell you to see your optometrist.

My guess is Restovich also has a leg up on Sing as well.

Me and Sing will do the "See clearly method" and put you people out of business!

[Balsa]

Nothing surprising so far.

Dude Sabo was awesome. Don't knock him.

 

That used to be my nickname when I was a kid because I wore those sports glasses as well. 8)

i'm not knocking him. He figured out how not to have contact lens problems. It's a shame that more major leaguers did not follow the lead of this brave pioneer

[rocket]

he compensated his lack of contact lenses by corking his bat
