Sing called up? FALSE RUMOR

[otis89]

I heard on another message board that Sing could join the Cubs for tomorrow's game. This has not been confirmed, but they said it came from a reliable source, so who knows.

 

It just occured to me. If this is true, since Sing isn't on the 40-man roster, someone would have to be taken off. Bynum DFA please.

[TB_11]

Hopeful that it's true. Move Walker back to 2nd where he belongs. I don't know how Sing is defensively, but at 6'4" he'll provide a bigger target for Cedeno and Ramirez.

[sunnydoo]

maybe true....if jones goes to the DL, wood comes off of it, they would probably dfa Rusch or Ohman, and call back a bat.

 

Or they could send down Guzman, dfa someone else, and then bring up Sing.

 

Isnt Sing the one who is getting married Sunday in Iowa? That would sure mess up those plans.

[Jon]

If he was going to be called up, he wouldn't have played tonight.

 

Plus, he hasn't hit much at all this season, although he's batting .233 in May with a .857 OPS.

There's already a spot open on the 40 man from Restovich being sent back down, since he made it through waivers.

Thats a great point. i had forgotten about that.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

It dosent really matter. Sing wont play till Hendry kidnaps Darren and holds him hostage or the world ends. Sing is a kid and dosent know how to play yet, and why we cant have the other teams getting a book on him.

 

:roll:

After the way Ohman pitched last year and the stuff he has there's no way I can see the him being DFA.

Bring up another kid to instill some spirit to the team by sitting on the bench next to Theriot.

Can Sing even play 2B?

Why would he need to play 2b? We've already got 6 people on the team who can do that. He can play 1b and the corner outfields which would be useful.

Sing is hitting a robust .185 in Iowa. How about rewarding a good start to Micah Hoffpauir (West Ten):

Are you saying that some teams actually call up the player that is hitting better. Shocking!!!!

It would be an interesting move! Rewards based on merit.......... Novel idea!

This might fit better under the minors thread, but with all the talk of calling up a 1B out of the system, whats going on with Brian Dope?

 

I see that he's only had a few AB's this season. Is he hurt?

Hes hurt. Broken foot opening day.

 

Plus he's by far the least ready of the three 1b options.

Thanks nd. I'm not sure I've been anything but cynical, sarcastic, pessimistic, or obnoxious in any post the past 2 weeks.

In the past I was just sarcastic and obnoxious. I've doubled my productivity.

[hardcorecubfan]

Great, if he get one low and in the dirt he can smack it a mile, How is VJays glove work and what will he do when the US Open is on?

 

OOPs, wrong Sing

[hoffpauirfan]

I have it (from a VERY reliable source) that Greenberg and Sing have been moved to AA to make room for Hoffpauir and Montanez in Iowa.
