Jason Schmidt on DL (Shoulder)

[baseball7897]

So much for believing his shoulder should not be considered an issue. Im glad the Cubs stayed away from this guy. Even though at one point I liked the idea of having him in the Cubs rotation, I still did not like giving him a big deal due to the fact his shoulder was a huge issue with me.

[98navigator]

I wanted him. I'm glad I was wrong...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The exam was clean in most respects. There is no structural damage to the shoulder and Schmidt's elbow is fine. This is a new injury for Schmidt, who has been on the disabled list several times with ailments ranging from a labrum tear in 2000 to groin injuries in recent years.

[Soriano12]

yeah, glad the Cubs stayed away.

He's too fragile. The Cubs have enough pitchers with injury histories.

Agreed

Ted Lilly signing looks a lot better now.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

You can never have too many injured pitchers. The Cubs will prove that to be true over the course of this season (as if they didn't do a good enough job of that last year).

[Butterscup1679666578]

I was very unhappy when the Cubs didn't get him, but between Schmidt topping out at about 71 MPH and this, I'm thrilled.

[CubsWin]

Ted Lilly signing looks a lot better now.

Yeah, considering the amount of holes the Cubs had to fill (if they wanted to remove Prior and Wood from the equation completely) signing Schmidt with his injury concerns and for that kind of money looked foolish when a consistently healthy Lilly was costing only 10 million per season.

 

Did I just write "only 10 million per season"? Something is very, very wrong here...

[Soul]

Mark me down as clueless too.

 

I wanted Schmitty. Good thing nobody listens to me 8-)

[Banedon]

Instead we spent our big money on Soriano...who's injured... :P

[killthegoat06]

We should have signed Schmidt .... :(

[Pushfrog98]

... and he's back on the DL.

[Soriano12]

Damn, he has a case of the Wade Miller.

 

At least Miller didn't cost 15 million though, this is looking like a contract from hell.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wonder if Schmidt gets called a headcase and a vagina.

[baseball7897]

Schmidt is garbage.

[Outshined_One]

Somewhere, Dusty Baker and Flippy Alou are cackling maniacally upon hearing this news.

[Soriano12]

The Dodgers are paying over 22 million combined this season for Schmidt and Juan P-Air. How this team is 9 games over is beyond me.

Wonder if Schmidt gets called a headcase and a vagina.

 

He could just be a gutless, choking dog.

Thank You Jim Hendry for not being totally stupid and signing Schmidt.

 

Even though I wanted you to.

[YearofDaCubs]

Perfect example of why teams shouldn't sign aging pitchers to crazy contracts.

[XZero771679666304]

Well, ESPN is reporting Schmidt is going to have shoulder surgery tomorrow.
