Cedeno sent to AAA chicagosports.com

where is AAA chicagosports.com?

 

I was thinking the same thing... :lol:

Pie has had 1 start since hitting the homerun last Friday. Other than that he has had no more than 2 ab's in a game. He should be down at AAA getting 4 ab's a game if they arent going to give him it here. I hate the way Lou has used Pie and Murton. Hes giving them sporadic at bats off the bench, which in turn has probably made them both press. Young kids need ab's, and especially Pie who has not had a substantial amount of ab's in the minors.

 

do you want to win or develop young players? Both Jones and Floyd are performing well. You seriously want to take them out and put Pie and Murton every day? Murton and his every game double-play? And Pie who's lost at teh plate? Do you not see we're on a great winning streak? Or do you prefer losses?

 

I really hate this old arguement. These two things (winning and developing players) are not mutually exclusive.

 

In the abstract maybe that is true. But specific to Pie and this Cubs team, is it? In other words, can the Cubs win and afford to deal with Pie's growing pains compared to the production expected out of those 'veterans' in front of him on the depth chart?

 

I think so, and would advocate trading Jones to create the open spot. But there are plenty of folks who would lessen the Cubs chances of winning with Pie in the everyday lineup over Jones/Floyd/Murton.

I think you can have Pie in CF on a regular basis as long as you don't have another black-hole like Izturis or Cedeno in the lineup at the same time. Also, I expect Pie's bat to come around, as it always has at each level once he's had a chance to adjust.
