Fontenot Up/Fontenot Down, Marmol Up, Gooz Pen, Marshall Up

I think they'll bring up fontenot and then trade izturis and jones for Arod and then Zambrano for Johan Santa.

Fontenot expected to join Cubs/Derosa to DL according to Tribune:

My guess is that Fontenot will mostly rot while he's up here. I'm not too concerned about that, because that's not really hurting his development. He may get a start or two, but with Theriot and Izturis both playing well at the moment they are going to get most to all of the starts. Being the only backup at 2nd, SS, or 3B as well, Fontenot won't get as many chances for PH either, as Lou will want to save him as long as he can in games just in case.

 

Well the Trib did say that he's likely to start when The Riot's at SS, granted that may not happen much over the course of Fontenot's stay.

Somebody really needs to photoshop a beard and a red hat on Johan Santana.... :D

I don't claim to be any good at it, but:

Fontenot is en route. I've also written a story for the Web, but I don't know if it's up yet.

DeRosa is getting an MRI. Lee appears to be OK, but he'll need a couple more days.

Wood or Prior could go on 60-day (They are NOT releasing Izturis.)

Cubs are very pleased with Fontenot and say his defense also has improved.

[Schwarber Fan]

Knowing Lou, Fontenot will probably start tonight.

Prior's not already on the 60-day? That should be the logical choice.

He's on the Iowa Cub DL, not the big league one.

lets hope so. i would love to see fontenot starting at 2b & theriot at ss for an extendend period.

You make it sound like that it's a bad thing.

Lets see this, with Murton in Right and then start a 15 game winning streak.....

 

Lineup consistency...what is that again?

[Bruce Miles]

Cubs purchase Fontenot, option Cherry to Iowa.

Interesting. Could we actually go more than a short few days with an 11-man pitching staff?

[Brian]

Congrats to Mike!

[Proven Veteran]

Finally. He's deserved this for a long time.

[Iceblink]

Woohoo for having an all LSU middle infield one of these days. Geaux Cubbies!

I hope he's saving that per diem

It worked fine for the Tigers in 2000, but I doubt Fontenot will be hitting 3rd. This is a good day for us LSU fans!

[mhuber92211]

what was the 40 man change? For that matter, what was the change when Cherry was brought up?

Cherry went down for Fontenot.

 

When Cherry came up, Wade Miller went on the DL.

Yeah, if only Manieri can return them to their past glory.

[NCCubFan]

I haven't seen anything about that (cubs.com shows a 41-man 40-man roster at the moment). My guess is Wood to the 60-day DL.

How long before somebody calls him Fontenot-no?
