Is Derrek ever going to get suspended?

I would like him to serve his time now in Washington and Pittsburgh.

They delayed his hearing until after the All-Star break.

I agree. If we have to lose him, there is no better time than now (not that he's been contributing anyway)

The Cubs still face 3 left-handers this week. I'd rather put Ward in against mostly right-handers (the dropoff from Lee to Ward against right-handers is not all that much, against left-handers it's huge). If you look at the Cubs schedule, there will be plenty of places where the Cubs face bad teams (3/4 or so of their games left are with teams under .500). Lee can miss some of those games instead, and hopefully the team won't face 3 left-handers that week (which is abnormally high).

I know this is a longshot, but what are the odds that we see Hoffpauir during the time Lee is out? It would probably help if he was a righty considering that Ward bats left as well.

 

OK I just wanna see Hoff in the majors... he's really tearing it up at Iowa with 73 RBIs.

I see it as extremely unlikely. The Cubs don't even have enough roster spots to have 12 pitchers right now. How are they going to find a roster spot to bring Hoffpauir up? I'm sure they'd at least consider it if it weren't for that issue, but there simply won't be any space for him.

I think a few of us could think of a player or two that we could DFA. :roll: HENDRY! :roll:

Popularity has its benefits.

I'd say slim and none. They'd need to send someone down or DFA someone to make room for him on the roster (players still count against the 25-man roster while suspended, so the suspension won't open up a roster spot). I think they'll make do with Ward and perhaps Derosa.

plus we need Micah to pound out monster AAA numbers because our GM has a terrific track record of selling high

I'd rather have him serve his suspension now and get it over with than toward the end of the season.
