Bowen DFA

 

:shock:

 

Well, that trade was worth it. GG, Hendry.

[E.J.]

Wow. That's a pretty big surprise. I never thought Hendry would DFA Bowen.

Bowen DFA

 

WOW, THAT'S A SHOCKER :shock:

[illiniguy]

Why the hell is Koyie freaking Hill starting? Jesus let Soto play we've already been subjected to the crappyness that is Hill for way too long, lets see something different

Because we are the same team that had Neifi Perez starting and batting second for over a year and a half.

 

But the manager during that time had a strange love for worthless offensive players. Lou has shown that he will play whoever is producing.

I was buying that when Jones was on the bench.

 

FWIW, Jones is hitting .278 this month.

FWIW Pie doesn't need anymore AAA time.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

wow. didn't think Jimbo had it in him to admit to such a crappy trade so quickly.

point taken, but the Cubs still have a manager that doesn't fully grasp how to utilize split stats.

[killthegoat06]

I'm happy.

[TysonCBulls423]

yay! Now let's get a win :lol:

[Keener98]

Bowen DFA

 

Well 1 worthless bat gone. Jesus that Barret trade was horrible!

[sherwood921]

Haha, that was quick. Nice knowing you Bowen.

 

On a side note...I'm starting Lincecum in my fantasy league after seeing our lineup.

[killthegoat06]

Bowen DFA

 

Well 1 worthless bat gone. Jesus that Barret trade was horrible!

 

Pretty much a DFA.

 

At least Hendry can admit he's wrong.

[98navigator]

A part of me feels sorry for Rob. I remember him saying he thought the trade was a step forward in his career... So does this mean he has 10 days to decide if he's going to go to AAA or is he just gone?

Hopefully Kyler Burke turns into something useful.

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, at least one of the two worthless catchers is out of here.

 

Let's get a W.

[CoolHandLuke]

I want a Scott Servais card more than anything in the world.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Haha, that was quick. Nice knowing you Bowen.

 

On a side note...I'm starting Lincecum in my fantasy league after seeing our lineup.

 

A guy in my league has been trying to trade me Placido Polanco for either Rich Hill or Lincecum (I only have Kendrick at 2B who's likely out for July). Any thoughts?

Then why is Izturis here, with Cedeno hitting everything in sight at Iowa?? Same with Jones and Pie??

I think the Cubs are going to get to him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bowen is hitting .212/316/345 for 2007. His career line is .209/306/340.

 

Somehow, I doubt anyone claims him and he'll be catching for Iowa when his time is up.

Patterson and Murton deserve to be up also.

[Shilzzz]

Any chance Iowa can fix him or is he a lost cause?

Right so we have 4 guys better than the 2 that are here. I would call that poor GMing.

You could add Eyre and the AAA bullpen to that list

[TysonCBulls423]

Trade was an addition by subtraction. Wish we had Barrett's bat but can't complain when the Cubs are winning.
