Petrick called up, Bowen DFA'd.

[TruffleShuffle]

i predict he'll become a yankee... wil nieves might be the worst-hitting position player in the game.

[killthegoat06]

Bowen just bought a place in Chicago. He should have held out on that a little longer.

 

I feel bad for him.

I do too... he really didn't get a chance (only 35 PAs as a Cub), got in a really bad slump, and then the Cubs shipped out the wrong guy.

So 10 days for Hendry to trade Bowen or lose him for nothing, right?

I think sending him down is an alternative too.

His wife makes a good buck with her acting career.

[Mephistopheles]

Genius move keeping Hill guys!

[YearofDaCubs]

At least one of them is gone now. Bowen and Hill both have been terrible for us, so no biggie picking Hill over Bowen.

Julie Bowen, on Boston Legal.

Sarah Shephard?

Let's hope Kyler is worth a Silver Slugging catcher. I can't argue with the results though.

Julie Bowen, on Boston Legal.

 

I'm sure she is still doing fine for cash, but I think she got the axe after this season.

[Bruno7481]

really?

[abuck1220]

nice trade, jimbo.

 

i'll give him credit though...it's not very often he admits to a mistake.

Agree with everything. Not that either player is great, but I believe Bowen is preferable to Hill.

[Mizzou]

Wow, didn't see that coming. I thought for sure that Hill would be the one to go. It doesn't really matter though, they both sucked. It would've been nice to get something for Barrett. Now we basically just gave him away (and paid him to go away?).

And the minor league prospect.

[Wilson A2000]

So who's leaving for Petrick?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So who's leaving for Petrick?

 

Bowen. One of Soto or Hill will probably get demoted/DFA'ed for Kendall.

[Wilson A2000]

So let's say they keep Hill. Henry is close to coming back even though he has had three cortisone shots. So a Blanco and Kendall rotation is in the mix soon?

It was mentioned on the WGN telecast yesterday that Blanco had a setback (a problem with his shoulder). It didn't sound like it was expected to set him back much, though; hopefully just a few days.

Julie Bowen, on Boston Legal.

Not true. Bowen's birth name was Julie Bowen Luetkemeyer; she dropped her last name professionally. She married Scott Phillips in 2004 and gave birth to her first child in 2007. Before Boston Legal she was the female lead in Ed.
