Pie Up; Pagan on DL with colitis

[CubmanPi]

Pagan to the DL with a strained oblique.

 

Suuure. :D

 

We should have just killed one of his grandparents like most teams do.

Awesome :lol:

Worked for Cordero.

A guess or a report you heard somewhere?

I'm not one to harp on "fundamentals", but Pagan is a flat out idiot in the OF. However, he should have never been a quasi-everyday player. He's a 25th man.

In that case, I have a bad feeling Pie's going to head back down once the DL stint is over. I'm also not sure that there's any guarantee he'll be playing much.

Not if he starts to hit.

Meh, he'll be back up a week later when the rosters expand. No biggie.

Those oblique injuries are tricky.

Yeah, Pagan won't even be eligible the 22nd or so. And obliques (if this is real) often last a bit longer. There's no guarantee Pie gets sent back down for that last week before Sep callups.

Phantom injury?

Phantom injury?

 

 

Not the NBA. MLB moniters this and will punish a team that the feel is abusing the DL. I also think Pagan could just be sent down, so why DL him.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Any chance we can recall Trenidad Hubbard?

I don't know about Hubbard, but Ced Landrum may still be floating around somewhere. Maybe he has learned how to steal first base.

The Cubs have had a number of conveniently timed injuries in the past...I definitely think it's a phantom injury.

There has to be some sort of injury, but, if it's minor, the Cubs could give Pagan the choice of going on the DL or being optioned to AAA.

 

I'm sure he'd take the major league service time.

Is this really conveniently timed? It's not like Pie was scheduled to come back right now and the needed to clear the roster spot.

True, but Pagan hadn't been hitting, and has looked really bad getting to some fly balls. Did Pagan still have options? Could they have sent him down?

Pie will stay up if he hits. Piniella is looking for anybody who hits--

WSCR says Pagan is on the DL due to an illness which has caused Pagan to lose a significant amount of weight the last few days.

[Wes Mantooth]

Hope it isn't a serious illness,but take a seat see you in the spring.

Yes, they could have sent him down.

Does a strained oblique cause you to lose weight? If so, I might have to get one!

[rickrolled]

Cubs.com has the news, doesn't tell us what Pagan's injury is though.

[Tomarken]

Outfielder Angel Pagan, who has been playing through a painful case of colitis, was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, prompting the move.

[Moonlight Graham]

Colitis? :-s

Should I know what that is?
