"The Rockies couldn't acquire a starter in time to avoid pitching right-hander Tim Harikkala against the Cubs Sunday, but they're considering trading for Blue Jays righty Josh Towers or Orioles righty Steve Trachsel, both of whom have cleared waivers. They also inquired about A's righty Chad Gaudin, who is 0-5 with an 8.54 ERA in his last six starts, but determined the price to be too high. Towers, also drawing interest from other clubs, could be moved in the next several days . . . "

 

Could the Cubs be one of those "other clubs?" They scouted his one start the same weekend they were looking at Matt Stairs. With Marshall's and Hill's recent struggles with pitch counts and not consistently being able to get to the 6th inning, I wonder if Hendry may take a look at Towers.

Towers would be a nice fit, but he will probably end up with the Rockies.

The cubs would have first dibs at Towers over the rockies though if we wanted him.

The first post indicates that Towers cleared waivers - now he can be dealt to any team regardless of record.

Oh my bad thanks, the waivers thing is confusing sometimes.

Can either Towers or Trachsel hit the ball out of the ballpark?

In Coors Field perhaps...

Starting pitching is not the club's problem right now!
