Re: Do we need to acquire a new SS?

[St.Paul Cub]

I read in the Sporting News that Cedeno is currently playing CF and SS in Venezuela and hitting and fielding well. Sounded like the Cubs are considering making him a super-sub.

 

Not really part of the topic, but I didn't feel like opening a new thread. I think Muskatt is their contributor, but I hadn't heard anything about this.

Assuming the Roberts trade happens, the Cubs already have a super-sub in DeRosa. Cedeno has always done well in the minors and winter ball, but hasn't yet carried that over into the majors. There is a lot of support on NSBB to make Cedeno the starting SS over Theriot, but I just don't think Lou will give him the chance. As I have written before, I think Cedeno, Murton, and Marshall will have solid major league careers, but not with the Cubs because they won't get a chance.

i hope theriot is our starting SS when he is 42

Maybe he's going to be super-sub part II as DeRosa can't play SS or CF.

 

I agree about Murton, Cedeno, and Marshall having good careers elsewhere.
