RUMOR: Cubs interested in Willits

[rawaction]

Wuertz for Willits would piss me off, especially when Willits regresses to Ryan Theriot + a couple walks.

 

Would that be a regression? That's basically what he is.

Fewer walks(or a AVG drop).

As an aside, 1 month in and we're still referring to some sort of disease? Can somebody change the title?

It's more than just a couple walks.

What's his forecasted line? I doubt he reaches it if those percentages are any indication.

Willits - .266/.353/.354, EqA .267

Theriot - .270/.330/.347, EqA .237

Fuld - .260/.331/.362, EqA .240

Pie - .291/.345/.480, EqA .273

No reason to waste a good reliever and prospects on him then.

[Peoriaman]

This is still in the works.

[CoolHandLuke]

Considering his current OPS, I'd give up almost anything for him.

[RedFlash]

This is still in the works.

 

I wonder if the Wilits for Wuertz would be in connection with the Pie/Greene rumor that has circulated.

[17 Seconds]

Who is peoriaman and why does he talk as thought he knows things?

[17 Seconds]

Considering his current OPS.

 

In the PCL.

his team, the salt lake bees, is 24-2 right now....they are here in nashville tonite.

He's a fairly longtime poster here who I believe has some connections within the Angels org.

[ctcf]

Can we get a clearer definition on "in the works"?

[Peoriaman]

Discussions still ongoing. Nothing imminent.

I'm talking about his major league leading 3.000 OPS. Yeah, he's that good.

[TruffleShuffle]

he's not a great player, but it's pretty absurd that he's in the minors. he's certainly good enough to be a 4th outfielder on a good major league team, or a starter on an average one.

Matt Murton agrees

What am I missing here? Are you still talking about Reggie Willits? He isn't in the minors. He is in Aneheim - or at least according to their roster he is. And he started Friday and Saturday.

He was called back up about 5 minutes after Truffles post on Friday.

Got it! His cousin works with me and had asked me Friday afternoon how to find out if he was still up (obviously they are not very close or he wouldn't have to look and the guy is clueless about all things baseball). When I looked Friday afternoon he was on the active roster. I must have looked after he was called up.

[Derwood]

ironically, Willits is on the Cubs in my MLB08The Show game right now.

 

and he sucks
