I hope Ascaino does well. I liked him when he pitched for Mississippi.

Not well.

[Guest]

Fontenot having a hell of a game.

[JWCUB]

How did Ascanio look?

[CubColtPacer]

Fontenot can play SS, no?

 

They played him there 2 games last year, and he was so bad that in the 2nd game Lou switched DeRosa and Fontenot in the IF between the 1st and 2nd inning. So the answer is pretty much no.

[David]

Fontenot can play SS, no?

Not well.

 

In fact, so not well that I think I remember Lou getting pissed at how bad he was after one inning and pulling him and putting DeRosa there.

[C.C.]

How did Ascanio look?

 

I'm assuming good. He only faced 3 batters.

I'm sure the players will weed themselves out and Lou will pick the best option.

Esmailin Caridad (signed as a free agent from Japan via the Dominican Republic) is pitching for the Cubs right now.
