Cactus League: 2/29 Cubs (Z) vs. Giants (Sanchez) 2:05 CT

[Bruce Miles]

Cintron with 2 hits and 2 RBI's whats going on here?

 

 

It's Spring Training.

 

I'd say he's got a shot at making the team.

 

One-Two of Theriot, Fontenot, Cintron and Cedeno has to go so Bruce, which one goes, and WHERE do they go?

 

The Cubs don't even know yet. Fontenot is hurt by being able to play one position. If no one is traded, he may go to Iowa. Too early to tell.

[UMFan83]

It's too bad the Roberts trade would be to the Orioles, who have already had Fontenot, because he would seem logical to go back in a trade otherwise.

[Mephistopheles]

28 year old 2Bs who arent starting 2Bs aren't worth anything.

[UMFan83]

28 year old 2Bs who arent starting 2Bs aren't worth anything.

 

Agreed, but as a throw in he could probably start at second for them. It would be a throw in to seal the deal, not any sort of centerpiece or even a supporting piece to a trade.

Does he still have options left?

[TruffleShuffle]

if pecota numbers are close on fontenot, he'd be a useful utility player. way better than a bum like cintron anyway.

Had to go to the clubhouse to talk with Z and Hill. Cubs are up 4-3 heading to bottom 6. The writers usually lose track about this time because we're back and forth between the clubhouse.

[JGalt73]

Darn Fukudome - can't even be perfect with OBP through 6 measly PA...

[TruffleShuffle]

hey not bad, only three baserunners for eyre in that inning. looks like he is in midseason form.

I'd rather talk to those two then try to keep track of all the guys going in and out of games. :D

[TruffleShuffle]

current lineup for the cubs appears to be:

 

P Mateo

SS A Blanco (cannot hit for beans)

CF Torres (???)

1B Hoffpauir

2B L Figueroa (???)

3B McGehee

RF E Patterson

C Closser (lol)

LF Fuld

 

 

aside from the great eric patterson, not a whole lot to get excited about here.

Andres Torres (30 years old, NRI/minor league free agent) and Luis Figueroa (34 years old, NRI/minor league free agent).

Andres Torres (30 years old, NRI/minor league free agent) and Luis Figueroa (34 years old, NRI/minor league free agent).

 

really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

 

patterson and closser made outs, fuld walked (second walk of the day), fox pinch hit and struck out.

[Abe Frohman]

I have a couple of Marucci bats that were made for Closser, when he was with the Rockies AAA affiliate a couple years ago.... now they have a little worth to me.

[Guest]

Shingo Takatsu in to pitch the top of the 7th. Eddy Martinez-Esteve hits a solo HR off Takatsu and we're tied at 4.

Good to see both Zambrano and Hill throwing a good amount of strikes.
