ST: 3/9 Cubs(Dempster) v. Royals(Tomko) 3:05 CT WGN

[Shilzzz]

hilariouty! off the pitcher, secondbaseman over underhands it to the shortstop, and the bags are full.

 

For the mighty Alex Cintron

 

clairvoyant?

[Soul]

Cool. I've had a rough weekend. A good old shellacking helps.

[cbbryan]

Cintron? Really?

 

Cleared the bases w/ a double.

 

That's another great take on the first pitch to Pie.

[XZero771679666304]

Cintron is going to make this team.

 

I thought it was a forgone conclusion, for better or worse.

[Roast]

dang, man. bags cleared. cubs knocking it all over the place. good sign.

I know it's the royals, and ST, but this offense has the ability to be crazy potent this year.

[Bruce Miles]

Cintron is going to make this team.

 

It would appear so.

[cbbryan]

3-0 to Pie. He's been very patient

[Shilzzz]

nice take, there. he swung at that over and over again last year.

[Roast]

WTG LIX

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Tomko is outta there!

[javy knows my name]

Great couple of PAs for Felix today.

it's pretty exciting, huh? if we can get on the slightly high side of expectations for Soto and Pie, and average seasons for everyone else... :grin:

So does a bench of

 

Blanco

Cedeno

Cintron

Murton

Ward

 

look right to you? Or do you think they move Cedeno so fontenot can have a place?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cintron is going to make this team.

 

It would appear so.

 

 

Of course it begs the question at whose expense. I don't think either Fontenot or Cedeno have options remaining.

I thought Font did for some reason...

[javy knows my name]

Man if Murton sticks around, we have a great chance to win close games given the strength of our bullpen and bench.

[VanceJergins]

I've liked what I've seen from Pie the past 2 days. If he can adjust to the major leagues that would be a huge boost.

[cbbryan]

Fontenot would be gone before Cedeno, IMO.

[Roast]

That's more cubly. DP.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fontenot would be gone before Cedeno, IMO.

 

Unless he can prove he's versatile enough to handle SS if needed. Lou mentioned on the broadcast yesterday, that Mike was going to play some SS in upcoming games. Fontenot's bat is better than Cedeno's. Also, right now both of our MI are RH, so having a LH compliment might be preferred.

[XZero771679666304]

Fontenot would be gone before Cedeno, IMO.

 

Yeah, mostly because Ronny can play quite a few positions.

[Keener98]

Cintron is on this team thats for sure. hes hit the ball pretty damn well this spring

[Roast]

long inning seems to have gotten to dempster.

 

That or he remembered he's not good.

Cedeno has struggled at the plate recently, but I still see him as a better bat then Fontenot. He certainly has more upside then Fontenot.

I am highly skeptical of Font's ability to play SS effectively.
