CUBS ANNOUNCE SECOND ROUND OF ROSTER CUTS

[BigbadB]

Andres Blanco remains as well.

 

Someone has to carry Theriot's jock strap.

I'm a little surprised that Closser was cut. Does that mean they feel comfortable enough with McGehee behind the plate when they have SS games?

 

Koyie Hill's still around.

I forgot he existed.

so its basically cintron, blanco, k. Hill, McGehee, Hoffpauir, and Kroeger plus most of the 40 man?

According to FireJoeMorgan, that's Bruce's job.

True but that means that McGehee is the 4th catcher or the 2nd if there's a ss game.

 

And not that I see that as problematic, but can't guys who have been reassigned to the minor league camp still appear in the "A" games? Doesn't it just mean that they've officially been eliminated from any shot at the final 25-man roster?

 

Yeah, now that I think about it you're right.

 

Still, if McGehee showed at least passable defense behind the plate he could be a useful bench player if Murton gets traded.
