PREDICTION: Pie down, Hoffpaiur up/LINK (Hoff-p up soon?)

[Dallas Green]

Hoffpaur would provide some LH hitting, Fukudome could play some CF. Edited May 15, 2008 by Dallas Green

lol

[Garwilly]

Cue the slide whistle.

[Roast]

Uhm....why?

[Tracer Bullet]

Cue the slide whistle.

 

humpty dance style?

I like Hoff, but the only way he comes up is if an infielder get injured. He doesnt have enough value to the team only being able to play first base.

[Vanilla Ice]

um, no

[reds44]

Good idea.

He can't even play a corner OF spot?

[Outshined_One]

Hoffpauir's not on the 40 man. Moreover, the Cubs have no backup CF if Pie goes down.

[CubsGM]

And Derrek Lee will be traded!

Predictionn:

I'm drunk

 

well hey, at least some predictions come true.

There's only 39 guys on the 40 man, but this still definitely ain't happening.

It suprised me too, but what will you all say when he gets called up?

Fukudome against RHP, Reed Johnson v LHP, and Ronny Cedeno in a pinch.

UH-OH!!! He's reaching with Torres though, it will be Huff-P.

I'll say Lou's an idiot.

 

And if it's Torres, Lou will accomplish a new level of idiocy I didn't think he was capable of. I mean Hoffpauir makes little enough sense(and I like Micah), but the 30 year old journeyman who's never been as good of a player as Felix is now. Just deliciously Cub.

I give up if this is true. This team is reaching levels of idiocy I thought were only possible under Dusty Baker.

[CoolHandLuke]

Uggh I hate this team.

Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. If Pie gets sent down for some 30-year-old journeyman, I'm going to be quite upset. I really hate this organization sometimes.

[Guest]

Hahahaha, Andres Torres? I'll just assume that's Paul Sullivan making stuff up.

 

Seriously, if you have to demote Pie (already stupid), why not go with the CF at AAA who is already on the 40-man roster (I don't care that there's an opening on the 40-man, it shouldn't be wasted) over the minor league journeyman?.

Paul Sullivan wrote

Torres, 30, was signed as a minor-league free agent in November after hitting .292 for Toledo, Detroit's Triple-A club. A call-up of Torres could give Pie time to cut down on his strikeouts in the minors, while giving Piniella the option to sit Reed Johnson against selected righties.

 

If he insists on making this idiotic move, lets hope he choses this option against all RH pitchers.

That article is all kinds of awesome.

Does Lou want a Joe Dillon? I dont. If they want to send Pie down for a few weeks to work on some mechanics, thats fine, but they'll need a replacement who can play outfield. Matt Murton would be the only logical replacement.
