just wondering aloud here, but fox and hoffpauir would be a pretty decent platoon at first.

 

There's no way Lee is being benched. Especially when he's OPSing .941 over the past month.

according to the Tribune story it sounds like Fox is taking grounders at third under the watchful eye of Trammel and that as soon as Trammel gives Lou the OK that Fox will play third. I will just go on the record and say that if Trammel can coach Fox to be avg or slightly below avg defensively at 3B he is one hell of an infield coach.

and Waddell.

 

We got Turk back? Awesome!

 

How old is he now?

It's Turk Wendell. There was a Hall of Fame pitcher named Rube Waddell who pitched in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

 

Waddell didnt make the HOF did he?

 

Surely he would be first ballot in the "crazy" HOF though, he makes Z look normal.

Waddell didnt make the HOF did he?

Yes he did. Elected by the Veterans Committee in 1946.

ChrisDeLuca Cubs promote INF Jake Fox, INF Andres Blanco and LHP Jason Waddell from Triple-A Iowa. Option LHP Neal Cotts and INF Bobby Scales to Iowa.

 

 

Miles to DL makes sense. Cotts/Waddel is a wash as far as Im concerned. Blanco makes no sense. the guy has 6 errors on the season, and will be lucky to match Ryan Freels offensive numbers thus far. I get the feeling that in a weeks time, Blanco hate will eclipse that of Jacque Jones, Macias, Neifi, Kendall, Hawkins, Miles, Freel, Gathright, C Patt, and Cotts combined. I guess it means that Freel gets the starting 3B job by default.

 

Wow, that is pretty big hate
