Freel to DL; Scales back already

[erik316wttn]

the entire Freel deal was just a deal to say he made a deal.

 

I'd take Ryan Freel 10 times out of 10 over Gathright.

 

i wouldnt have signed Gathright in the first place

 

There's your winner, folks.

Yeah, no one seems to care that we had a guy already that could do everything that Gathright could (Felix Pie), do it better (Felix Pie), and do it for half the cost (Felix Pie), and we dumped him for absolutely nothing and for absolutely no reason.

That .195 / .271 / .310 line Pie is putting up for Baltimore would really be helping the Cubs.

Kinda like the .214/.267/.214 line Gathright had for us?

 

I wasn't saying we should've kept Pie. But if you're going to have a pinch-running/defense specialist, there was no reason in hell to pay Gathright twice as much to fill a role he was worse at than a current Cub was.
