Cubs Trade Ascanio, Hart & Harrison for Grabow & Gorzelanny

[Vanilla Ice]

After all the defending of Hendry that I have done today, he better not have given up Lee or Castro

[Derwood]

3:22pm: Kovacevic says Grabow and Gorzelanny to the Cubs is almost done, while Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times says they closed the deal.

 

Awful. Just awful.

 

depends on who's going the other way

[JonJayCutler]

Lol Jim Hendry. I hope Grabow and Gorzelanny can swing a bat and play 2B.

It's not going to be good.

[A-Cal]

Damn Grabow is ranked as a Type A free agent, I would have never guessed that

 

how do you find this out?

maybe, but we haven't heard name one from a legit source. We know for sure that Fox hasn't been pulled off the field.

[nolanwood]

Why did we give anything up for two more lefty turds? Have we not acquired enough of those this year?

totally agree...but i think they are targeting middle infielders currently

Lee and Castro are MI

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Two bad pitchers. Do not want.

I'm pretty sure that's what he was implying. Maybe Flaherty, Lake, or Barney?

Gorz has been unlucky, but he isn't bad. And Grabow has been a bit lucky this yr.

[Vanilla Ice]

They arent awful. Gorzelanny has been good in 2007 and 2009, just horrible in 2008. Grabow has pretty good three year splits against LHB and is going to be Type A

Him being Type A is a BAD thing. Type B would be better.

[dew1679666265]

It was more or less a "should they do it" discussion and all paid "experts" said absolutely they should.

 

Ah, thanks.

Grabow's numbers are being propped up by a 2008 where had some BABIP magic going for him.

 

Gorzelanny can't strike anybody out and has been walking too many guys for two seasons now. His numbers look pretty at AAA for a lot of reasons, not the least of which an unusually high number of unearned runs.

[Tyrant]

I'm kind of intrigued by Gorzo. Still only 27, and I think his high workload was a huge reason for his problems last year.

 

He's pitching really well at AAA this year. Given his pedigree, he's an interesting acquisition.

[RedFlash]

I think the reason why the Cubs are asking for Gorzo and Grabow is in part they don't know, don't expect to get anything from Ryan.
