[Addicted2TheShinDig]

Can either Atkins or Muschko be useful for the Cubs in the pen any time in the future or are they just roster fillers?

[toonsterwu]

Both could probably fill middle relief/long man roles. Neither guy really has the stuff, on paper, to think of as setup material, barring some luck (Muschko probably has a better shot than Atkins with better velo on the fb and his strike throwing ability, but it's not by much, IMO).

[ctcf]

Does Castillo still project to be anything of value?

I don't know what he averages, but Atkins has been in the mid-80s with his fastball tonight.

 

Oh, and he just gave up his 2nd Home Run of the inning... To Jay Payton.

[MSG T]

Wellington Castillo had a 2 run double, I-Cubs up 4-3.

 

Dubois followed with a 2 run pinch bomb on his first pitch, 6-3 I-Cubs.

I d bet on him opening 2011 as Geos backup.

 

And J Jax perfect again with 3 Ks. Has he given up a run since going to the pen?

pretty horrendous night for the minor league clubs/prospects, besides jay jax.

Mike Stanton with his 16th HR this year against the Smokies

[JonJayCutler]

I'm getting close to the point where I care more about these teams than the major league team. A couple more weeks of mediocrity should do the trick.
