Out of Options

[UncleDon]

Which Cubs still have remaining options - particularly borderline bench players like DeWitt and Maine?

The Cubreporter always has a nice breakdown of who has options:

WTF, Kyler Burke is a pitcher now? I guess it makes sense if you can't hit High A ball at 22. Did not know he transitioned

Yep, saw him with Boise last year. He could make a decent arm out of the pen.

I think Kyler could move fast as a pen arm (wouldn't surprise me if he could be up in AA as a pen arm sooner than later if the reports on his stuff are accurate and it holds), but I think a lot of us are intrigued with whether or not he could adapt to the rotation and maintain his stuff, as he'd give us a power lefty arm. The system really hasn't had an intriguing power lefty starting prospect since ... Donald Veal? And that was only for a year or so where he held high intrigue.

I had pretty high hopes for Pawelek for about three weeks.
