Who comes up, I wonder? Clevenger's not ready to return yet. Lalli?

[Post Count Padder]

Shoulda traded him when he was healthy. Long live Welington Castillo!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Somebody up there wants us to have no tradeable assets.

[davell]

Soto probably just became a salary dump at best.

[Hendrys Ghost]

2008 seems like 20 years ago with regards to Geo. Very little value at all before the injury.

But 2010 seems like more recent.

Blake Lalli called up. Happy for him, but I doubt we thought he'd ever occupy a 40 man spot.

Phone

 

Blake Lalli: hello?

 

Voice: Congratulations Blake, you've been called up to the Cubs to fill in for Geovany Soto

 

Blake Lallli: Is that you, Tolbert? This isn't very funny, you know. I'm hung over! My knees are killin' me and if you're going to pull this [expletive] at least you could've said you were from the Yankees.

Except he was above average at his position as recently as last year...in a down year by his standards.

Lalli has already been called up, plus Brenly has stunk in AA.

Ah. Missed that, sorry. Yea, he has sucked but I figured it was just for a backup for a week, so w/e.

One of your best posts.

 

 

What does that say?

Pure genius?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Where is Koyie Hill when you need him?

[Electron Blue]

Hitting .195 in Double-A apparently.

It is possible for someone who has only been around for half of NSBB's history to have posted in 75% of the board's threads?

[Schwarber Fan]

So... is Travis Wood coming up?

[jersey cubs fan]

soto, volstad and wood are gone

 

lalli is up

 

travis wood probably shouldn't be activated until the day he starts, that leaves 2 spots to fill by tomorrow, no?

Yup.

 

Lalli took Volstad's spot so Soto's and Wood's spots will need to be filled. 2 bodies will be brought up for now, and then T. Wood Tuesday.

I wonder if they'll just bring Maine back again.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sounds likely. Probably along with Wells. Personally, I'd prefer Beliveau and Cabrera just to have some interesting guys to watch though.
