Good, he never should've been sent down to begin with.

Orioles DFA Jurrjens. I remember really wanting to get him at one time.

Outstanding

Matt Thornton dealt for Brandon Jacobs. Thornton has a 6 mill option next year and will be 37. Jacobs began the season as a guy hanging around a loaded Red Sox top 10 or so. Struggled a bit this year. That said, Russell should definitely bring back more than this, more team control and better stats as well. White Sox did decently though, if Russell winds up getting dealt, I think we'll all be happy with the return.

A. No

B. Sure

C. Depends on age and how far removed from his year of limited success.

 

And these are pretty much the types of players that GM's tend to take out fliers on when they're available for next to nothing and stock AAA with.

 

Lottery tickets are quite different in that they're young and raw with high potential.

Just wait for the fire sales that are happening at all times.

#Cubs claim OF Cole Gillespie of waivers from Giants.

[Guest]

Gillespie seems like a nice stopgap lefty masher, especially since there aren't any real options in Iowa and we're currently having to play at least one LH OF we picked up off waivers this year(Sweeney, Borbon, Bogusevic) against LHP.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Oh, hey. A 29 year old AAA OF with an OPS in the .800s. Theo must have read IMBs flier.

27 year old one time front end starters who it wouldn't hurt to see if our pitching coach can help fix if the cost is next to nothing. Give me an entire filing cabinet full of fliers on those, and if one happens to work out it's a huge win.

weakest "front ever starter" ever, maybe

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah i guess he was a front end starter if you look only at his ERA for one or two seasons and completely ignore his strikeout rate and other peripherals, in addition to his rather ordinary stuff.

I'm talking a no risk pick up. After Garza's gone, there's going to be a rotation opening. If Villanueva is traded that makes two. I'd at least prefer giving Bosio a chance to work with Jurrjens than cycling through another round of Germanos, Berkens, and whomever else.

Baker and Arrieta say hi.

Henry Rodriguez has been designated for assignment. I'm guessing this is the corresponding move for Cole Gillespie's acquisition.

He'll always be the 2nd best Henry Rodriguez in Cubs history.

Also, that's exactly what Jurrjens is, another Germano type.
