Cubs Claim David Rollins

I am not familiar with this pitcher. He'll no doubt be put right back on waivers, and if nobody claims him, free AAAA depth.

I know nothing about this guy, or the dude we took from the Yankees. But its kind of a cool strategy. That's 2 guys now we've picked up that have already passed thru every other team. Meaning its likely we can DFA them too, get them thru, and stash them in Iowa.

Lefty, good minor league numbers, terrible major league numbers. Your standard depth "try to stash him in AAA" guy.

Hope no one got too attached to that poor bastard.

Easy come...easy go...to the Rangers.

Fairly certain he asked if he was getting a ring, so we released him.

Something tells me that's probably not all guaranteed.

Or he's got a special magic trick maybe.

Well, Duensing is probably going to throw strikes. And lefties aren't going to hit home runs off him.

2M for a guy that has never really been anything other than bad. Call me less than optimistic on this one.

If Logan and Blevins get multi-year deals for 5,6+ per, then this move begins to make more sense, I guess.

[davell]

Opposite of an acquisition, but we non tendered Rosscup, Concepción, Mullee, and Villanueva. Villanueva disappoints me, I kind of hoped he'd have a nice spring and put himself either on the squad or to bring us a bit of a return.

I feel we could have picked up any number of loogy's for cheaper, but if Theo thought he was worth $2mm, then dammit, so do I.

Do we have confirmation that Theo has returned from his binge?

[TruffleShuffle]

he's got pretty sharp platoon splits and has given up fewer hits/long balls out of the bullpen. i guess it's fine as a sort of loogy/back of the bullpen type.

Mark Rzepcynski just got 2/11.

 

This signing is now aces in my book.
