Cubs sign Cargo to a minor league deal.

let this be our 2019 edmonds

[Schwarber Fan]

I like this move. Good numbers at Wrigley IIRC and not as old as I thought he was.

The Coorsiest Coors player who ever Coorsed. He's a complete [expletive] fraud. Edited May 30, 2019 by Sammy Sofa

.245 .290 .553 .843

 

[The_Achiever]

He’d be our best outfield bat if he keeps putting up those numbers.

like I always say, can't spell Cargo's Dead Cat Bounce without Cargo

I keep trying to make something work along the lines of, "the only thing that dies more dramatically than an Everest climber at high altitudes is CarGo's career at sea level," but it's just not snappy enough. Edited May 30, 2019 by Sammy Sofa

Hey, a. 300 ISO and drop him in this juiced ball environment?

if you need a sherpa to guide you to the heights of everest, you need a diver to find CarGo's value?

[Banedon]

Mojo hates this move enough that I've decided I like it.

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't hate it at all; it's a total non-move. He's just a player I like making fun of.

9 dongs though.

If nothing else, he can join Phil Nevin, Joe Nathan, Dan Haren, and Jason Kendall (among others) on the All Wasn’t he a Cub for a Minute? Team.

crazier than all of these combined, for me, is that steve trachsel was briefly on the 2007 team.

Steve Trachsel is by far the pitching name I remember most (pre Kerry Wood) from my childhood, and the best year of his career, fWAR wise, he put up a 5.66 ERA.

I remember Trachsel most for taking forever between pitches. It became a running joke and broadcasts sometimes clocked him. Hilarious stuff

 

I remember him most for having a very Chatwoodian 6.1 IP, 1 H, 6 BB performance in the Wild Card tiebreaker game in 98

[Post Count Padder]

Surprising but I like it. Our outfield depth is not very good and he can still hit a bit. I also didn't realize he's still just 33. Would've sworn he was like 36-37.

[UK]

I need a Duke article stating why this is a great move so I know it's the final nail.

i remember trachsel most for having an even/odd year thing

And then Tapani cane out of the pen and tried to blow it

Best thing Cargo ever did was hit that dong off Rafael Soriano so Kris Bryant could hit a walk off Dong vs the Rockies in 2015.

121 pitches. :-"

[Sammys Boombox]

I most remember Trachsel from my first game at Wrigley Field. My dad was teaching me how to keep score. After Brian Hunter lead off the game with a double my dad turned to me and said, “Well, there goes the no hitter.” Only hit the Astros got that day.

I also vividly remember Sandberg scoring a run on I think a Grace single up the middle, Sosa homering and the last out was a flyball to Brian McRae.
