I thought the news out of the convention was that Corey was progressing on schedule to be ready for opening day. What this? That's pretty much how I heard it. Baker did say on the radio earlier in the day that the Cubs had signed Calvin Murray to cover themselves in center, just in case Corey wasn't ready quite on time; but that's just a standard precaution. I'm not sure I understand the need for Calvin Murray. We have Goodwin, Macias and Hollandsworth to cover center in Patterson's absence, correct? Goodwin obviously would get most of the playing time until Patterson was ready. Macias doesn't appear to be all that bad there either. Off on a different tangent. I did a search on ESPN for Calvin Murray and it brought up Calvin and Heath Murray. I clicked on Heath as it stated he was on the Cubs roster. Lefty reliever with a horrible track record in the major leagues. No service time in 2003 with any teams. Non roster invitee I presume? Old information?
