There's no such thing as 14-day or 30-day DLs. Major league DLs are 15 or 60 days. They could put him on the 15-day DL and keep him out 30 days (there's no rule that a player has to come back immediately when eligible).

It always seems to come back to the stupidity of trading DeRosa in the first place. -
They've tread water without Ramirez, and essentially without Bradley so far. Your idea pretty much leaves them in the same position they are already in, and theoretically makes them better in the 2nd half. Exactly what I was thinking. Getting back a productive Ramirez and Bradley for the stretch drive would be like making a couple of deadline trades without giving anything up.
-
Put Bradley on the DL and let him fully recover (or at least whatever passes as "fully recovered" for him), then bring him back right after the All-Star break. Perhaps he can have a productive half season and contribute to the pennant drive.

Fox down Miles activated from Dl
NCCubFan replied to Keener98's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Fox's AAA batting average increased while he was in the majors. A suspended game that started when he was in AAA was completed while he was in the majors. Upon completion of the game he got credit for being 1 for 2 during the first part of the game, raising his average by one point. They mentioned that on the telecast tonight. -
Manny tests positive for PEDs, suspended 50 games
NCCubFan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in General Baseball Talk
From what I read about it the specific violation was being in the clubhouse at the time that it was open to reporters. Apparently he can be in the clubhouse but not when reporters are around. What I read indicated that the warning from MLB was informal and nothing would come out of it as long as he doesn't violate that rule again. -
2009 Cubs Picks Thread
NCCubFan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I used to teach at Mount Olive (about ten years ago). They won the Div. II national championship last year (before Dail transferred there) but graduated many players and didn't make the postseason this year. -
Re: Sale of Cubs to Ricketts Complete (p. 15)
NCCubFan replied to 17 Seconds's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
while my cable provider just added WGN HD, the cubs not being on WGN wouldn't bother for the already mentioned lack of aired games if there is more holla dollas elsewhere, GO GET IT Especially if those added dollars go toward additional payroll. -

It's really the road games where he could be helpful, with the DH. And he's eligible to be called back up for that since it will have been over 10 days by then. -

Nothing. The objection is that the post being complained about originally had a "u" instead of an "o" in Sox. That has since been added to the word filter. -

NCCubFan replied to 17 Seconds's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I actually prefer the games that are on CSN rather than WGN, because I can get them in HD with Extra Innings. DirecTV still doesn't have WGN HD. -
I recall a story a few years ago about a third baseman who was a minor league/Japanese League lifer and got an invitation to Cubs camp at age 31 or 32. He and his wife had squirreled away every dollar they could and had managed to save almost $2 million. At that point, he had been invited to a few camps and had a better chance of making the cut with one of the other teams. However, he had always wanted to play for the Cubs and, with the money in the bank, lived his fantasy -- at least for spring training. While I don't remember his name, I recall that he was a pleasant person and a good story for the papers. I don't think it was Casey McGehee, but his name was similar to that. Does anyone remember this guy? __________________________________________________________ Sandberg>Mazeroski>Morgan Only person I can think of that fits the bill is Scott McClain, but I don't recall that story. Die Hard!

Back up to #284 with 181 points. All of my players have positive points except for Zito.

OK, both of you just stop responding to each other. We don't need yet another pissing match in another thread.

Z says he'll Retire at end of Current Contract
NCCubFan replied to Sammys Boombox's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Early in his career Walter Payton also talked about having a short career. He changed his mind, and I anticipate Z will as well. -
You have my team's slump the last couple of weeks to thank for that.
-
You're next in line if another spot is open.
-
That happened to me this week too. I think it's the first time I've ever scored over 300 points and lost (partly because it's not that often that I score over 300 in the first place).
-
My understanding has always been that there's been wiggle room to allow a midweek change if a player gets benched by his major league team. If the player is starting but slumping that's different. If Adam is concerned about the letter of the law he can start by dropping Ben Sheets. :D
-
And Northside Baseball sends Kawakami back to NC Cubs for 7th round pick in 2010.
-
Turns out Z really didn't need to be in Atlanta in the first place. Maybe he just has ESP and knew that the game would be rained out. :D
-
According to cubs.com he's expected to be available for pinch hitting this weekend and there is a high probability that he'll be ready to return to the lineup in Houston next week.
-
I renewed the league; everybody who parrticipated last year should receive an invitation through Yahoo with the link to register. After last year's members have had a reasonable amount of time to register I'll fill and openings on a first-come, first-serve basis. Anybody interested in participating if there are any openings can post here (only if you're committed to remaining active) and I'll keep track of the order for any openings. Dew has already spoken up for the first opening.
-
I just dropped Phil Hughes in one of my leagues since the Yankees moved him to the bullpen in favor of Wang. With Wang still sucking I wouldn't be surprised if Hughes gets moved back into the rotation soon.

I'm almost positive the bacon wasn't free when I went, otherwise I wouldn't have complained about the price. The bacon is not free. Cheeseburgers cost more than hamburgers, and bacon cheeseburgers cost more than cheeseburgers. I think you can get a bacon burger without the cheese for the same price as a cheeseburger.
