I don't think that's fair. Ronny had a good spring. I don't think he made the roster because they weren't comfortable with the depth at SS, but rather they felt he could continue his spring production and prove 2006 was the fluke, not 2005. If his ST performance would have carried over, he would have been a valuable addition to the bench. I think Ronny doesn't have the head to succeed at this level. AAAA player is the best description for him. The question is though, how many chances will the organization give him? Hill was as bad of a pitcher as Cedeno has been as a hitter until he finally got that first W under his belt. Many people on this board were convinced he couldn't handle the major league pressure, and were ready to write him off after his first stint last year. Obviously, the patience the organization showed with him paid off. That said, I think Ronny has gotten enough chances already, and it's time to move on. If Hendry/Lou agree with me, I think we'll see a move within the next week, if not sooner. I too was onboard with Ronny being on opening day roster, so i cant criticise them fairly for that. But now i do think a switch is in order. If they are going to bring someone up Fotenot makes the most sense but he is still currently just playing 3B. DeRosa, Theriot are the backups at 3b, its seems redundant for Fotentot to be playing 3B in AAA now. Thats the predictor im using and why im unsure it will happen quicker than its needed.

Im not sure why you would use Pie as a pinch runner over Cedeno. Wouldnt it be better to save Pie's lefty bad for when you need a lefty pinch hitter than Ronny's bat. Pie hasnt been the best baserunner either, he SB isnt that great. Ronny was just the tie run, not winning. As mentioned Fotenot is an intersting switch. Although im not sure how keen they are to that because he isnt playing SS in AAA and isnt that why ronny is on this roster? Theriot can play SS so i dont know why they really need a SS, just appears currently the Cubs Brass think they do. DUMB

I know i keep saying that to myself. i said that last year. of course they really did suck last year.

to not slide head first?

i paid for the mlb.tv and im wondering the same thing right now. they better get their ass i gear. i want ENTERTAINMENT damn it.

Ok i learned rule apply today that ive never seen before. This is an awful way to experience the rules of baseball.

Since it was never ruled a dead ball the play is still alive?
