Woody entered the game in the 5th inning with the Chiefs already ahead 4-0. He threw 12 pitches, recording two ground outs and a fly out while walking one. According to cubs.com, Wood's pitches were clocked between 91 and 94 mph. Wood is slated to pitch back-to-back games this Thursday and Friday, when the Chiefs host the Dayton Dragons. Cubs GM Jim Hendry is scheduled to attend Friday night’s game. In five minor league outings this year spanning five innings, Wood has allowed one earned run. striking out five and walking two. He has been touched for four hits.

"i guess he replaces petrick in a couple weeks" Is he even better than Petrick at this point? All of the roundups I have seen on his rehab outings suggests he has only average stuff.

OT: Is Dusty manging the Braves because ever since they signed Julio Franco's carcass he seems to be their everyday 1B.

Hard to look worse than Soriano in his last AB tonight. I'm no hater but yikes, it seems like he swung at ball four about six times.

Submitted by ARM on Wed, 07/25/2007 - 07:14 am

So when should we expect to see Kerry called up at this rate? I would think he would be with the team within two weeks.

Soriano needs his little buddy (Pie) back on the team to boost his performance. He seems to enjoy playing much more with Pie on the team. Money may not be a motivator; however, I would expect a greater desire to perform to the expectation of a player considered to be worth $136 million.

Soriano has no patience on the plate, and thus slumps worse then some batters because he can't take walks even if his swing is off. All guys slump, it's just patience never slumps.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 07/25/2007 - 07:34 am

"Patience never slumps" That is a great line.

There is no truth to the rumor that every orthopedic physician in Peoria is on emergency alert.

Submitted by Newport on Wed, 07/25/2007 - 07:39 pm

I see no reason to bring KW back before mid-September. Might as well keep him "fresh" for a late season wild card/division run. This way maybe his arm stays attached through October.

The Real Neal — July 24, 2007 @ 11:20 pm Hey AZ Phil, C C Perez = Prospect? ======================== REAL NEAL: Carlos Perez is a good young catcher (decent arm, good receiving skills, some pop in his bat), but he is repeating AZL (he was also at Mesa last year) so his '07 offensive numbers need to be understood in that context. He should have been promoted to Boise in 2007, but he's blocked by Josh Donaldson, Mario Mercedes, and Welington Castillo, so he got the remedial shaft in order to get him maximum playing time, which he would not get at Boise or Peoria. . The catchers at the bottom of the pipeline (W. Castillo at Peoria, J. Donaldson at Boise, and C. Perez at Mesa) are the best ones in the Cubs organization (or at least they are the ones with the most potential), and 2006 7th round pick Steve Clevenger (who was converted to catcher in the Arizona Instructional League last Fall to maximize his versatility) is an excellent left-handed hitter with a picture-perfect stroke and a high baseball IQ.

    While the Chapman trade helped to cement a championship I honestly think that trade was made in a different era. Nobody trades their best prospects for rentals anymore.

    The Quintana trade was a stinker from day one. It seemed to be a product of Theo’s unshakable faith in his 2016 “core” and the consistent and mistaken idea that they were always just one guy away from a return to WS glory. The mistake was repeated several times and I think that realization along with a general evolution in baseball thinking has helped to shape Jed and the way he operates today.

    I had mixed emotions when I heard of the trade, as I have with most trades that involve high potential prospects.  But that is because I hate to trade a high potential prospect for a veteran with only a few years control, and with a much lower potential than the prospects give away.  I hated the trade of Cease and Jiminez for Quinta, because I viewed Quintana as a decent, but not top pitcher, being traded for two very high-potential prospects.  I disliked the trade for Chapman, because a high-potential prospect was traded for a rental, although in this case, the fact that the rental was a top player greatly softened the blow.  The trade of Ferris and Hope for Busch seemed even at the time, to be a good one, even though they gave up one of my favorite prospects.  The return was a high-potential prospect with 6 years of control, at a time when he could be a difference maker on the team.

    13 games hardly proves that it was a good trade, but at least it was a reasonable one, no matter how it turns out.  So far, so good.

    i was strongly happy about the deal, but words can barely describe how quickly zyhir hope went from "interesting youngster" to "high end prospect" when he showed up in arizona post-draft.

    it may not have shown up in the team prospect numbered rankings, but the dodgers had their eyes on such a low level guy for a reason and the cubs knew what they gave up.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I have to disagree. They got not just A triple A stud but THE AAA stud of the entire PCL for a position player who hadn’t played above the AZL level and a pitcher who was rather mediocre in his first taste of pro ball at low A. I’m not saying the guys they traded haven’t shown great promise but they have a very long way to go and a whole lot to prove before they make the bigs. Especially since Busch filled a defined need (whether it had been at third or first) I take this trade any day of the week and don’t bother looking back.

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

  • crunch (view)

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.
