The Padres released 2B Marcus Giles today. His star has certainly fallen a long way over the last couple of years. And the Reds may have set a record, losing three players off waivers in one day (LHP Phil Dumatrait to PIT and LHP Mike Gosling and INF Pedro Lopez to TOR).

RHP Lincoln Holdzkom is back with the Mesa Solar Sox, except this time he's there representing the Boston Red Sox. Holdzkom was one of two pitchers the Cubs got from FLA for Todd Wellemeyer a couple of years ago (the other one--LHP Zach McCormack--was returned to the Marlins as "damaged goods" midway through the 2006 season and was replaced by 1B-OF Jim Adduci). Holdzkom threw the ball really well in the AFL last year, and got selected by the Houston Astros in the Rule 5 Draft after the Cubs failed to add him to their 40-man roster. But he was unable to crack the Astros 2007 25-man roster, and was returned to the Cubs (actually Iowa) per MLB Rule 6. Holdzkom was inexplicably released by the Cubs at the end of ST (why did they spend $25K to take him and his major league contract back just to release him?), after-which he signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox, spending most of 2007 at AA before a promotion to AAA Pawtucket. Holdzkom was eligible to be a six-year minor league FA after the 2007 season, but apparently re-upped with the BoSox in return for getting a slot in the AFL and probably an NRI to Red Sox ST in 2008. He still throws gas, BTW. And he's only 25. Maybe he'll get selected in the Rule 5 Draft again.

Rob---Good trick question. Ol' Bucketfoot did play for Chicago for three seasons. Trouble is, it was the White Sox.

AZ Phil: "The Padres released 2B Marcus Giles today. His star has certainly fallen a long way over the last couple of years." No surprise here. He has been declining for a few years now. I would be surprised if he is even in the bigs next year. Rob, you still drooling over him?

something went wrong the minute Schmidt agreed to that contract, I forget what he signed for though.

Rob G.: "How did Zito, Schmidt or Durham turn out manny?" Not too good for the money spent by their teams that's for sure, but I don't recall drooling over them.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sat, 10/27/2007 - 10:37 pm

drooling, saying the Cubs should sign them, it's just a matter of word usage, same EXACT ideas behind them. so you were wrong, I was wrong, life goes on.... but try to satiate your superior complex somewhere else...

Rob G.: "drooling, saying the Cubs should sign them, it’s just a matter of word usage, same EXACT ideas behind them." The same? Really? Ok, whatever makes you feel better...:) And I don't recall saying we should have signed Schmidt, Durham or Zito for the kind of money they signed for. I would have taken Schmidt or Zito though if it was the right deal. I don't recall having much interest in Durham. But, whatever makes you feel better Rob, go right ahead...

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one walk (B. Davis)

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
