Three-Finger Hill Makes the Team
The Cubs trimmed their roster by two more today, releasing Gabor Bako and LHP Mike Stanton. Congrats to Koyie Hill and his bionic hand. The roster now stands at 28 and the position players and bench are set for Opening Day. The spring roster with just a week left in camp.
CATCHERS - Soto, Hill
INFIELDERS - Lee, Theriot, Miles, Fontenot, Ramirez, Hoffpauir
OUTFIELDERS - Soriano, Fukudome, Johnson, Bradley, Gathright
STARTING PITCHING: Zambrano, Dempster, Lilly, Harden, Marshall
RELIEF PITCHING: Gregg, Marmol, Heilman, Vizcaino, Cotts, Gaudin, Patton, Guzman, Fox, Samardzija
I think the first 5 bullpen spots are locked down, leaving Gaudin, Patton, Guzman, Fox and Samardzija for the final two spots and I don't see why they'd keep Samardzija in the majors with the relatively poor spring he has had and the fact that he has options left. And it's quite possible that Rich Harden will see the disabled list to start the season and the Cubs will then just have to move one of the four left - Gaudin, Patton, Guzman or Fox (Large cartoon blinking arrow pointing at Chad Gaudin's name).
