Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Rockies

The Cubs complete their home and home series with the Rockies today, as they travel to Tuscon. Sean Marshall will go for the Cubs against fellow south-paw, Mark Redman. Carlos Zambrano is scheduled to throw against some minor leaguers in Mesa.

UPDATE: The Cubs trimmed their roster down to 36 by optioning Neal Cotts to Triple-A and assigning Koyie Hill to minor league camp. That leaves 5 non-roster invitees still left in camp: pitchers Chad Fox and Les Walrond and position players, Micah Hoffpauir, Casey McGehee and Alex Cintron.

Yeah that was brutal. And then gets to close to the wall and turns the play into a triple. ---------------- Don't ever give Murton a boomerang. It'd probably chop off his head when it rebounds.

murton in LF Rocky Roquet now in...Marshall's line: 4IP/5H/2R/2ER/2BB/3K I wonder where he's going to be come 3/31? I wish he had a better track record for going deeper into games though.

Pignatello with another scoreless inning and 2 K's. He's unscored upon for the spring...so if he doesn't make the team (and I doubt he will) it must be discouraging to be stuck under such a good lefty like Stevie Eyre. Maybe we can start a cockamamie rumor that Detroit is interested in Eyre (for Granderson instead of Wuertz for Thames or Inge...well it's my rumor, I'm entitled to pick who I want in the trade).

"The Cub Reporter has heard the Tigers are interested in Stevie Eyre although the Cubs GM, after consulting former team president Andy McFail, were told to ask for Curtis Granderson in return." ...so much for my bogus trade rumor of the day

Nice to see Lou moving Soriano out of the 2nd spot, but he belongs behind Lee somewhere, since Lee's main value offensively has become his .400 OBP. Anyone else worried about the trouble the 8-hole might cause for Pie if he doesn't get off to a hot start? It seems to me that guys with a free swinging approach would tend to have trouble hitting 8th, since they'll never see a strike.

The Cub Reporter, citing well placed sources who wish to remain anonymous due to their privileged access, reports that the Detroit Tigers are interested in swapping lefthanded pitcher Scott Eyre for lefthanded superstar Curtis Granderson.

and David Kaplan will be on at 7pm with his sports central show on WGN with an interview from a Detroit insider that goes by the name, Neifi_is_not_in_the_package.

With Daytona and Peoria at home at Fitch Park today, I believe Carlos Zambrano traveled with the Iowa squad to Papago Park (A's minor league complex) to pitch against AAA hitters. He definitely did not pitch in either of the games at Fitch Park, although he did take 10 AM BP with the Iowa Cubs.

I believe Carlos Zambrano traveled with the Iowa squad to Papago Park (A's minor league complex) =========== He did. There is a description and some pictures of Z's outing at bleedcubbieblue.com apparently he went 6 IP, 2H, 0 Runs, 3BB, 4K and 91 pitches.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
