In other news, there's a radio report on ESPN1000 (
and now a Trib blog entry) that Will Ohman has been sent down and Sean Gallagher called up. Reader Wes may have uncovered the motivation beyond Ohman's 5+ ERA in this
cubs.com article.
The Cubs are considering the possibility of someone in the Minor Leagues making a spot start to give the other starters a breather.
The Cubs face the Rockies for four this weekend and currently had Lilly, Marquis, Hill and Marshall slated to start. All three lefties rely quite heavily on big curveballs and the thin air of Colorado has a tendency to make your curve not curve so much. It would also be a great time to pass on Rich Hill who's a flyball specialist. At least Marquis and Marshall generally keep the ball on the ground. If that is the plan, I'd like to see Lilly, Marquis, Gallagher, and Marshall myself.
