And Let the Injury News Begin...

The annual rites of spring injuries has begun with Yu Darvish and Cliff Lee's barking elbows the first major casualties. Then news echoed throughout twitter this morning hat Blue Jays up 'n comer Marcus Stroman would most likely miss the entire season after tearing his ACL doing fielding drills. Once again, bunting proves costly. And now Jacob Turner is making the Cubs 5th starter decision a bit easier:

: Cubs news: Jacob Turner had an MRI. Flexor strain and bone bruise on his pitching elbow. Will be shut down for now

We'll see if the Blue Jays go shopping for a starter, as the Cubs have a surplus, but replacing the likes of Stroman isn't going to happen with a Travis Wood , Edwin Jackson or Felix Doubront. I imagine they'll set their eyes towards Philly first (as will Texas) before they come hat in hand to the Cubs. More likely they'll fill it with internal options as Daniel Norris and Marco Estrada were on the outside looking in at a rotation spot and they weren't even certain top prospect Aaron Sanchez wouldn't begin the season out of the bullpen.

As for today, the game should be on TV somewhere and it's a lineup full of prospects, so enjoy if you have the means.

No Bears news, other than some reports that Cutler is staying and they'll just try and simplify things for him.

BUT....

TE Jimmy Graham/4th round pick to Seahwaks in trade for C MaxUnger/1st round pick

Potential trade of QB S. Bradford to Eagles for QB Nick Foles and maybe some draft picks

and Lions replace Suh with DT Haloti Ngata from Ravens in a trade

and R. Cobb resigned with Packers yesterday

never seen so many NFL trades...kind of awesome.

In reply to by jacos

saw this @ProFootballTalk Per source, Giants S Antrel Rolle will visit the Bears. No deal is in place yet.

WR Eddie Royal signing with Bears though; @NBCdianna: I'm told WR Eddie Royal will be signing with The Chicago Bears. He loves Jay Cutler per sources.

UPDATE: Or not...@DavidHaugh Chargers writer. RT@UTgehlken Report WR Eddie Royal is headed to Bears "not true," league source says. We'll see what develops.

Bad News Cubs playing today behind Travis Wood

Alcantara, Lake and Bryant with throwing errors, Lake & Alcantara let a ball pop fly drop for double.

2014 t.wood showed up today...not a good look. 3ip 7h 4r 2er 0bb 2k had 3 errors behind him...bryant/lake/alcantara

soler solo homer...destroyed it. baez solo homer...destroyed it. back to back...both in almost the same place over the fence. bryant solo homer...destroyed it to right. 3 in row... t.bauer sucks today.

cubs tie! welly HR. so good to have the cubs back on tv even if none of this matters.

Cubs / Indians game being rebroadcast at 5am CT on MLB Network. Then live Cubs / Dodgers at 3 pm CT on MLB Network.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
