Byrd update thread- Byrd to DL

[USCChiFan]

I doubt he'll be back anytime before August at the earliest. I wonder who will be the full-time replacement for Byrd. I highly doubt Brett Jackson is getting called up, so I could see Tyler Colvin or Fernando Perez getting called up

I love how Cubs arnt going anywhere, so lets bring up a 29 y/o and have 2 young kids in Campana and Castillo rotting on the bench.. Also lets not have Colvin play every day in MLB.

We're obviously not going anywhere soon.

Campy isn't that young. He also isn't that much of a prospect. It is not like you can really mishandle a fringe prospect anyways.

Exactly. Campana is a PR. That's it.

I think he is kinda like Sam Fuld with worse defense and better base running.

Guy with 40+ SB and hitting .350 in AAA sounds like a guy the Cubs could use. They have NO speed or Defense. What does he does do well? Thats right speed and defense.
