If Maholm can get through this turn of the lineup and the Cubs can magically squeeze another run across, Cubs win probability will increase from 10% to 25% :D

Castro's OBP isn't much better though. That's really sad.

Right now im dealing with:

1) josh fields (who hasnt played in 2 years) should be our 3bmn over hudson

2) Adam Dunn shouldnt be playing

in the sox forum. im losing my mind over what some people say

OBP = .311

Basically Campana needs to hit a line drive somewhere (rare) or push the ball on the ground in a specific spot (slightly less rare) to be effective. If he can get on base, though, he's awesome. That's a big if though.

I think there is a spot for Campana on the roster. I don't think there is a spot in the starting lineup for Campana.

That might have been a double if Cabrera wasn't so fat.

that contract will bite them in the ass.

So will Fielder's.

It's kind of amusing to have two guys on the same team who have their own gravitational fields.

Castro's bat hasn't developed the way we had hope, but his defense has certainly come a long way. Those routine plays are actually starting to look routine.

it almost seems like he has regressed at the plate (dunno the splits, just eye test right now) but has improved ALOT in the field.

Maybe that's something he'll work on this offseason.

He is still getting his hits It is just the patience is getting worse and the power isn't really coming yet, hopefully. Maybe it was him pressing since the offense is so bad and he is supposed to be the focal point of the offense. I don't know really, but it would be something to look into.

Well Campana does what he needs to do with Cabrera at third base. That should be Campana's play this whole series.

Well Campana missed his chance to steal since Castro took his one pitch.

I remember all the talk about DeJesus being trash when they signed him, but I will gladly take the .370 OBP on my team.

Brenly expousing exactly what I've wanted from my team. That is when there is less than two strikes don't swing at a pitch you can't do damage on. Just because it is a strike doesn't mean it is a good pitch to hit.

I hate that fake-to-third play. Should be a balk but isn't.
