Sveum says Brett Jackson is essentially ready to play in the big leagues, but admits there isn't room on #Cubs roster as constructed now.

Translation:

"We need to keep him down for about two months to guarantee that seventh year of control."

Gives 2 months of Byrd to get value up also

Trade Byrd to the Indians they need the CF because of the Sizemore injury.

They have Brantley. They more looking for LF. Team i think Byrd fit great with is WSN. Harper will be starting in minors. So right now they have Morse LF, Ankiel CF and Werth RF.

It's kind of annoying that they keep putting Brett Jackson in the corners when his maximum value is as a CF, but at the same time I guess they need to make sure Mather can do well at all the OF positions since he's probably the favorite to take the fifth OF spot.

Hope Rizzo comes into either game for Baker or LaHair.

3/15 Cubs roster moves

The Cubs trimmed the spring roster by seven on Thursday. Pitchers Jeff Beliveau, Alberto Cabrera, and John Gaub and infielder Josh Vitters were optioned to Triple-A Iowa. Infielder Junior Lake and outfielder Matt Szczur were optioned to Double-A Tennessee, and catcher Jason Jaramillo was assigned to the Minor League camp. With the moves, the Cubs spring camp roster is at 48.

Stewart replaced by Cardenas in one game, Barney replaced by Scales in another. Spring training caution if they're nursing minor ailments.

 

[Rice Cube]

Cardenas has had three chances at 3B so far and converted two outs while not quite able to get Eric Young on a soft infield hit.

 

[Rice Cube]

Junior Lake just hit a 3-run shot against the Rockies.

If someone has to go 0-for-spring training, I guess it might as well be Tony Campana.

Cubs sucking in two places today.
