Campana still 0-for-spring training.

Not a very good player.

Just got back from the Cubs Spring Training. Went to the Padres-Dbacks game on wednesday & then Cubs-Dbacks on Thursday.

Cubs-Dbacks was horrible. Chi lost 12-2 (AZ lost 8-0 to SD on Wed too). Pretty sure it was #68 (maybe #66) who should never step foot on a baseball mound again. Walked in 2 runs then gave up a monster grand slam.

Cubbies looked absolutely pathetic on Thursday. HoHoKam was packed to the brim as usual though & the crowd was awesome.

Oh well, Go Cubs Go.

Havent had very good ST.. i never said he be a super star. I thought he could be usefull piece on a MLB team.

As a pinch runner.

The Cubs tried that with Joey Gathright and how did that work? They eventually release/DFA him.

He'll start season in Triple A ... Joe Mather will win that spot.

Hmmm...rain in the Phoenix area. I wonder if they'll even get that game in.

Vegas looks relatively clear though.

 

[waldo7239117]

Damn, who will get the5th spot in the rotation? I gotta go with Volstad, he better have a good game.

A good chance Wells gets traded, Wood to Triple A, Coleman to Triple A, and Lopez to Triple A.

If Wells is not traded, I see him as the long inning relief pitcher.

 

[waldo7239117]

YES!!!! Dolis is likely to make 'pen, taking Samardzija's spot in the 'pen.

Volstad seems to be doing well. Cubs need to get some runs for him now :lol:

 

[Rice Cube]

Lots of grounders but a couple line drives too. 1-0 Texas, bottom 3rd.

Okay with things starting to shake out a little bit. I'm guessing they break camp with 12 pitchers because it seems like 12 is now the standard that teams carry. Here is what I have as it stands now:
1. Matt Garza
2. Ryan Dempster
3. Paul Malholm
4. Jeff Samardzija
5. Chris Volstad (Randy Wells with an outside chance of taking that spot)

Bullpen-
1. CL Carlos Marmol
2. R SU Kerry Wood
3. L SU James Russell
4. MR Rafael Dolis
5. MR Probably a lefty (Probably Trevor Miller if I had to guess now)
6. MR (Manny Corpas, Marcos Maeto, Andy Sonnastine, ???)
7. LR/Mopup guy Lendry Castillo (Rule 5 pick that has shown enough for them to try to stash him)

Evil twin alert!

I assume the White Sox are winning right? Gameday froze and I'm watching basketball instead

Don't know how that one happened. Oh well for trying to type it out quick.

Where's Travis Wood :shrug:

 

[Rice Cube]

Cubs win one, but Campana was unable to hit that grand slam we were all waiting for...guess we'll have to wait some more for the other game.

Where's Travis Wood :shrug:

Probably on his way to Iowa. Got an option left, needs to work on not sucking.
