With the past year of ups and downs, I don't think know. He posted a 1-1 record at Daytona and that's about the last thing I've heard of him. I don't think he was DFA'd was he?
I'm still amazed at the rise and fall of Rich. It's like as soon as he lost sight of the strike zone this year that the rest of the train fell off the tracks with him to the point that he got bounced all over the Cubs' system trying to get him back to an even keel. It looks like he barely broke even this year. From that honorable 11-8 season to near oblivion is one heck of a fall for a 28 year old guy. Will he come back and be a factor at all in the Cubs next spring, let alone next year?
