Waiver wire deals?
60 comments
We have seen in the past that Hendry has made some moves after the trade deadline, and I hope he does the same here.
The primary reason- the bullpen. With Wood out for at least another 2-3 days, and the fact that both Howry AND Eyre cannot be trusted to pitch other than with massive leads or massive deficits, Hendry should make a move.
The starting pitching, defense and hitting are all way above average. But a move to pull in one more righty, like Gaudin for example (decent numbers, unlikely to implode), would be enough to carry us through.
Any suggestions as to a waiver deal? Heath Bell, Jared Burton?

Scott Eyre
I’ve got to believe that the Cubs are on the verge of releasing Eyre. Nobody is going to claim him on waivers after Hendry was apparently unsuccessful in finding a taker. I would think this shoe will drop just as soon as Kerry Wood is ready to come off the DL.

On plus side
Howry finally didn’t give up a run. Perhaps all he needed was one solid inning to start a stretch of scoreless games. I know we can only hope!

Agreed.
Scott looked really bad out there, and Howry not much better.
It’s a matter of number of arms available- in a game where a Cubs starter gets shelled, Lou can’t risk running Howry or Eyre out there because they won’t pitch well enough to allow a comeback.
Even a serviceable replacement will do. Between Wood, Marmol, Gaudin, Shark, Marshall and Cotts, the bullpen is actually very good. Which is why Eyre and Howry shouldn’t weight them down.

I-Cubs As Replacements
Iowa has Michael Wuertz, Pedro Ascanio, and Kevin Hart. My preference would be for Ascanio to be called up, if the Cubs let go of Howry or Eyre.

Hart gets lit up every time out and Lou doesn’t appear to like Wuertz at all.

Wuertz has had other times when it wasn't working
particularly very early in the year, like ST, and come around later. This year, I think he is getting the Scott Eyre/Jacque Jones treatment. Those two sat on the bench for all of June and July 2007 due to poor performance, then after having all that time to think about what they need to do, were allowed back into games. Both wound up having very good second halves.
Wuertz might be in that kind of Lou-engineered situation this year.

I am not an Eyre fan,
but he looked ok to me. Braun pulled a seeing eye single on a pitch 6 inches outside. Then the next two batters hit texas leaguers that were only lucky to fall.

:P Just kidding.
Anyway. I say he gets a coupla chances to knock the rust off. I wish he’d been able to convert that last out today, tho.

"unsuccessful in finding a taker"
Nah. There was no rush. Eyre will clear waivers and Hendry can try and trade him then. Boston was one of the rumored suitors, and they clearly had their hands full today, so, Eyre may yet get traded for something of minimal value.

Unless Eyre is hurt (which I have not heard anyting about)
I think you need to give him 3-4 outing to shake off the rust. Let’s see what he’s got then… do release him now seems premature to me.

he got hit and was not efficient. Was he Bob Howry? No. But he wasn’t lookin that good. Hopefully any suitors know he is probably rusty.

I agree about rust in general
but what you have to ask is why Lou let him get so rusty. It is very possible that Eyre has lost a step.

Well....

And I admit I’m biased. I’ve met Eyre, I like him, he’s a funny guy.

I think Cubs pick up Vizquel but later in August
Since July 13th (day before the ASG) he is 11/27 (.407) in 11 games. He would be a good glove to come off the bench as a switch hitter,

by Ivy Walls on Jul 31, 2008 4:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I'll take Cedeno instead
I just don’t get the interest in Vizquel. Could he even play 3rd if necessary?
by rlpete on Jul 31, 2008 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
the interest is simple....he still has the best zone rating in the game----period
he makes hits into outs…....late inning.
I will give you some insight. You can point back and pick 4 games that Theriot cost the Cubs late with his fielding weakness…4 games that the Cubs eventually lost. Now Theriot is having a great offensive year…great.
In the playoffs it is unlikely that Cedeno would have an impact outside a pinch hitting attempt or pinch running opportunity. But with Vizquel you could insert him late in the game for the final 6 to 3 outs and insure that SS is fully manned.
There are what 28 games in August and a trade like this wouldn’t be made until August 8th or 9th. It would mean Cubs make room on the roster for 20 games until Sept 1st. There might be an injury, lots of things to do.

rlpete is right that Cedeno is preferrable to Vizquel on paper
but Lou has made it clear that he’d rather lose ballgames (those cited by Ivy Walls) to Theriot’s defensive inabilities than sit Theriot for Cedeno as a defensive replacement. To get Theriot to actually take a seat will require a Name Veteran being brought in.

If Lou would drop a pitcher
then maybe you have a point. I can’t see Vizquel over Cedeno but in addition, ok. After Sept 1, sure why not but would Piniella use him?
by rlpete on Jul 31, 2008 8:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That is a good question
Would Lou use any SS as a defensive replacement for Ryan Theriot? Or is Lou too invested in the Legend of Ryan Theriot, Scrapmaster to play even a gold-glover as a defensive replacement for him?
I tend to think the only way the Cubs get a decent defensive SS is in a post-DeRosa era, when Theriot can be shifted to 2B. The Cubs might trade DeRosa this winter, but more likely, we’ll be waiting for a real SS until 2010.

Oh, lord.
Not the Vizquel stuff again.
Will you give this up? VIZQUEL IS DONE! He can’t hit at all and even his vaunted defensive skills have eroded, at the age of 41. What is the point?

I'd be ok with Vizquel
As long as he does not bat. One issue would be the fact that he would take “playoff experience” time away from younger guys that could use some big game seasoning. Vizquel would not be a Cub past Nov 1, but ONEDEC, Riot, and LBR could be for several years.

I think you might be onto something
Lou Piniella is not enamored with Ronny Cedeno, and for good reason. Omar Vizquel is an interesting name to keep an eye on.

Scott Eyre
One theory on why he hasn’t been used until after the trading deadline passed (he came into today’s game AFTER the 3:00 PM cutoff) is because Hendry and Piniella were trying to hide that he is less than 100% healthy in attempts to move him in a trade. But now that the deadline has passed? All bets are off. Look for the Cubs to start using Eyre in blowouts in the coming days. Then they either designated him for assignment or trade him for a used infield rake (he will clear waivers) coincidental to Kerry Wood being activated.

In favor if Marquis has another crappy start or two
because although the Cubs have in-house alternatives, I like Marshall and Samardzija in the bullpen for the purposes of this stretch run. It might depend on being able to trade Marquis though, because where else are you going to put him.
I wonder how this works though, with Maddux’s no-trade clause, if he Padres put him on waivers (which they are rumored to be planning to do), someone claims him, and they don’t try or want to block it. Can Maddux say no if the Twins or Yankees claim him (for example), SD doesn’t pull him back off the wire, and he doesn’t want to go?

He only fits on the Cubs minus Marquis. I suppose Marquis could be a waiver trade candidate. In fact, if he was claimed on waivers, would Hendry let him go without any return?

Felipe Lopez released
From the Washington Post - both Lopez and Lo Duca were flat out released. Lo Duca probably goes to Florida. Lopez could go to Iowa. The Cubs could use some middle IF depth and were rumored to have looked at Lopez in the spring. Ideally, the Cubs could find a lefty, speedy middle IF with excellent defense to have stashed at Iowa. Lopez at least gives you 3 out of the 4.

Interesting.
Lopez can’t really hit any more either, but he can play defense. Much better idea than Vizquel if you really want an IF backup. But acquiring him now would mean waiving Ronny Cedeno, because Cedeno is out of options.

If Lopez is just released
we can sign him to a minor league deal and keep Cedeno at the major league level. Lopez, then, only comes up when rosters expand or if Cedeno/Theriot gets injured.
I’m also not convinced that Lopez couldn’t start hitting again under a better hitting coach. Lopez is the same age as Ryan Theriot.
Now, Lopez could find a ML job somewhere – the Twins need a 2B, e.g. But he might also want to sign on in the NL Central and/or for a team that looks bound for the playoffs.
As for Cedeno – he won’t pass through waivers, I bet. If he was going to be traded, it was going to be before the deadline, although, if the right club claims him, Hendry could potentially work a deal.

Seeing Lopez here in Washington
I would take Cedeno over Lopez. Lopez’ defense hasn’t been that good lately either. That said if Lopez would take a minor league deal, he’s not a bad option to have playing in Iowa. If Theriot or Cedeno get hurt, the Cubs don’t have a good alternative.

Potential bats available on waivers
I agreed that a righty bat off the bench would be helpful. Cedeneo has been so-so in the role and Reed Johnson is a good option when he’s not starting. Someone with more pop off the bench may be worth a pickup for September. Most of the guys who are likely to be available and clear waivers are Jay Payton, Kevin Millar, Greg Norton, Ron Belliard, Austin Kearns, Miguel Cairo, Jerry Hairston Jr., Pablo Oszuna (where has he been since being released?) and Vizquel.
Nothing very exciting. I like Millar as a righty counterpart to Ward… and maybe Jay Payton, since he can play centerfield. I wouldn’t cut any position players on the current 25 man roster to make these guys post season eligible unless it’s an injury situation.
As far as lefties, Ward has been a disappointing pinch hitter, but it doesn’t look like he’s washed up. He still takes walks and makes contact. I can see him getting in a groove done the strech. Fontenot has some pop as does Edmonds when he’s not starting. Hoffpauir, Pie and Koyie Hill will be useful bench players when rosters expand.
