It won't have the same impact, of course, but last September 3 at Wrigley Field, Randy Wolf (then an Astro) took the mound against Ryan Dempster. Dempster threw seven decent innings, allowing eight hits and three runs, but Wolf threw a six-hit shutout, the last shutout thrown against the Cubs.
It's spring training and of course Wolf and Dempster won't go more than four innings, but we'll see if this year's version of the Cubs can hit him. Milton Bradley is expected to play right field today. Also expected to pitch for the Cubs: Justin Berg, Andrew Cashner, Rocky Roquet, Mike Stanton, Luis Vizcaino, and Randy Wells. Others who will take the mound for the Dodgers include Jeff Weaver (yes, Jeff Weaver) and Eric Stults.
The Cubs are second in the major leagues so far this spring with 37 walks (Angels lead with 39). Good to see that the patience the Cubs developed last year is still there.
Lou says the club is still looking for infield help:
"We've been playing these guys that are all in camp here, and I haven't seen anybody who has stood out," Piniella said. "They are all doing a representative job, but I haven't seen anybody, as of yet, that we can say, 'Well, this is the guy.' Our scouts keep looking."
Why the need for extra help in the infield?
"Assuming that we stay the way we are, all of a sudden, we need to pinch-hit and we've got Miles or Fontenot or Theriot sitting on the bench," Piniella said. "Once I use them, I've got no more infielders. We're done. And these kids here are nice options to send up late in the ballgame because they're athletic, they can hit, they can run. But, boy, once you make a move, we don't have any more infielders."
Unless you want to see Alfonso Soriano play 2B, and I don't think anyone here does. That statement also says to me that Lou hasn't been impressed with Luis Rivas so far.
Here is today's MLB.com Mediacenter. The game is on WGN radio with Pat & Ron.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Compared to some of your images, that's pretty tame.
It’s from a movie.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
So after all these years
Piniella has realized that there is a finite amount of player replacements he can make before the bench is depleted?
That’s the biggest complaint I have about his in-game strategy (second would be refusal to use certain pitchers/long relievers). If he can learn that after all this time, good for him.

And this makes a good argument for an 11-man pitching staff....
… to give more flexibility.

I guess Andy White hasn't bowled Lou over either.
It’s just as well. Assuming Lou stubbornly sticks with a 12-man pitching staff, there’s really no room on the 25-man roster for anyone other than a 3B/PH or a 1B/PH. Ideally, that 3B/PH could also play shortstop, but Nomar is an Athletic.

I know I know
Theriot isn’t a STUD SS, but if there are few people on the Cubs (Aram, Gameboard(hopefully)) that i would want at the plate when needing baserunners…and I’ve never felt that theriot was that big of a liability at short
he may not be a stud
but he’s a base stealing hunk of scrap.
or so they say.

Per WGN 720
Nomar just signed a 1-year deal with the Oakland A’s.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Well since Nomar has signed.
Would either Marcus Giles or Taduhito Iguchi be available should Chase Utley be ready to go on opening day?
Either one of them could fill a 2B/3B backup role…though 1B would be out.

Marcus Giles?
Is he still alive?
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
Apparently.
He sat out last year, and then realized he wanted to play again, according to this article.
I would rather have Iguchi as a sub, but Giles may be available.

Giles declined three straight years before 2007.

Looking for infield help?
Then why did Lou get rid of Mark DeRosa? He was one of the most versatile players on their roster last year. Of the players they traded away this past winter, DeRosa is the one I’ll miss the most.

I don't think anyone's gonna argue against that

Well I can't imagine that Hendry traded DeRosa away in the middle of the night, while Lou was sleeping.
"Everything that rises must converge"
Getting Rid of Derosa
Was simply a business of Baseball move….I doubt the fact that Derosa was a fan favorite played in the minds of Lou and Hendry for very long if at all
The operative word being "supposedly"
Between DeRosa’s salary and what they will pay Miles the savings is about 2 million. Not chump change but not worth losing DeRosa. Dumping Marquis was the move for Bradley. We thought at the time that DeRosa was traded because the Padres were interested in some of the Indians pitching prospects but that did not turn out to be the case. The interview with DeRosa seems to indicate he felt Lou might have had some role. Perhaps another victim of Lou’s lefty obsession ? Also DeRosa may have been TOO versatile for Lou, I mean where is the fun in having a guy who can play up to 7 positions when you so love to use up your bench as fast as you can.

Well, how much did the Marquis move free up? Not that much more, seeing as how we took back Vizcaino (sp?)
If you want to believe Lou had some ulterior motive here, fine but you can’t explain it all using the Marquis deal. IMO, Cubs needed $ to pay for Bradley, and given all the NTCs, the only meaningful options were Marquis and DeRosa. Trading those two provided the payroll flexibility to land Bradley. Simple as that.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Marquis freed up 5 million, DeRosa 2 million
Assuming there was no need to sign Miles. In fact the contracts were a wash except that Miles was for 2 years thus saving
only 2 million this year. Again if you read DeRosa’s interview he says that he is basically unsure what Lou’s feelings were.
At the Convention Hendry said it was about getting the team more left handed and that it was the hardest decision he ever made.
P.S I certainly don’t think Lou is drunk or no nothing but that his my way or the highway personal style coupled with his propsensity to overmanage the bench and bullpen has been very bad for this team.

unsure = victim of obsession?
Let it go, doggie, let it go. Life is too short.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Um read between the lines
DeRosa and Wood both clearly felt Lou did not want them . Now you can argue he was right not to want Wood because he believed him to be unreliable and DeRosa because he wanted more left handed hitters but don’t think Hendry makes a deal like that without Lou wanting something different from what he has.
I admit I do obsess on the bench part. I seriously will just can’t get over the game in Philly last year. Kind of scared me for life on Lou’s managing even though the Cubs got the win on an error. I just never thought I would see a manager use his entire bench in a 9 inning tied road game.

Did not DeRosa and Lou both clear up any "read-between-the-lines" misconceptions shortly after that interview?
What makes you not believe any of that?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
I don't mean "personal"
I imagine Lou has nothing personal against Scott Eyre, Wood etc but he has propensity to freeze out player he does not ‘trust" over use ones he does etc. In DeRosa’s case I believe it was his obsession with getting more left handed without really fully considering the long term effects of losing DeRosa. I certainly don’t think he had anything against him beyond his inability to bat lefty but it does not make the move any less one Lou wanted and got.

So in other words, you're saying Lou is stupid
because he’d have to be stupid to look at a list of all the positive attributes DeRosa brings to a club and then look at the other side of that ledger and see “bats righty”, and come to the conclusion that not hitting lefty trumps all the other factors.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
no i think
he was just defending his post. He is saying that Dero leaving wasnt personal but rather due to his obsession with getting LH bats in the order. Whether or not lou is stupid is for a different conversation
No but I think he has tunnel vision
on certain players and issues. I think we tend to agree he overmanages the bullpen and bench. Is it your belief that Hendry tells Lou I am going to trade DeRosa and sign Miles because we need to save
2 million and Lou is caught totally off guard and goes along with it ? I believe DeRosa was a victim of Lou’s obsession with getting more left handed bat

by Doggie Stalker on Mar 6, 2009 2:39 PM CST up reply actions
Well I believe the organization's #1 objective was to sign Milton Bradley
and there were some financial limits to take into consideration. Given the NTCs, the only way they could get the $ needed was to not re-sign Wood, and trade Marquis and DeRosa.
I also believe they did the DeRosa deal most reluctantly (Lou included) because they could foresee the infield issue they now face, but bottom line the desire to obtain Bradley outweighed DeRosa’s versatility.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
we will agree to disagree
I don’t see DeRosa being traded for 2 million especially considering they may pay most of that to Bako If he the team. Now if they had an unlimited budget that would have allowed them to sign another major lefty for say CF then maybe DeRosa stays so perhaps you can argue money plays a role but my belief is that if he were left handed he would still be a Cub.
I guess this means so free ball for me ? Well not like you caught Maddux’s 2005 homer ( it went in the basket). I hate to offend a real ballhawk.

by Doggie Stalker on Mar 6, 2009 2:55 PM CST up reply actions
no offense here (sounds like my baseball career)
I’m thinking if money were not a factor, then DeRosa stays and Miles is not signed. It’s easy to say it’s just $2M now, but these things don’t always happen at the same time. Again, I think getting Bradley trumped everything else, and closely behind that were some financial limitations that made all the other moves a series of unfortunate events.
Another personal belief, if we’re playing the what-if game, is if Lee doesn’t have a NTC, he would have been more likely to be traded than DeRosa.
I didn’t give you a ball last year? Shame on me… I thought I did. Give me a heads up before one of your trips and stop by the corner.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Thanks for the offer
2 million is not chump change but I still believe DeRosa stays if he is a lefty.

DeRosa's contract
was the one that could be moved. Lee = NTC. Soriano = NTC. Ramirez = NTC.
It’s entirely possible as well that DeRosa was traded because they thought they COULD take what we got and trade for Peavy, and it fell apart.

Jack Wilson is the name to watch
Pittsburgh would like to dump him and the Cubs have a need. I’m not advocating Wilson by any stretch. He is a solid defensive shortstop with a not so impressive bat.
I thought Wilson had a big contract.
He made $6+M for ‘08, I don’t know what the freight is for ’09, but doubt it is easily digested. Maybe you can include Vizcaino.

Macier Izturis is the answer in a perfect world
That would complete the 13th player. Then does Hendry & Lou keep a 14th position player or a 12 pitcher.
My guess something will be done here by March 20th
Piniella: "This is a tougher job than I thought it would be, I'm going to be honest with you."
There is zero indication that the playoff chasing Angels want to move Macier Izturis
Or any of their other infielders in Eric Aybar, Howie Kendrick, Brandon Wood, Chone Figgins. Not sure therefore were all this Izturis talk comes from.
I'm watching the O's-Nats game.
Felix Pie hit a deep FO in his first AB (took a spectacular catch to prevent extra-base hit) and legged out an infield single in his second AB (hot shot to 3B). Not surprisingly, he looks overqualified in left field, too.

Actually, I think Torre

Rolling Stone Reviewer:
With its alternate universe of vigilante superheroes and power-crazed U.S. politicians heading for nuclear disaster, Watchmen took comic books to the next level as literature. The film, directed by 300 wild man Zack Snyder, arrives after years of false starts from the creative likes of Brazil’s Terry Gilliam, Bourne’s Paul Greengrass and The Wrestler’s Darren Aronofsky. Even if you don’t see Snyder’s version, which has its problems, it won’t kill you to peek at the comic book that Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof called “the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced.”

The comic is freaking awesome.
If you ever liked DC or Marvel, Watchmen is worth a serious read.
