We don’t need .270-hitting AAA outfielders. Sam Fuld had his 15 minutes of fame. It’s over. Let’s find someone who can play 2B and hit. Someone like Mark DeRosa (paging NBF, I’d like this thread to be hijacked!).

well so he will be seen at Wrigley-on August 9th when the I-Cubs play the Las Vegas 51s there for the “Road to Wrigley”

… is another slap-hitting, .280 OBP “hitter”. Just saying no to this idea is not enough.

… Fuld’s Triple A batting average – which isn’t even all that good – to justify this idea, blows my mind. And the Cubs have made a number of decent-to-spectacular defensive plays over the past few weeks, none of them have woken the team up.

I repeat: There is no cavalry. There will be no rescue mission. This team must stand and fight on its own.

I cannot believe how just a couple of games can create such a legend. Sam Fuld is NOT what this team needs.

The Cubs don’t need another player like Ced Landrum or Joey Gathright. Fuld has little power. He can make sliding catches in the outfield. He is not what the northside of Chicago needs now.

This sound eerily familiar. No, I don’t think we need sam fuld, but I remember in late 2006 the cubs called up Ryan Theriot (our introduction to the riot) because he was an enerygy and they wanted to inject some energy into this team. Didn’t turn out very well because Dusty didn’t play him. He sat on the bench with a couple of pinch hits and was sent down about 10 days later. Hate to say it, but Lou is beginning to look a lot like Dusty. Shall we name him, Dusty Piniella or Lou Baker? They call up the hitter with the best average in professional baseball and what do we do, bench him. Thats AWESOME!
