Is Colvin headed to Iowa

He’s been out of the Smokies lineup the past 2 days. With Fuld in Chicago, Colvin might well be his replacement.

If you like Selig's handling of the steroid issue, you'll love his choice for next Cub owner.

I had no idea

that Castro had 25 errors on the season. Damn.

I could barely tie my shoes at that age.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

that doesn’t mean it’s not something to be concerned about.

alot of SS at that age struggle with their defense. They usually improve as they get older. If I recall Jeter had a ton of errors when he was that age.

Plus most of Castro’s errors have been throwing (i read the boxes daily), so that’s alot easier to correct.

by mikew on Jul 1, 2009 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

Exactly.

For one thing, in the major leagues he’d have a better first baseman who could help cut down on those throwing errors.

Clearly Iowa has been hurt by the loss of Fuld

They are 0-3 since he left the line up. Maybe Lou could let him play to see if he can actually help the Cubs.

Colvin

I think he was out of the lineup because the Smokies were facing a lefty, but I could be wrong. In any case, I would be surprised if he got a call up to AAA after less than a month of being back in AA.

by gocubsgo2287 on Jul 1, 2009 9:03 AM CDT reply actions  

I would be too

although his time in Daytona was just so he could DH while he rehabbed his arm.

Players in the minors aren’t held out because they’re getting promoted, unless it’s to the majors. So I imagine he’s probably got some minor bangs and bruises that they’re sitting him on. You don’t want to push someone who’s just had TJ surgery.

So Iowa loses 1-0. Seems like our offense is rubbing off on Iowa.

grabbing their hot bats to bring them up to the big stage doesn’t seem to help either.

Go Iowa! Make Sue proud.

GUZER!

Return to us!

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
