Ryan Rowland-Smith Is a Cub

27

I just realized that, unless I'm missing something, this story doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere on BCB yet. The link above goes to the SB Nation Chicago write-up on the signing - don't worry, it's a minor league deal - but I learned of it when Rowland-Smith himself announced he was a Cub on Twitter. I'm not even sure why I'm following him...he may have been one of the first MLB players on there. Anyway, my only real question about this development is as follows: If Rowland-Smith does manage to make the 2012 big league bullpen, would he be the first Australian-born player on the Cubs?
