Link for Wednesday: Will Albert Pujols Need Elbow Surgery?, Felix Pie (Ball
2008-03-06 07:44:00 One of the remarkable things about Albert Pujols is the incredible numbers he puts up year after year, despite back and elbow injuries. The guy is just a beast. There were rumors that Pujols might undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. MLB.com ...

Cubs Aggressively Pursuing Brian Roberts
2007-12-06 04:40:00 UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 10:03pm: ESPN Radio 1000's Bruce Levine checks in to add that Ronny Cedeno would likely be involved in a Roberts deal. UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 9:39pm: ESPN's Amy Nelson says Hill is not part of the Roberts talks. Marshall, Gallagher, Felix Pie, and Donald Veal may be in the mix though. UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 8:17pm: ESPN's Steve Phillips says the Orioles "would get Rich Hill and Sean Marshall" for Roberts. Not sure if that means the Cubs offered it. Seems like a lot, but I am an unabashed Rich Hill fan. FROM 12-5-07 at 5:31pm: Dan Connolly and Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun are reporting that the Cubs are aggressively pursuing the Orioles' Brian Roberts. A three player deal is on the table, so I assume the Cubs would send two players over. It's known that they'd send a starting pitcher, but we don't have names yet. The authors note that the Orioles have been fond of Rich Hill and Sean Gallagher in the past. Keep in mi...

Long Shot: Willis Back To Cubs?
2007-07-30 07:39:00 Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus has an interesting note in today's Rumor Mill: "The Cubs also still covet Dontrelle Willis as "the one that got away" and--despite his not being on the market--Willis is one player the Cubs could get if Larry Beinfest suddenly changes his mind about that. Adding Felix Pie to Jacque Jones and Donald Veal would get it done, while not adding to the Cubs payroll." Jim Hendry already tried to patch up one of the all-time classic Cub mistakes by signing Greg Maddux before the 2004 season. At least that departure didn't happen under Hendry's watch. Back in March of 2002, Hendry traded Ryan Jorgensen, Jose Cueto, Julian Tavarez, and Willis to the Marlins for Matt Clement and Antonio Alfonseca. Where are they now? Jorgensen, a catcher, had a four-game cup of coffee for the Fish in '05, and now toils for the Reds' Triple A team. Cueto, a pitcher, never made it past Double A and finished off his career back in the ...

Murton Late Scratch; Payton Talks Itensify
2007-07-29 03:26:00 UPDATE: While perhaps shopping Murton, the Cubs have had significant talks regarding Baltimore's Jay Payton. The Cubs would send over two mid-level prospects; does Murton fit that criteria? Payton will make $5MM next year to finish his contract. UPDATE 2: RotoWorld says Murton was scratched tonight to allow Cliff Floyd to play and then get Sunday off. Matt Murton was a late scratch for tonight's Cubs-Reds game. Does it mean anything? We should know soon enough. This time of year, every scratch or unexpected mid-game substitution is magnified. The Cubs have been talking to the Rangers about lefty reliever Ron Mahay and catcher Gerald Laird, so maybe there's a connection. The Rangers could definitely find room for Murton in their outfield. Take it with a grain of salt, but a Cubs source of mine confirms Felix Pie's availability (huh?) and says the Cubs made an inquiry on Torii Hunter. While intriguing, I wouldn't expect either player to be traded.

Felix Pie Is Up; For How Long?
2007-04-19 15:41:00 Felix Pie was called up Tuesday, and made his first big league start, for the ailing Alfonso Soriano. So far, in 2 games, Pie is .200/.273/.500 with a double and a triple and an RBI. He even gunned down a go ahead run at the plate in the 10th inning in his first game Tuesday. As great as it is for the Chicago Cubs top organizational prospect to be up in the bigs, their OF, when Soriano becomes healthy again, will be somewhat crowded. The cubs have Soriano, Pie, Matt Murton, Cliff Floyd and Jacque Jones. That leaves the question of Pies’ remaining in Chicago, somewhat up in the air once Soriano gets back. I just read an article over at Baseball Prospectus, that gives Cub’s GM, Jim Hendry, 5 ways to trim the fat and keep Felix Pie up in the majors all season. Technorati Tags: Felix Pie, Chicago Cubs
