Therein lies part of their grievance, yes? Im sure part of the very thing they will argue is that the Cubs kept him off the 40 man intentionally.

Christian Villanueva is on the 40 man, plays the same position as Bryant, yet he hit .230 between AA and AAA last season. How is that explained?

CJ Edwards doesnt even have 50 IP above A ball and he's there.

Just looks like it could be another move to keep Bryant from getting service time.

CJ Edwards was put on the 40 man so he could be protected from the rule 5. I believe Villanueva was the same deal, but I could be wrong.

They can argue the 40 man thing all they want. They are going to have to prove intent. If all they have is the argument that Mike Olt sucks defensively, and that Christian Villanueva should be outrighted to the California Penal League because of his .230 average, then I'm positive that Theo is happy with his position in that scenario.

w/e though, I'm not gonna be mad either way. He's still a Cub, and will be for at least 5 years.
