BA Mock Draft #2

They have Cubs taking a very "Cub" pick in stud CF out of Arkansas.

That is the shitty part about Lester. He takes up two roster spots. I also wish he looked like he gave a frick when hitting, but at least he is a really good pitcher and that is what counts.

Sure enough, Phil Coke DFA'd and Brian Schlitter optioned to AAA. Tsuyoshi Wada and Junior Lake will be called up; Travis Wood moved to the bullpen.

Edwin Jackson...still a Cube.

More wins than Hendricks...and they say wins are a useless statistic.

I'm interested to see what wood does in the pen...but if he sucks there too...cut him and jackson in one fail swoop.

Jackson is just taking up a roster spot. He's dreadful. I think when Neil Ramirez comes back, that could be the last of Edwin.

LINK - Castillo to Mariners

It sounds like the 3 catcher thing has been sorted out. Just heard on mlb network radio that Castillo is going to the Mariners

2-1 record...and if you put him in a low leverage position he excels. Who doesn't need a guy like that on the team.

But yea...dump him and wood, call it a day.

I don't really hate Ross...what he does well, he does really well. Pitch framing (that's a thing now) and defense. He does put together decent AB's, too. Sucks that Welington was squeezed, but at least now that roster crunch can get sorted out.

Now, there's another roster spot open...

I'm curious to see what we got back and what kind of roster move they're going to make to replace him.

I've actually warmed up to Ross. I don't think it was ever about his offense anyways. It seems like the rest of the Cubs love him around, so I'm cool with it

If I had to make a prediction, it is either some low A ball pitcher that's like 18 years old or maybe some college pitcher in A or AA that nobody expects to be good but has put up solid numbers.

Or Felix.

ETA: I forgot about Dustin Ackley...

I wish I'd made this terrible joke. It's the perfect amount of corny.
