ut Tim Federowicz is a fairly middling catcher. He is a very good defensive catcher and I know how much the Cubs value that, but over Neil Ramirez? I found it odd.


Cubs have been playing with a short bench and carrying an extra bullpen arm. Fixed that problem.

Yeah, I understand the numbers game. But I don't understand the personnel move.

You ever DFA a Russian assassin? It doesn't turn out so well. None of this would be a problem if we weren't being denied Schwarber.

Eh, it was going to be a pitcher, neil hasn't been very good since the shoulder injury, velocity is down, trust in him is gone. I'm kind of surprised it took this long.

Best of luck to him of course, but he wasn't really a contributor.

Ramirez was essentially the right-handed Clayton Richard.

Clayton Richard's mechanics actually make me angry. I don't know how he can ever throw a strike with that delivery. Brian Fuentes was the same way years ago.

It making you angry made me laugh...but I know what you mean. He's funky.

Not legitimately angry of course, but you get my drift. If he walks someone, my kneejerk reaction is essentially "well if he wouldn't throw so stupid."
