2011 Spring Training Non-Roster Invitee List Expands

2011 Spring Training Non-Roster Invitee List Expands

By Brett on December 16, 2010

The Chicago Cubs’ non-roster invitee list has grown a bit since last check, and there are a couple more guys who will be vying for a bench or bullpen spot on the 2011 team. The Cubs have added first baseman Bryan LaHair and outfielder Brad Snyder to the list of non-roster invitees for Spring Training. [...]

Blake Parker and Bobby Scales Removed from 40-Man Roster

Blake Parker and Bobby Scales Removed from 40-Man Roster

By Brett on October 15, 2010

Some minor transactional news, as the Chicago Cubs have removed utility player Bobby Scales and reliever Blake Parker from their 40-man roster (which now stands at 38). There are likely to be additional moves like this as the offseason proceeds and the Cubs need to clear spots for acquisitions (well, hopefully). They’ll also need to [...]

God’s Wrath Watch: Aramis Ramirez Still Out

God’s Wrath Watch: Aramis Ramirez Still Out

By Brett on September 8, 2010

Aramis Ramirez went down this weekend with a slightly strained right quad, but the injury was not expected to keep him out for long. Here, three days later, and Ramirez is still out. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez did not start for the second straight game because of a sore right quad. He continued to get [...]

Chicago Cubs Make Five September Call-Ups

Chicago Cubs Make Five September Call-Ups

By Brett on September 8, 2010

Yesterday, with the AAA Iowa Cubs bowing out of the Pacific Coast League playoff race (on the last day of the regular season – ouch), the Chicago Cubs called up five players from the Iowa club to join them for the rest of the season. The most notable call-up is pitcher Jeff Samardzija, who returns [...]

Spring Training Bench Battle: Piniella Confirms There Are Just Two Open Spots

Spring Training Bench Battle: Piniella Confirms There Are Just Two Open Spots

By Brett on February 28, 2010

We’ve speculated for a few weeks now that when Spring Training rolled around, there were really only going to be two spots available to be won on the Chicago Cubs’ five-man bench, after Koyie Hill, Xavier Nady, and one of Mike Fontenot and Jeff Baker claimed the first three. And now, manager Lou Piniella has [...]

Chicago Cubs’ Non-Roster Invitations to Spring Training Have Gone Out

Chicago Cubs’ Non-Roster Invitations to Spring Training Have Gone Out

By Brett on January 14, 2010

The Chicago Cubs have finalized their non-roster (i.e., not on the 40-man roster) invitee list for this year’s Spring Training. The list is an even mix of career minor leaguers who are getting a shot, and Cubs prospects who are, well, getting the same. Pitchers: [Andrew] Cashner, J.R. Mathes, James Russell, Casey Coleman, Thomas Diamond, [...]

Bobby Scales to Iowa

Bobby Scales to Iowa

By Brett on October 24, 2009

I know what you’re thinking: why are the Cubs making organizational moves in the offseason? What does it mean to send Bobby Scales to AAA Iowa, when, like, nobody is playing? Well, the important thing is that the move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster – which now stands at 38. That means [...]
