The Cubs' 2012 first round pick is recovering from a wrist injury, and appears good to go.

Bobby Scales Back to Chicago – That Was Fast
Bobby Scales had to suffer the indignity of a return to Iowa after performing admirably in the bigs. Um. For one day. Scales was called back up after Ryan Freel suffered a strained hamstring and was placed on the DL. Tweet
Remember All Those Roster Moves I Said Would Happen? They Just Did
Not only has Jake Fox been called up from Iowa and Neil Cotts been sent down to AAA, but the Cubs did a whole lot more. Jake Fox, who is hitting .423 with 17 home runs and 50 runs batted in for Triple-A Iowa over 40 games, was called up. Joining the infielder from Iowa [...]
Series Preview: Astros v. Cubs, May 15 – May 17, 2009
Another series against the pitiful Houston Astros. I know, I know. Calling them pitiful is just asking for the Cubs to get swept (and asking the trolls to come out). So, the series preview: the idea is to hook you up with what you need to know about every series this year. That way you [...]
The Cublogoverse Has Another Cub
And you better catch it quick before the author gets demoted. Just kidding. I mean, did you see his homer last night? Bobby Scales is a new blogger on MLB, with perhaps the greatest player-named blog ever: 30 is the new 20. Here’s hoping Bobby keeps up with the entries (last one was a few [...]
Joey Gathright to the O’s for Ryan Freel
Sure enough, Joey Gathright was a goner – out the door to the Baltimore Orioles for utility man Ryan Freel. The Cubs convinced Baltimore to pay around $2.7 million of the remaining $3.3 million on Freel’s contract, while Baltimore will take on the $600,000 or so remaining on Gathright’s contract. General manager Jim Hendry said [...]
Joey Gathright on His Way Out?
AAA Iowa starter Randy Wells is being called up today to take Carlos Zambrano’s spot in the rotation, but the decision on whom to send down to make room had not yet been made. Most (and by most, I mean, I) assumed that Wells would simply replace the guy that was called up when Z [...]
Cubs Place Zambrano on Disabled List, I Place Hot Poker in My Ear
It is barely May, and the Chicago Cubs have already seen Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Milton Bradley, Geovany Soto, and now Carlos Zambrano miss significant time. It’s a g-d miracle this team is above .500. Carlos Zambrano was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. Infielder Bobby Scales was [...]
If Aramis Ramirez Goes on the DL Today, Bobby Scales Will Get the Call
The Chicago Cubs might place Aramis Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf today. Which would suck. But if they do, never fear, because there’s a 31-year old journeyman minor leaguer on the way to replace him: Bobby Scales. Tweet
