The Cubs have called up right-handed hitting catcher/outfielder/first baseman Jake Fox. I will update as soon as I know the move which cleared the space for Fox.
UPDATE: Pre and BananaHands are reporting that Bwuce Levine says a deal sending Izturis out of town is almost done.
UPDATE TWO: BananaHands heard Bwuce say that Izturis has been traded to the Pirates for a PTBNL.
That he’s expected to play right could be telling. Might we finally have seen the last of Jock?
Izzy is a Pirate. No word yet on the player we got back.
which I just now see has already been added to the post.
The player to be named should be Jock. Yes, thats right, just take our cast offs free of charge, you REALLY don’t have to thank us.

Can we maybe trade Jock to Japan? I’d settle for a plate of sushi in exchange.
SPLASH!
I feel good about those transactions.
I would just like to say that just yesterday i shout-out-boxed to ask, ominously so, if Izturis was on this team anymore and it turned out to be that i was on to something…yep…
8 Fucking RBIs?
That’s all he had this year? In 65 games?
He only had 52 PAs with RISP. I mean, that’s half as many as Aramis. How do you expect his to drive in runs?
