Cubs Recall Aardsma, Option Ryu to Iowa
Submitted by Brian C on Mon, 2006-05-29 12:36.
Aardsma's pitched well for Iowa, and Michael Wuertz did pitch poorly in his one appearance after being recalled last week. So, the season-long game of Reliever Roulette continues.
Also, the mention of Ryu brings me to yesterday's game ... in case anyone is interested, you have to go back 11 games, to May 17, to find the last eight homers by the Cubs. I just thought I'd point that out.

Wuertz and Aardsma
Wuertz wasn't an option because the Cubs have to wait 10 days before recalling him after optioning him. In any event, I'd rather have Aardsma, given how talented he is and how well he has pitched for Iowa this year. Hopefully he'll fair better this time around with Chicago than he did earlier in the year.

Good point ... I forgot about that rule.
Still, it does seem that these things are happening pretty much at random, with the desperate hope that they find a hot hand.
Hot Hand
True. What's amazing to me, though, is that pretty much everyone they've tried (save Sean Marshall), has stunk. You'd think someone would at least be somewhat decent.
