Roster
Interesting that after cutting Bartosh, Wilson, and now Borowski, the Cubs have three open spaces on the 40-man roster.
RE: Roster
That is interesting. If Garciparra and Williamson return from the 60-day DL at all this year, two of those spots will be taken by them.
RE: Roster
True, although they still have some dead weight; Russ Rohlicek and Ben Grieve are both eminently expendable. Hendry has given himself a lot of flexibility going into trade season; good for him.
So Long Joe
It was great to see him pitch in 2003 where he seemed to have caught lightning in a bottle. He never really struck me as the prototype closer, but his heart made up for his lack of power pitches.
I hope he can latch on to another team and continue to find relief work. I don't fault his effort, just his giving up the HR's, although his last inning against the Sox was fairly decent.
Don't forget -- Borowski was
Don't forget -- Borowski was very good for the Cubs in 2002 as well.
