Cubs Call Up Grieve
Submitted by cubsnet on Tue, 2005-09-13 20:27.
The Cubs called up Ben Grieve from Iowa today, reports MLB.com. Grieve hit .266/.371/.481 in 293 at-bats and 48 walks for Iowa this year. In two very brief stints with the big league club this year (14 at-bats and 5 walks), Grieve hit .357/.526/.357. "'I just assumed my season was over,' Grieve said." Why didn't the Cubs make this move a week ago when Iowa's season ended?
