Henry Blanco
Blanco shows what being a teammate is all about by mentoring Soto

Submitted by cubsnet on Fri, 2007-06-01 10:56.Henry Blanco has a cervical herniated disc and the Cubs have placed him on the 15-day disabled list. They have called up Koyie Hill to take his place on the roster, which is interesting because Hill was not on the 40-man roster while Geovany Soto is. Also, Soto is having his best year at the plate, hitting .319/.383/.504. Hill is hitting .304/.346/.448. Hill has a lifetime OPS 20% below league average in 132 big league plate appearances. I'd love to know the explanation for bypassing Soto.

Cubs Re-Sign Henry Blanco to Two-Year Deal
Submitted by cubsnet on Wed, 2006-11-15 13:14.
"The
Chicago Cubs agreed to a two-year contract
Wednesday with backup catcher Henry
Blanco," reports
the AP. "There is a mutual option for 2009." The AP
doesn't give financial details, but Arizona
Phil at The Cub Reporter writes that ESPN 1000's Bruce
Levine is reporting the deal is worth $5M. As I've repeatedly said
before, Jim Hendry doesn't overpay for his stars. He overpays for
utility players and relief pitchers.The Cubs clearly have little confidence in the future development of either Geovany Soto or Jose Reyes, which makes you wonder if the Cubs will remove one of them from the 40-man roster and expose them to the Rule 5 draft.
