Joe Mauer is now on the DL for a while. It's really too bad
Kevin Slowey ended up getting hurt for them...now the Cubs could
offer catching (Hill or Ramirez) and middle infield (DeWitt)
depth for him.

The new bats (BBCOR) are dead.
Dead, dead, dead...

In addition to going on the DL for his leg problems, Mauer spent
the night in a Minneapolis hospital with the flu.

With his previous kidney problems, I'm a little worried about
Joe Mauer's health.
Bi-lateral leg weakness sounds kinda serious, like a nerve
problem.
But I'm no dentist.

Chris Welch, on tonight's Reds telecast, said that Aroldis
Chapman is experiencing "a little elbow tenderness."
Which, I believe was a top 40 hit for ABC in the 80s.
That's a little more specific information than I've seen before.
Yesterday, Dusty Baker was quoted on MLBN's bottom line as
saying Chapman had "arm inflammation."

<i>Brandon Guyer, the other OF the Rays got from the Cubs in the
Matt Garza trade (in addition to Fuld), was batting .370 through
seven games at Triple-A Durham.

I wonder if the Cubs ever talked to the Rays about a package
that included Colvin instead of Guyer. If they'd done that,
then you'd think they may have been able to keep Lee and send a
lesser middle infielder instead.

<i>Fuld's play has made him topical, but he already was a pretty
interesting topic of conversation. Consider: He has Type 1
diabetes (and has to give himself 4-5 shots a day), is one of
the few Jewish big-leaguers, grew up carrying around a stats
book as his "security blanket," began playing baseball with his
grandmother, attended the highbrow Exeter Academy (at the same
time as Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook), earned an
economics degree in four years from Stanford (with a 3.15 GPA)
and spent an offseason interning at Stats Inc. His mother,
Amanda Merrill, is a New Hampshire state senator, and his
father, Kenneth, is dean of the College of Liberal Arts and a
psychology professor at the University of New Hampshire.

I like ballplayers who can do more than pitch or hit. Girardi,
Glanville, and Fuld were among my favorite Cubs.
If Fernando Perez can get his baseball act together at Iowa,
he'd be on that list.
