Who's leading the pack? And who will wind up in the pen? This story and others in today's "In the News." To read the rest of the post, be sure to visit us at www.viewfromthebleachers.com

Xavier Nady May Finally Play on Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Xavier Nady is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery last year, and was expected to be ready to do some DH’ing this past weekend. The throwing program he’s on, however, wore him down, and he wasn’t ready to risk jacking up his arm at the plate. By Thursday, the Cubs [...] Related posts:Xavier Nady Still Not Ready to, You Know, Play Chicago Cubs outfielder Xavier Nady, recovering from his second career...Xavier Nady Passes Physical, But Might Not Be Ready fo

BCB 2010 Community Projections: Starting Position Players

Ben Margot - AP This photo is from last September. You can see how much thinner Geovany Soto is this year. View full size photo » Thanks to everyone who submitted projections in the community projection series. For the starting eight position players, we had anywhere from 52 projections (Marlon Byrd) to 98 (Derrek Lee). There were enough to make the overall projections legitimate ones, and I don't th

Chicago Cubs Reliever Rumors

In the wake of Angel Guzman’s shoulder issues, the Chicago Cubs are being attached to a number of reliever rumors. Some are nothing new - the Cubs are still interested in Luke Gregerson from the San Diego Padres or Jason Frasor from the Blue Jays - but some are brand new. The Cubs, who currently are [...] Related posts:Chicago Cubs Rumors Out the Wazoo There are so many Chicago Cubs rumors to report in...The Chicago Cubs Are Scouting Pedro Martinez You read that right, folks.

Spring Training Battle Watch: March 8, 2010

The Chicago Cubs beat up on the Oakland A’s yesterday, but what was far more important was the performance of the three guys vying for a spot in the rotation. Jeff Samardzija, Sean Marshall and Tom Gorzelanny all pitched. Samardzija threw two scoreless, but struck out none, and gave up a hit, a walk, and hit [...] Related posts:Spring Training Battle Watch: March 5, 2010 Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs extended their winning streak to two...Spring Training Battle Watch: March 6, 2010 See, I told

Cubs Reliever Rumors Heating Up Again

According to a report from Jerry Crasnick on ESPN.com, the Cubs continue monitoring Jason Frasor of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Cubs have inquired, once again, about Frasor's availability after losing Angel Guzman over the weekend. According to a radio report from Bruce Levine on Monday, the Cubs are continuing to look at Jason Frasor and Luke Gregerson. Levine said the Cubs are pushing hard for both Frasor and Gregerson in hopes of landing one for the backend of the pen.

Cubs pitching staff in melee, but Kerry's not the answer

Carol Slezak: Even before Angel Guzman went down, the Cubs were looking for veteran bullpen help. So it's not surprising that Kerry Wood's name would come up in discussion. Wood remains popular in this town, and the Cleveland Indians reportedly are willing to deal him. So why not make a deal? Because the Cubs aren't about to spend $10.5 million on anyone.

PHOENIX -- A new pitch might be part of lefty Sean Marshall's repertoire this season, a split-finger intended to induce ground balls -- or at least outs.

PHOENIX -- Ryan Dempster couldn't have had a better first day on the mound, breezing through two innings against the Oakland Athletics. But Dempster isn't a question mark in the rotation.

Game Four - Cubs 10 A's 3 WP - Ryan Dempster (1-0) LP - Gio Gonzalez (0-1) Save - None After losing two games on Sunday due to rain, the Cubs got back to action on a cool day in Phoenix ... and beat the A's 10-3 behind a seven-run seventh inning.

Cubs Blast A's Relievers For 7-Run Seventh Inning, Win 10-3

No longballs for our side today -- instead, the Cubs pounded out 12 hits and drew eight walks off nine (!) Athletics pitchers and defeated the A's at Phoenix 10-3, running their spring record to 3-1. That's right, I said NINE pitchers -- the Oakland starter, Brett Anderson, didn't even make the usual two innings that most starters take in their first spring start. A's manager Bob Geren had to yank him with two out in the second inning after he had given up a hit and a pair of walks. He must

With rotation, Cubs deal with fear of the unknown

You can break down the Cubs' starting rotation into two groups: the known and the unknown. What we know at this early date in the Cactus League season is the Cubs have only three starting pitchers assured of jobs: Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster and Randy Wells.

Ted Lilly is Throwing off the Mound

Finally some good news on the player injury front. Chicago Cubs starter Ted Lilly, coming back from offseason shoulder surgery, and delayed by a stomach bug, threw 30 pitches off the mound yesterday.  He’d actually thrown once before off the mound in Mesa, but this time, he threw with “intensity.” Which is awesome. “So far, no bumps [...] Related posts:Actually, Ted Lilly Might Not Start Throwing Until March Updating a previous item, where it was thought that Chicago...Ted Lilly Hurt Now, Too?
