Cuts...Notes...

The Cubs optioned Jake Fox, Sam Fuld, and Jose Ascanio in the latest round of roster cuts on Tuesday morning and and re-assigned Jason Waddell and Bobby Scales to minor league camp.

  • Rich Harden could be skipped the first time around, so Marshall would be placed in the 4th spot and start the first few weeks (instead of being skipped.)
  • Paul Bako is back in back-up catchers role discussion.
  • Kosuke Fukudome should be back in camp Wednesday and will have an appearance in Thursday nights game in Scottsdale vs. the Giants.
  • Micah Hoffpauir also has a role in "My Boys."
  • Lou Piniella says all roster decisions will be made before the team goes to New York for the two games against the Yankees, April 3-4.
  • Ted Lilly threw a simulated game on the backfield at 8:30 a.m., and will be slotted into the rotation to follow Ryan Dempster. Rich Harden is on track to start in a Minor League game Wednesday at Fitch Park.
I'd like to congratulate Team Japan and Kosuke Fukudome for winning the World Baseball Classic.

    The Cubs first round pick at number 6 of 2003 Ryan Harvey was released today. In the same draft the number 7 overall pick was Nick Markasis. Man doesnt that hurt.
