Luis Vizcaino

He was just realeased from the Cubs. He had a crappy ERA last year but he did pitch in coors and he DID have an impressive 9.6 K/9 mark. He has been pretty solid throughout his career and our bullpen could use a shakeup. He has decent upside. Why not take a flier on him?

If he was released by his club during a given contract, they have to pay his salary minus league minimum.

cubbies

are on the hook for the remainder of his salary…

sign him for league min? sounds good to me.

And for what it's worth

he pitched 3.2 scoreless innings with a WHIP of about .540 for the Cubs. He was released to make room for Jeff Samardjiza (or however the F you spell his name).

Fanshots are good

Fanshot: For when you don’t have 75 words to share.

Also: Don’t we have last crack at him, having had the best record last year? I say pick him up if we get the chance. Release Bulger.

Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

I was wondering what the difference between a fanshot and a fanpost was.

My bad. Thanks for the heads up.

release bulger?

are you high man?

Yeah he hasnt had the greatest year so far…..but the guy has awesome stuff……I’d release PALMER before Bulger.

i agree

about Bulger. this guy has wicked stuff, he just needs to put it together. that type of potential you can’t just give up on. i know that people say hes already in his 30’s and past that potential stuff, but i think he had some kind of injury that set him back like 2 years. so i say stick with him and see it through

I shreiked in pain when he trotted to the mound last night

with the bases loaded (people around me looked at me like I was crazy, as evidently, they didn’t see the two grand slams Bulger gave up like a week ago).

But, he did minimize the damage. Hopefully, he is working through something right now like most of the bullpen is and is starting to figure it out.

In a year of such turmoil, whining still abounds.
