Don’t mess with the Pie System

The San Diego Padres, the worst team in the major leagues, released Jim Edmonds this past week. He had been hitting .178 and is chronically creaky.
But, according to the Chicago Tribune’s Dave van Dyck, the Cubs may be interested in bringing the former Angels and Cardinals CF in to add left-handed pop to the right-handed hitting lineup. It would also allow the Chicago National League Ball Club to send down Felix Pie.
I must be nuts. I’m waiting for Piniella to get Pie in games more than once or twice a week, and here are the Cubs contemplating signing a guy who I wouldn’t put on our Monday morning softball team.
Peek here for Pie’s resume.

This is a stupid move in my opinion. Edmunds defense is below par, he isn’t hitting at all. Do the Cubs think he has more gas in the tank than what he’s been showing in California? I can’t see what he brings to the table at all.
Good work on the blog guys, this is one of my favorite Cubs blogs to visit. I read it almost every day.

The only way I’d be for this move is if a pitcher was sent on his way (that’s you, Chad Fox), bringing the roster to 14 position players and 11 pitchers. Otherwise, it makes no sense.
And thanks for the kind words.
