FELIX PIE.. injury????

ok. ill be the one who starts this...  lets all be honest here and show hands on who was wishing that Felix Pie was hurt enough to be put on the DL for awhile and force jim hendry to make a move for another centerfielder or bring up Tyler Colvin..

i will admit.. i was guilty of that.. sorry pie fans but i just dont think this kid has the IT factor to be a solid major league ball player..  the only thing he does good is play defense.. maybe in a few years but this chicago Cubs team is not rebuilding and waiting, this team is ready to win now and to have to pamper pie along while their trying to win a pennant is not going to work..

OHHH ronny you always have to put a damper on things...lol...

maybe just a sprained toe that wouldve lingered for weeks or months but he still could work on his hitting but not able to run..lol

I agree Ronny.  Felix Pie has looked a lot better since doing some extra work with the hitting coach from the minors.  Lou has spent a lot of time and effort on the kid; he WON"T be traded.

Pie is walking more and getting more hits.  Maybe he is starting to turn things around.

Holy Cow!  Bring-up Colvin!  C'mon, what are we talking about here?

Colvin is hitting .240 in AA with 7 walks and 25 strikeouts in 25 games (96 ABs).  What right minded person thinks Colvin is ready for Chicago?  Plus, (as if there needs to be another reason), Colvin isn't even on the 40-man.  To add Colvin to the 40-man, somebody else would need to be waived.

Then somebody called for Juan Pierre.  Juan Pierre!  Is that a joke?  Hasn't Chicago tried that experiment before?  The Cubs gave up too much in pitching prospects for Juan Pierre the first time around, now he's overpaid too.
