Aaron Miles of Facials SPLOOOGE Thread

[PenFoe]

The Sox won't know what they hit them.  The Cubs add Bobby Scales and Ryan Freel within a 24 hour span?  Hot damn!

I don't understand why anyone would want to tease such information if it wasn't true.

Does anyone have a photoshop of Huey and Aaron Miles in a hotel room? If not, we need one.

If the acquisition of this shitty utility guy means we're done with Miles, I'm all for it.

The Chicago Cubs have acquired Jeff Baker(notes) from the Colorado Rockies, according to a source close to the club.

It is unclear who the Rockies will receive in return for Baker or the Cubs' plans for him.

Baker, an infielder, went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 27 and was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 24. He began a minor league rehab assignment June 19.

Projected headline: Cubs add near-30s utility player, still stoppable

I read it as Jeff Blauser the first time.  I almost passed out.  Then I realized it was Baker and really didn't feel that much better about it.

At least I'd finish the job, unlike the hostage-taker who let Miles get away.

Nope.

The Cubs will designate Ryan Freel for assignment when their trade for Rockies infielder Jeff Baker becomes official.

Baker does have a career .902 OPS against lefties, for what it's worth.

Well, for that 3 game set in Colorado, Jeff Baker is going to crush Aaron Cook.

Miles is unfortunately still on the team, but in other shitty Cub news, Farney to KC as the carousel of Baltimore-KC-Cubs suck continues.

The Cubs today traded infielder Ryan Freel to the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named. Freel was designated for assignment on July 2. The Cubs got him from Baltimore for outfielder Joey Gathright on May 8.
