I am waiting for the obligatory "I like this signing" post.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't like this signing.

Unless they hate good pitching.

Stew, would it help if I said that Wesley Wright has a 123 ERA+ over the past 3 seasons?

Yeah, but he went 2-6 so he's garbage.

Um.  Guys?   in 3 seasons he appeared in 168 games, but only 118 innings.  So mostly he was called in to pitch against a lefty and then taken out.  Yet in those 118 innings he gave up 105 hits and 45 walks.  His managers clearly had a lot of confidence in him.

Which is the very definition of LOOGY. That's what he's going to do for the Cubs.

Those numbers are pretty good, Stew.

Are you doing a bit?

I think he's doing a bit and he has a few people going. I'm not buying it anymore but I'd like to see how far he can go with it.
