Cubs HAVE Released the Viz

General manager Jim Hendry tried to be creative with other teams, including the Washington Nationals, and tried to save some money before having to release Vizcaino.

Samardzija

I was in Chicago for the last couple of days. Went to the Cubs game on Thursday, and Samardzija got knocked around. The kid has dynamite stuff, though.

The worst thing about it was that Willy Taveras had 2 hits in the game. Where the hell was that last season?
