The Phils have claimed Tim Lahey off of waivers. It is really to bad the Cubs could not have kept him but we just did not have room on the 25 man roster. Just ask Matt Murton.
Speaking of Murton, it seems the Cubs will deal the young outfielder before Opening Day. According to League Officials the Cubs have "many teams" that want Murton. I can see teams like the Cards, Rays, Rangers, Padres, Royals, Mets, Phillys, and White Sox all having interest in the redhead. Matt Murton does not belong in AAA, he belongs on a big league roster!

St. Louis placed 6 pitchers on the 15 day DL including Carpenter, Mulder and Clement. Lets hope we stay healthy
I think Murton is going to San Diego and Cubs would want pitching prospects i guess. So here are my 2 guesses both minor league right hand pitchers. Geer last year ERA 3.20 IP 177.1 H 169 BB 28 SO 108 or Inman ERA 3.28 IP 159.1 H 127 BB 58 SO 180. I don't think its possible but LeBlanc a lefty would of been my first choice. ERA 2.95 IP 149.1 H 120 BB 36 SO 145 he's their no. 4 prospect. This is not a rumor just a wild guess.
To San Diego? Maybe the Cubs can trade him for Mark Prior ...
