Cashner named 5th starter... Silva on his way out...

- The Cubs named Andrew Cashner their 5th starter. I am so happy with management deciding to go with the person that earned his spot rather than the person with the most money on this contract.

- Jim Hendry told Silva they will try to trade him but asked him if the would report to AAA. Silva said there is no way he is going to AAA so if he refuses then he will be released and the Cubs will have to pay 11.5 million of this 2011 contract while the M's would pay this 2 million dollar buyout. They better hope they find a taker.

- Braden Looper announced his retirement.

- Casey Coleman and Jeff Stevens were sent to AAA Iowa.

- A surprise to me but Mateo made the big league club.

- The Cubs can make another good move by naming Castillo the backup to Soto and cut Hill.

Until Next Time...
