Hoffpauir can help us in a myriad of ways at first base and pinch-hitting, but I think if Guzman stays healthy could actually slip onto the playoff roster (you heard it here first). He was a top prospect in baseball for many years before he had some arm problems, and always did pretty well for the Cubs in a starting role. He has nasty stuff and a power arm. His potential is off the charts. If you haven't seen him pitch I recommend you go to the cubs website and look up his 8 k game video on his player profile. I have no idea how his velocity is since his return from surgery, but hopefully he can pitch well in September!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-2249280670823427722008-08-29T09:44:00.000-05:002008-08-29T09:44:00.000-05:00Call the whole list up.

I think Lieber and C.Fox will come off the D.L. now also. 2 others i would like to see brought up are J.FOX (31 HR'S) and Deeds both playing in AA.Nick I Cub Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566720387061284952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-52980814425379312008-08-28T20:24:00.000-05:002008-08-28T20:24:00.000-05:00i don't think scales or torres are on the 40 man r...i don't think scales or torres are on the 40 man roster, so we'd have to put someone on the 60 day DL or release/trade a guy or two...unfortunately, that wont happen unless someone gets really hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
