Yep, he gets the call up. He was raking at Iowa in 20 games hitting .368 with a .471 OBP .980 OPS |

I just hope he can pick up where he left off when he gets back. Sucks to see a guy having sustained success for the first time in the bigs have to go on the DL. Even if it's just 15 days, let's hope there are no long term effects.

Remember when the Cardinals could call up any "random Scrub" and they'd excel? Looks like the tables have turned in that regard. So far.

Anyone seen anything on Szczur? He should be off the dl by now.
Hope he can get back soon and pick up where he left off.

If they DFA Fedowritz I'm pretty sure he'll be picked up by somebody immediately. At some point they are going to have to bite the bullet and just let it happen. He's clearly not an everyday starter but he is a good backup catcher and provides good depth in Iowa if they can find a way to get him back there. |

I don't know that they will try & send Fedo down because they probably would lose him.. Maybe. |

He's not an everyday starter but he is a good backup. Again though I don't think they're going to have any choice but to bite the bullet and see what happens at some point |

They have to have a plan in place to replace him if they try to send Feds through waivers. I'm sure they are working on that as we type.

I agree with that but I also think, to a lesser degree, they have a situation just like they did last year with Castillo. Every team knows the position that they are in. Federowitz is valuable to the Cubs because Montero is getting older and a possible dl stint could be in the future again this year. Unless Contreras gets his shot. Then again they were in a bad situation last year when they had a call up schwarber and I think that went pretty well. Well that is until this years injury anyhow. |

I'm sure the Cubs brass are figuring out the market to see if they can squeak him through a crack or not.. |

It's similar in a way, but on a lesser scale. There are types of ways they can find a guy similar to him besides trading for it. There may be guys just hanging around that wouldn't mind being that guy for a team that may be in the playoffs. |
