Cubs to sign OF Gathright - AlexV - 12-15-2008
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Word from WSCR 670 in Chicago is that the Cubs will sign outfielder Joey Gathright. We've heard the same from a source. Gathright, 28 in April, was non-tendered by the Royals on Friday.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Who the hell is this guy anyway?

He's the fastest guy in baseball and is great at jumping over cars. Besides that, he sucks.

Goodbye, Pie.

I just read this too. Cub fans have been clamoring for him for a long time for some odd reason. He could make a decent 5th outfielder....possibly.

I was about to post this, I was looking him up and found his car-jumping video.
Well, at least the guy has a talent.

What ever will the Cubs do with Pie? I guess this sets up a possible competition between the outfielder the Cubs picked up from Cleveland and Gathright for a roster spot.

I do too. Maybe he could be our Dave Roberts. We need more speed.

I like it if it's a Minor League deal.
