Reed out a month w/ broken foot.

[Coach]

I would take Fuld over Reed any day, except against LHP.

so basically you are saying you prefer Reed since recently the only playing time he got was against LHers. Now I wondering if Fuk is now going to play full time instead of platoon. My guess is Fuld doesn't get too many starts.

Yep, I like Fuld but not replacing what Reed provides.

Cubs Eyeing Teahen, Hermida
By Tim Dierkes [July 30 at 9:02am CST]

The Cubs are looking for a left-handed hitter who can play right field, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. While they're not optimistic about a deal, the plan would be to create a platoon with the disappointing Milton Bradley. Wittenmyer says the Cubs have about $2-3MM of payroll room to work with.

Two players on the radar: Mark Teahen of the Royals and Jeremy Hermida of the Marlins. The Royals are looking for a center fielder in return, however. Teahen has $1.37MM left on his contract. Hermida has $847K remaining. Both players can be under team control through 2011. Either player would still leave some wiggle room for the Cubs to acquire a left-handed reliever.

I just think that saying that Fuld had been better than Reed this season is weird. How many plate appearances have both of them had?

[ruby23]

Fuld is not good.

The Cubs don't need another RFer, they already have four of them (Bradley, Fuk, Hoffpauir, Fox). If they're adding an OFer, it needs to be a guy that can play CF along with playing a corner spot.

19 AB isn't shit. That's my point.

I am fully aware of what your point is, I'm just saying that Reed has not been very good this year and is not that huge a loss.

Fuld can't do this against lefties (aka Reed's value to the team):
.306/.386/.452/.838

Historically (and this season), Reed is a LHP killer. He lives to pound the shit out of lefties.
