I'm surprised the Cubs would go with Gaithright over Pie. Can someone explain to me what Joey G brings to the table that Pie doesn't have the potential to do? Neither are great hitters - both are fast. Neither gets great reads, both cover ground. Neither have much power, both can hit the gap.

After investing so much in developing Pie, I'm surprised they gave up on him now - even moreso that they did it and put Joey G in his spot.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hitting the gap, pie, g-spot? I just couldn't read that post without giggling like a junior high girl.
Seriously though, I think Hendry did the right thing here. He learned from the Corey Patterson experiment. Even if Joey doesn't do much, it can't be worse than Pie.

He learned to wait too long on a guy before selling? Oh wait.
