It's disappointing that this is the best German could do. The Cubs should already have a full bench with Aaron Miles, Reed Johnson, Joey Gathright, Micah Hoffpauir and Paul Bako. It'd make a lot of sense to bump Gathright and go with German and his superior ability to get on base, but we doubt it will happen.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well there's the utility player.
