What was the Cubs rationale for not picking up Lugo?
Julio has come out of the gate swinging for the Cardinals. The guy has 3 triples in 10 games and has scored 8 runs. His BA as a Cardinal is 372 and OBP of 378.
When Theriot was hit last night I was concerned that we were about to get a taste of Soriano at second base. Tonight we are supposed to get the return of Aaron Miles. I don't know which is worse.
At the time, Boston fans were saying that he is washed up. Some Cub fans were saying that with Blanco and Scales, there was no need to think about Lugo as he would take bats away from watching these guys develop/produce.
Yeah, the Cardinals traded Chris Duncan and cash for him but it's not like the Cubs are doing much with at least one of either Micah Hoffpauir and/or Jake Fox on the bench.
Well, Bleacher Nation figured it out. The Cards made a deal with Lucifer and are set for now. I'm hoping payment for the deal comes due very soon.
