Cubs Get a B.J.
The Cubs have signed recently released Toronto Blue Jays reliever B.J. Ryan, according to the Chicago Tribune. The article says he'll first report to Mesa and then Triple A Iowa before supposedly joining the Cubs at some point in the 2009 season.
I figured they'd sign him and rush Sean Marshall back into the rotation until Ryan Dempster was back, but it looks...
Lots of questions, so few answers
You’ve probably already heard that Chris Dickerson is still having back spasms. He was scratched from last night’s game. First question this brings to mind is this one:
Why do the Reds insist on carrying 13 pitchers??? Because of this ludicrous insistence on constructing a roster with more pitchers than hitters, the Reds had three — count ‘em, 3 — players available on the...
Jeff Stevens f/x
Part of the Mark DeRosa deal, Jeff Stevens made his Cubs debut shortly before the All Star break. Stevens was covered in the latest edition of New Arms of the Week at Beyond the Box Score.

The Reds' No. 1 draft pick in 2004...
Roundtable: Deadline Deals?
Realistically, what can the Cubs do at the deadline to improve the team?
Wreckard: Realistically, nothing barring injury. There just aren’t enough obvious holes to fill, other than maybe getting a guy like Danys Baez or BJ Ryan to fill out the back of the bullpen.
berselius: Add to the bullpen, and that’s about it. Would be nice to get a 2b, but I don’t think the Cubs...

Lilly moved back to Monday; could he land on disabled list?
