Early news says that we've made another move.. This time going outside the organization.
RP Luis Vizcaino, who was released by the Cubs earlier this year, has been signed.
Vizcaino has pitched 11 years in the big leagues, most recently for Colorado, New York, Chicago, and Arizona, all on one year stints. He's well traveled but he had some relative success in Milwaukee, especially in 2002 when he went 5-3 with a 2.99 ERA, 5 saves, and 79 strikeouts in 81 innings pitched.
He's 34 and started the year with Chicago, pitching four games and not giving up a run. He was traded in the offseason by Colorado to Chicago for starter Jason Marquis.
Vizcaino will take Chulk's spot on the 40-man roster, but it isn't known at this point if he'll go right to Cleveland or make a stop in Columbus to knock off the rust. I'd probably want to go with the last option on that though.
If that doesn't happen, Matt Herges' stay could be a quick one, or Jensen Lewis might get sent down. I'd think Lewis would go down before they waste the Herges bullet before not even testing it out.
