The Curious Case of Cardenas

Via Cub Reporter  |  February 06, 2012
The Cubs claimed infielder Adrian Cardenas off waivers today from the Oakland A's, where he was outrighted to make room for Johnny Gomes. To make room on the 40-man, the Cubs DFA'd Blake DeWitt. Before we get to Cardenas, if I'm reading this correctly, the Cubs most likely cost themselves up to $1.1M? I believe they're on the hook for DeWitt's salary, when they...

The Chicago Cubs continued their efforts to makeover their roster by claiming Adrian Cardenas from the Oakland A's and designating Blake DeWitt for assignment. Cardenas, who ranked as high as #74 on Baseball America's 2009 Top 100 prospect list, is no longer considered a top prospect. However, at age 24, he still has some upside and is a career .303/.368/.413 hitter...

The Oakland A’s Extend Billy Beane Through 2019

Via Rant Sports  |  February 07, 2012
Can someone please explain to me what Billy Beane has done to deserve such a lengthy extension? I’m sorry, but Billy Beane has NEVER won a thing, and is consistently rebuilding. Does he really get a pass because of money ball? That’s just insane. It’s about results, and every other GM that hasn’t won in forever would have fired years ago. It’s been announced...

Cubs DFA DeWitt, claim Cardenas

Via The Outside Corner  |  February 06, 2012
The Chicago Cubs essentially swapped out utilitymen today by claiming former Oakland Athletics minor leaguer Adrian Cardenas, and designating Blake DeWitt for assignment. DeWitt was actually a former top Dodgers prospect, OPSing .728 in his rookie year of 2008 while starting at third base.
