Cubs surprising demotion

Found March 26, 2008 on My Sports Rumors: Yardbarker Blogger Network
The Chicago Cubs finalized their roster today, with a surprising demotion. First, Ronny Cedeno beat out Alex Cintron for the back-up shortstop job. Second, Mike Fontenot beat out Matt Murton for the final outfield spot. Murton is a surprise to myself as he was in constant trade talk with the Texas Rangers and was just an all out solid player for last years NL Central division winners. Lets look at both of these spring battles and why each made the team.
