Why I Like Jeff Gray
With Esmailin Caridad hitting the 15-day DL, Jeff Gray has been called-up from Iowa (press release). Gray was acquired from Oakland and projected to be part of the Opening Day roster. Unfortunatly, he was slowed by a groin injury in Spring Training. He hasn't worked back-to-back days yet, but in the course of five days of Iowa he threw on three days, taking the 2nd and 4th off...

Esmailin Caridad PITCHf/x Scouting Report
Rookie reliever Esmailin Cardidad has thrown 225 pitches for the Cubs, so it's now time to dive into his stuff a little more. Caridad has been on the radar screen pretty much since he came over from the Hiroshima Carp, which was after the NPL's 2007 season.
