MATT TOLBERT RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Chicago Cubs week that was and more Cubs stuff

After a crazy Cubs week, full of news and groundbreaking signings like those of Trever Miller and Matt Tolbert combined with another eye-opening list of prospects from BA that no one has ever thought of before, it is hard just to catch one’s breath. Can you sense the sarcasm? Good, because I am laying it on pretty thick. And as I am typing this, word breaks across the wire that...

Tues Funnies. Just...sharing my Cubs angst.

Edgar Gonzalez, Matt Tolbert, and Trever Miller all in the same day? Yeah, it's just the beginning of price-paying for you and me as our favorite team attempts to claw out of their 104 year old hole. Seriously though, everything's gonna work out just fine, right? Just a little angst now and then. I'll deal with it by drawing.

Cubs Sign Rodrigo Lopez, Matt Tolbert To Minor League Deals

With the Cubs pretty much set with most of their roster for the 2012 season, save the couple of players that they are rumored to be willing to trade, what’s left for the Cubs are the depth signings to battle for bench spots and spend most of their time toiling in Triple A. They already signed Alfredo Amezaga to a minor league deal last week, giving them a super utility guy...

37-27: Holy Crap Matt Tolbert Hit a Home Run

(via Fangraphs) Yeah, that really happened.  Matt Tolbert’s only hit of the game was a solo shot that put the game on ice.  Actually, the offense had little trouble scoring runs tonight, which is a nice change from, oh, every game over the past month or so.  The worst hitters in the American League were a combined 5-9 with three walks between them. Unfortunately, pretty...

Felix Is Good: 31-23

So Matt Tolbert hit 2nd. Fortunately it didn’t matter. Danny Rams had 2 homers for Beloit tonight if that cheers you up. Best hitter: Justin Morneau (+.049) Worst hitter: Matt Tolbert (-.065) Best pitcher: Jesse Crain (+.005) Worst: Luigi (-.254) Most important play: Lopez homer (-.215) Holy **** that was depressing.

Love Of Inept Utility Infielders Needs To End

Originally posted at BleacherReport.com Everybody loves a hard worker. Just ask Twins’ manager Ron Gardenhire. He is known around Twins’ Territory as one who adores players who bust their tails, even though the results may not be there. Perhaps this is the reason Matt Tolbert still finds himself in the batting lineup every day? Being brutally honest, Tolbert is not [...]
