Thunder Matt Hostage Crisis Continues
Written by wrigleyville   
Thursday, 17 April 2008
Seems as though bunny-hops in the outfield are tricky business. Yesterday, the Cubs had the opportunity to bring up Thunder Matt Murton from Iowa to take Soriano's place in the lineup. As of this morning, Murton is hitting .333/.333/.458 with an 8/4 BB/K ratio. Granted, he's been all singles so far and only has 2 RBI in 12 games, but you and I know that he'll do more than that eventually. Well, conventional wisdom would be to call him up? Right? Riiiiiight? The last thing this Cubs braintrust (I'm looking at you, Hendry) is known for is conventional wisdom. Instead of replacing a bonafide hitter in LF with another bonafide hitter who plays LF, the Cubs call up K-Strut's little bro. I don't have much against Eric Patterson, but we all know that he'll just rot on the bench until Hendry either realizes the err of his ways and calls Murton up or until Soriano returns. In the meantime, Mike Fontenot will get the majority of the playing time at 2B with DeRosa moving to LF. Normally, this LSU-swollen lineup would really get my gears going. But, it's just senseless to continue to ruin a good player's career in AAA when this was the ideal time to bring him up, and at the very least, showcase him for a trade to somebody who wants him. Shame on you, Jim Hendry. You, sir, are a gingerist.
