Cubs prospects to the DL

[bird watcher]

Rich Hill and Felix Pie have both been placed on the disabled list.

Left handed-pitcher Hill was placed on the disabled list retroactive to June 22 with a left hamstring strain. Outfielder Pie was placed on the disabled list June 24 with a left thumb sprain.

Hill had a 2-4 record in seven games this season with Iowa. He posted a 5.88 ERA since being sent down from Chicago.

In 36 games with Iowa this season, Pie has posted a .222 average (30-for-135). Pie has recorded four homers, nine doubles and a triple in triple-A this year.

This has got to hurt their chances of acquiring some help before the deadline. Those two were untouchable anyway, I forgot.

Rich Hill, the world's oldest living prospect. Twenty eight years old and a 5.88 ERA in AAA. Remember how he was "just as good as Erik Bedard" last winter? :rofl:

Can you imagine the riots if we'd traded Brian Roberts straight up for him as some O's fans suggested?! :eektf:

And Pie, the untouchable one. Unfortunately the baseballs heard that and decided to stop touching his bat! :mwahaha:

I'd still like to get Pie in a deal.

Where would you play him? Markakis, Jones and Scott look pretty good.

He'd be our starting CF in Norfolk :wedge:
