[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1471441, member: 26283"] It’s bizarre to me that a guy who had been such an integral part of the team the last three years couldn’t seem to find a place on this year’s team. He got hurt early and then Maddon couldn’t seem to figure out what to do with him when he got back despite having some injured starters and a paper thin bullpen. He’s got two more years of team control, a career 3.72 ERA while averaging 100 IP a year and had been the consummate professional while with the Cubs, filling whatever role they’ve asked him to. Seems like he should have brought back more than a backup catcher on an expiring contract. [/QUOTE]
