Hmm… the Cubbies have picked up 2B Tony Womack and have designated him to Iowa.
The Redleg Nation originally didn’t think much of this but commenters on the post beg to differ (on the whole).
I really don’t know what to make of that. Does that mean Womack may be a good fit or does it mean anybody, absolsutely anybody, will help the Cubs at this point?
I’m afraid it might be the latter.
It looks as though the Cubbies are beyond any help Womack might provide, although rumor has it he’ll be called up soon. It’s a real puzzler why the Tribune didn’t pick up a veteran such as Tony Clark or Jeff Conine to fill in for the broken DLee.
