As we talked about over the weekend, the Chicago Cubs received very strong contributions from their young arms this year. It’s been a near constant stream of guys shuffling back and forth between Iowa and Chicago – and, for the most part, it’s gone pretty well.
Guys like Randy Rosario have really come into their own so far this year. But come crunch time, I’m not sure I want to hand the ball to guys with less than a year of big league experience. And with pretty much everyone in the world illogically soured on Justin Wilson, another shutdown left-hander could make a lot of sense.
