Good luck w/ that one, guys. Ryan has a 7.57 FIP this year, and a .76 K/BB. Yuck.

Can he even be a good LOOGY at this point?

Only if he regains his velocity

Otherwise, no, he’s behind Casey Fossum.

Low risk, (relatively) high reward signing for Cubs.

He’s going to start out rehabbing in Mesa then move on to Triple A Iowa for some games. He’s not going to make or break the bullpen, but we’re hoping he’ll be a pleasant late-season surprise.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

I remember

I wasted a higher draft pick for him this year in my friends fantasy draft, not he is AAA. Fine and Dandy
