One of the Cubs' unproductive roster spots was freed up today, as shortstop Cesar Izturis (see previous post) packs his bags and heads to the Pirates for the infamous Player to be Named Later.
More a situation of no room in a crowded infield than not giving the Cubs about what they expected, the move allows Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot more playing time in the middle infield. AA catcher Jake Fox got the call to fill Izturis' spot. The Southern League home run leader, Fox adds needed lineup muscle and can also chip in at either corner position in the infield or outfield.
