Rondon is far from a lock. He is sporting a 7.04 ERA post All star game. Uehera is at 7.11. Edwards 5.21

Locks are

Duesing: 1.23 ERA
Montgomery: 2.50
Davis: 2.70
Wilson: 3.27
Strop: 3.93

After that you have to look at sept's results. See who is hot and not.


Now Maples shouldn't be in there. Post Sept 1 call up.

But looking at Duesing and Davis they should be the guys that they should offer contracts to vs worrying about a TOR.

Also Maples was not on the 40 man. That is why they had to release players. Freeman was on it previous. Grimm, and Catrini. To put Maples on the 40 man they had to release players.

Now I wouldn't hang my hat on Maples yet. Yes he is the new hot prospect but he is not tested vs this level. Add to it he has his flaws still. I like him called up so he is a part of this but honestly he is not going to be in high pressure situations at this point. If they had a 4 run lead he might have been pushed into duty. But a 2 run game he sat. So don't expect Joe to put him into those situations until he proves he can get outs first.

FYI
He is eligible, i tweeted the cubs beat writer Jesse Rogers..figured he would know if anyone..

He says he eligible and it didn't matter when he was added to 40..
My guess then is anyone in their system before Sept 1 would be eligible then

Not hanging my hat on him and no doubt he'll be inserted slowly..
But
He the type of reliever that if he successful and has solid clean appearances this month..
He could be an option with his young fresh strong arm in playoffs..

Not saying this will 100% happen with him but I've seen plenty of rookie relievers that came on late in season and added to P.O. roster and had pretty good success there..

So, we'll see

Our bullpen is so unbelievably bad that I think they are going to have no choice but to put a starter in the pen. I don't trust anyone to get to Davis.
