With signing of Jim Edmonds becoming official Thursday, the Cubs sent struggling center fielder Felix Pie to the minor leagues. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 5/16/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Pie has been a bust of a prospect, but he remains a potential second-half contributor in NL-only leagues if he can find his stroke back in Triple-A. Stash him in those deeper formats and long-term keeper leagues, because he is still young and his talent is too good to stay down forever. (Updated 05/15/2008).
To make room for newcomer Jim Edmonds, the Cubs optioned Pie to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday night. (Updated 05/14/2008)
Advice
Pie was already competing with Reed Johnson for playing time, and the signing of Edmonds likely means that the young Dominican will be spending a lot of time in the minors this season. He was batting .222 with 23 strikeouts in 63 at-bats with Chicago this year.
