In an attempt to re-stock the farm with serviceable arms that could possibly be traded down the road, the Cubs will claim any one with a pulse and an ERA under 5. And the pulse is negotiable.

“The ERA under 5” bit is a myth. Just so long as they can move their arm in a manner consistent with that of a professional pitcher, they’re probably getting picked up.

When asked for comment, Cubs pitching coach Chris Bosio could only muster “Ermahgerd. Meh fervrite Berken.”

Not too long ago the O’s fans were whining about all the ex-Cubs they were collecting. Now, it’s the Cubs collecting ex-Orioles. Who imagined a year ago that the Orioles would be shedding players from their 40-man roster that other teams would want?

And once again, the Cubs claim a player I have never heard of before! Fantasticm, 2013 is our year!
