Theriot's Arbitration hearing and Lilly's Knee update:

Ryan Theriot's arbitration hearing occurred in Florida this morning.

We will not likely hear anything at a decision until tomorrow.

It will be good to have this done and out of the way.

I will be very curious as to how this turns out.

So far this year, owners have won 3 cases, the players, 2.

This, I believe, is the last remaining case out there.


On to Ted Lilly.  This knee is ok. The MRI reveal only normal wear and tear. The season is saved.  And Lilly is already back throwing.

Hallelujah!

One last note on Theriot and the arbitration case...

If the Cubs win the case, they will have about $1 million extra to spend...look for them to move forward on getting another right handed relief pitcher into camp.
