The Cubs made another move today, oh boy.
The Cubs have claimed right-hander Liam Hendriks
off waivers from the Twins, reports La Velle E. Neal III of the
Minneapolis Star Tribune. Hendriks had been designated for assignment
last week to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Phil Hughes.
Oh boy.
What a find.
Hendriks, 24, has had brief appearances for the Twins since 2011:
30 GP, 28 starts
Career stats: 2-13, 6.06 ERA, 1.590 WHIP, and NEGATIVE 3.8 WAR!
Hendriks is Australian, so that may be why his numbers are upside down.
How he fits into the Cubs pitching staff is unclear.
