OH BOY

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.
