November 10, 2008 The News Journal reports that the Phillies have re-signed relief pitcher Scott Eyre to a one-year, $2 million deal. Our View:Eyre, 36, went 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in 19 appearances after coming over August 7 in a trade with the Cubs and gave the Phillies a strong second lefty reliever in front of J.C. Romero. |
|
August 29, 2008 Scott Eyre has performed better than expected for the Phillies since they acquired him from the Cubs. Eyre has made seven scoreless appearances for the Phills, according to Philly.com. Our View:Eyre has performed well out of the pen but has no real fantasy value. |
|
August 7, 2008 The Phillies have claimed reliever Scott Eyre, who has been designated for assignment earlier in the week by the Cubs, according to the AP. The Phillies sent right-hander Brian Schlitter to Chicago in the trade between NL division leaders. Our View:Eyre nailed down two wins with the Cubs, but allowed nine earned runs, four walks, and 15 hits over 11.1 innings. Eyre should only be considered in deeper NL-only leagues that use middle men. |
|
August 5, 2008 The Cubs designated LHP Scott Eyre for assignment to make room for the returning Kerry Wood, according to PA Sports Ticker. Our View:The reliever has gone 2-0 with an abysmal 7.15 ERA in 11.1 innings pitched. |
|
July 31, 2008 Both the Yankees and the Red Sox are talking to the Cubs about acquiring Scott Eyre, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark. Our View:Eyre has really struggled over the last year and a half for the Cubbies. The Yanks and Sox are looking for more substantial bullpen help in addition to Eyre. |
|
July 28, 2008 ESPN.com reports that the Cubs are shopping LHP Scott Eyre to AL teams. They currently have three lefties in their bullpen. Our View:Eyre has been very average this offseason, but its likely he could draw some interest as he could fill a needed role for a contender. |
|
July 23, 2008 Scott Eyre was activated from the DL on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. The team also optioned Micah Hoffpauir and Kevin Hart to make room for Eyre and Alfonso Soriano. Our View:Eyre has been on the DL since June 28th due to a strained left groin. With Kerry Wood ailing, Eyre could be a nice addition the Cubs pen, though he certainly isn't a fantasy worthy option at this point. |
|
July 19, 2008 LHP Scott Eyre threw for pitching coach Larry Rothschild Friday and will do another bullpen session today. He recently completed a rehab assignment and could join the Cubs bullpen shortly, according to the Daily Herald. Our View:The lefty would be welcomed in their bullpen and could be in line for a number of one-out holds as a specialist. |
|
July 18, 2008 Left-handed hurler Scott Eyre is ready to return from his minor league rehab stint following his battle with a strained left groin, according to the Chicago Tribune. Our View:Eyre was a decent reliever for the Cubs this season, as he went 2-0 with six earned runs allowed over 11 innings, with 14 strikeouts. He only holds fantasy value in deeper NL-only leagues. |
|
June 28, 2008 The Cubbies had hoped to avoid the need to rest him for a prolonged period of time, but reliever Scott Eyre has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Eyre has gone 2-0 with a 4.91 earned-run average in 8 relief appearances for Chicago this season. To replace Eyre on the roster, the Cubs have called up pitcher Jose Ascanio, who will be available for Saturday's game against the White Sox, from Triple-A Iowa. |
|
June 26, 2008 Scott Eyre left Thursday's game after being forced out of action with a strained left groin, according to MLB.com. The team hopes he can avoid the DL. Our View:Eyre has already spent time on the DL due to bone spur in his left elbow which has limited him to just 11 innings this season. He has little value even in NL Only leagues as he is clearly not in line for any type of significant role in the Cubs bullpen. |
|
May 9, 2008 Scott Eyre has been activated from the 15-day DL, according to the Sports Network. To make room, they also optioned lefty Sean Marshall to Triple-A Iowa. Our View:Eyre will fight for playing time out of the Cubs' crowded pen and holds little to no fantasy value, especially since he held a poor 1.80 WHIP over 52.1 innings in 2007. This is his third season with the Cubs. |
|
May 9, 2008 Scott Eyre remains on pace to be activated from the DL before Saturday's game against the D-Backs, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He is recovering from left elbow inflammation. Our View:Eyre will fight for playing time out of the Cubs' crowded pen and holds little to no fantasy value, especially since he held a poor 1.80 WHIP over 52.1 innings in 2007. |
|
May 7, 2008 Scott Eyre will throw tonight in Tennessee in his final rehab outing in the minors, then report to the Cubs in time to be activated before Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field, notes the Chicago Tribune. General manager Jim Hendry said the Cubs won't go with 13 pitchers when Eyre returns, as Lou Piniella talked about previously, so one of the relievers will have to go down to Triple-A Iowa. Our View:Sean Gallagher may be the odd man out because he's the least experienced reliever and the Cubs still consider him a starter in the making. |
|
May 4, 2008 Scott Eyre had his rehab moved to Double-A, according to CBSsports. He is recovering from left elbow inflammation. Our View:He holds little fantasy value as a middle-reliever in a talented and crowded Cubs' bullpen. |
|
April 18, 2008 Scott Eyre will throw off a mound on Friday and Monday, MLB.com reports. He is coming back from left elbow inflammation and may be able to start a rehab assignment soon. Our View:With the way that Sean Marshall is pitching out of the bullpen, the Cubs don't have to rush Eyre back. |
|
April 16, 2008 Scott Eyre is expected to throw a simulated game today, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He threw a second bullpen session on Monday in his rehab schedule, and fared well. He could be scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment by the end of the week, as he continues to recover from elbow inflammation. Our View:His fantasy value remains limited, especially in a crowded Cubs' pen. |
|
April 4, 2008 Scott Eyre has yet to begin throwing off a mound and isn't on the verge of returning, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Eyre is on DL due to left elbow inflammation. We imagine some mound work and a short rehab stint will be in order before the southpaw joins the big club. |
|
March 29, 2008 Scott Eyre is feeling better and could be ready to pitch about a week into the season, according to Chicago Sun-Times. Eyre's on the disabled list due to a sore elbow but will be eligible to return soon after the season kicks off. |
|
March 27, 2008 Scott Eyre won't undergo surgery for his sore elbow but the Cubs did place the left-hander on the disabled list Thursday, retroactive to March 23. Eyre's fantasy value rests in deep NL-only formats. |
|
March 25, 2008 Scott Eyre won't undergo surgery, according to the Chicago Tribune. Eyre had a cortisone shot in his left elbow on Monday to alleviate the soreness, but he isn't worried about the prospect of having surgery. He stated, "I've had a bone spur in there for a couple of years. Now it's just getting worse. They put some cortisone in there to calm the inflammation down and see if I could pitch without some pain for a while. It'd be nice. There's nothing wrong with my ligament or the nerve in there. No season–ending surgery or anything like that in the works. It's just a bone spur in the back and it's biting back right now." The Cubs wont pitch Eyre again this spring with only five exhibition games remaining, which would allow them to backdate him on the disabled list. He was battling for a bullpen spot. |
