Player Notes

May 8, 2009
According to the Baltimore Sun, speedy outfielder Joey Gathright has been traded to the Orioles for Ryan Freel. Gathright will be assigned directly to Triple-A Norfolk.

Our View:Gathright has very good speed, but didn't have much of a chance to utilize it this season. He did manage one steal, but was gunned down twice. In just 14 at-bats on the season he collected three hits and spent most of his time on the bench due to a crowded Cubs' outfield. Gathright has little if any fantasy value even if he gets a call-up from the minors.

May 8, 2009
Joey Gathright is expected to be sent down to Triple-A Iowa to make room for pitcher Randy Wells on the roster, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Our View:Gathright is only hitting 3-for-14 (all singles) over limited action in the Cubs' crowded outfield, and he is viewed as the most expendable. He has one stolen base, but was caught twice.

March 15, 2009
Joey Gathright was 2-for-5 with two runs scored, a strikeout, and three stolen bases in the Cubs 10-7 win over Arizona on Sunday.

Our View:Looking at the spring numbers to date, and Gathright has outperformed Reed Johnson in the battle for centerfield, at least offensively. However, Johnson seems like the more reliable option, but it could end up being a platoon situation, with Gathright seeing the majority of right-handers. If that is the case, Gathright could make a run at 30-40 steals which would make him relevant in most fantasy leagues.

December 16, 2008
As expected, the Cubs have inked Joey Gathright to a one-year deal, according to MLB.com. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Our View:The left-handed outfielder should fit in well with the Cubs, and his speed should prove to be an asset as they make another run at the playoffs in 2009. He swiped 21 bases over 105 games with the Royals in 2008.

December 15, 2008
WSCR 670 in Chicago reports that the Cubs will sign outfielder Joey Gathright. He was non-tendered by the Royals.

Our View:Gathright is a speedster who appeared in 105 games last season. He hit .254, scored 41 runs and stole 21 stolen bases.
