Neifi Perez Traded on Sunday to the Detroit Tigers for Minor League Catcher

On Sunday, as rumored in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs traded Neifi Perez to the Detroit Tigers for Minor League catcher Chris Robinson. Perez will help the Tigers with the recent injury to Placido Polanco. The Cubs received Chris Robinson who will report to the Daytona Cubs (A). In 94 games with the Lakeland Tigers (A), Robinson hit .288 (92-319) with 1 home run and 47 RBI's (.338 OBP/.367 OBP). Robinson was a 3rd round draft pick of the Tigers in 2005 out of the University of Illinois. Named the best defensive catcher in the Minor League system of the Detroit Tigers in 2005.

The Neifi Perez watch in Chicago is officially over....

    Celebration time, come on!

    Ceeellllaaabbrraatttioonnn Time, Come ON!!!!!

    Whoooo!

    Yeah!!!

    We dumped a chump, and we saved about $2 million off the payroll next year, as Theriot/Cedeno/Izturis is plenty of middle infielders for now, and all three should see decent at-bats resting each other.

    A defensive catcher in our system is a great idea, too. Most prospects don't pan out, so I don't get excited about them, but if Barrett needs to move to the OF in a couple years, if he is still hitting well, then having some young talent in the catching corps is a great thing to have!

    Will Rusch be next?!?!

    Even though the Cubs look like they may lose this game, this day still feels like we won a doubleheader now!
