He's a veteran guy. He comes at no expense. And if he does look good at Colorado Springs, remember that ballpark makes Coors Field look like San Diego's Petco Park. Guz, doesn’t hurt to look.

His flyball tendencies, plus the walks, are a little alarming to me. Not sure he would be worth the risk pitching at Coors.

And then if he does get called up the Rockies would be responsbile for only a pro-rated portion of the minimum salary, and the Cubs are on the hook for the remainder of the $2 million.

I hope Street is a Haren, instead of a Mulder/Gaudin/Zito/Greg Smith?. Beane always seems to know when he's used up a pitcher and it's time to get something for him. I fully expect Hardin to break down for the Cubs this year. If Street continues to perform like he did last night, he can help buck the trend. He and Corpas will be a great tandem.
