I have waited a long time to tell the Jose Macias lovers, "I told you so." Today is that day. If any of you read other Cubs blogs you will notice how Corey Patterson gets blasted for his poor batting and needs to be sent to the minors or traded.

Meanwhile an even worse hitter who manages to get starting time over the likes of David Kelton or Jason Dubois continues to play.

Today Jose Macias went 0 for 7 in the Cubs 6-5 win over the Angels in 15 innings. His average dropped down to .263. Patterson's average is .264. To go along with Macias .263 BA, he sports a very nice .263 OBP. Which means in around 100 AB's this year he has yet to draw a walk. Is he still a "great" pick up by Jim Hendry? Is having a .263 OBP good for even class A rookie ball?

Yet Jose Macias is the best option to get starting time in the Cubs out field from our entire organization? Jose Macias is the best player we can play? For some reason I just dont believe Jose Macias is the best player the Cubs could find to start games in the OF and suck up AB's.

What we have on our hands is another Lenny Harris. And today that prophecy came true. Since Corey Patterson is the standard for lousy play by most people, today you get to eat one of your own and finally admit Jose Macias is the worst player Jim Hendry could of signed to suck up AB's for this team. Macias needs to get waived and TODAY.
