New Guy f/x - Garrett Olson

Felix Pie is gone gone gone to Baltimore, back into the warm embrace of Andy MacPhail. The Cubs get a minor-leaguer (Henry Williamson) and lefty Garrett Olson. This trade was hinted at back in November, which prompted me to take a look at Olson. He's not all that impressive.

You can say that again. im an orioles fan but do root for the cubs in the national league. Olson showed signs of being decent but had a hard time adjusting to the al east. hopefully he does well with you guys. as for pie, im excited to see what he can do with baltimore's young outfield

I think the Cubs believe he's young and was rushed (they said he would've been in AAA if he was with the Cubs in 2008). Or San Diego wants him. Who knows.
