So umm **** Ian Stewart

[poodski]

He was on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa, during which he went 4-for-44 (.091) with 16 strikeouts. Rehab assignments have to end after a certain length, so the Cubs activated him from the DL last Friday and optioned him to Iowa. Then this happened, writes Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago:

Sure, the CBA allows this, but... does this make you look good to management? Here's what Jed Hoyer had to say:

"We had a lot of discussions with him about it, in the end that was the decision," Hoyer said cryptically. "He has the right, it’s the given right the players have and that was the decision."

Personally I'd cut his *** today.

Funny thing is he's not getting any playing time because of Vitters. I'd cut him as well but Theo and Jed might have too much of an ego for that.

Man that guy's a dick.

Meh. Let him rot on the bench in Iowa. Better than letting him catch on elsewhere.

Stewart sucks. Read his Twitter. Guy is a total retard.

The Long Island Ducks?

Cut his sorry ***

[Max Power]

I think they have to pay him the $2 mil. just keep him down there and give him like 6 ABs the rest of the season.

Resigning him never made much sense, outside of a backup in case Valbuena was absolutely horrible. Especially given how poorly things ended last year.

Sadly, there weren't many better options on the market, Wiggington, Hannahan, Youkilis and Keppinger have been very bad.

Good thing Tyler Colvin didnt really blossom but id love to have him back. I ****ing hate Ian Stewart.

[Chazm]

You guys just hearing about this now????

[ReJo]

I'm actually OK with this. He had a free 3 day weekend so he took advantage of it. He's been struggling and it will give him a chance to clear his head
