Illinois Times -- Sources within the Chows organization revealed that Illinois GM Brad Sherlag submitted his list of keepers to the NASBL commissioners office this morning. Although we have not yet obtained the list, it appears that Illinois kept the maximum 17 players this season. Two players warranted serious consideration, but in the end the Chows chose to keep both Fukudome and Cordero.
Playing the math game, it seems likely the Chows also kept both of their injured pitchers. Although Maine and Volquez will not be able to pitch a full-season, they should be able to take the hill enough times to get about 20 or so starts between them.
Word is the Chows still haven't given up on the franchise's first ever pick - Chris Capuano. Chris will spend his second straight season on IR. Capuano, a sentimental favorite of the team, was once cut and re-drafted in the same season. While the money spent on surgeries and rehab may be better spent on developing young talent, the Chows seem to think Capuano could someday emerge as a capable LH reliever if not the innings eater he once was.
