Bobby Scales Called Up

May 4th, 2009 | Author: Chad Gramling

Former Fort Wayne Wizard, Bobby Scales is about to finally break through. After a decade in the minors (the last five at Triple-A) and having been employed by four different parent clubs, Scales has been called up.

The Chicago Cubs placed pitcher Carlos Zambrano on the 15-day disabled list Monday, making the call up of the infielder possible. Bobby Scales played the full 2008 season within the Cubs organization at Triple-A Iowa where he set career highs in batting average at .320 and had 94 runs, 59 walks to go along with a .415 on-base percentage over 121 games.

    That is terrific news. I loved BS when he was in Pawtucket.
