With the acquisition of Andrew Chafin, Josh Osich, and Cameron Maybin today the Cubs had to do some 60-man roster managing to fit them on the roster, and they did just that by designating utility infielder Hernan Perez and outfielder Ian Miller for assignment.
Perez, signed to a minor league deal in December and appeared in just three games for the Cubs going 1-6 with two strikeouts. Perez never really stood out at anything with the Cubs, and his spot is easily replaceable.
It's a bit of a surprise to see Miller DFA'd, but his only real asset to the Cubs was his speed and defense and the Cubs already have a lot of outfield depth and just added two more pieces that can contribute right now.
Perez is ultimately replaceable, but it would be nice if they are able to stash Miller. His speed and defense could be a real weapon for the Cubs if needed in a pinch, even if his bat isn't good.
