Maestri in Triple-A

 The Chicago Cubs promoted right handed reliever Alessandro Maestri to Triple-A Iowa in an historical first for an Italian raised player.  Maestri had already become the first Italian product in Double-A where he was 3-1 with a 3.30 ERA and 54K in 62.2 innings, and continues to blaze uncharted territory as he competes with Mariners farmhand Alessandro Liddi (.348, 20HR in Single-A) to be the first Italian to realize the ultimate baseball dream of playing in the Major Leagues.

The move was after another pitcher was called up from Iowa after All-Star Ted Lilly went on the disabled list, so hopefully Maestri can prove he belongs for the rest of the year.
