Murton Up, Patterson Down

Paul Sullivan of Chicagosports.com has reported that the Cubs have called up Matt Murton and sent Eric Patterson down. This could be, as Lou suggests, because the Cubs called up to left-handed players when Soriano went down. Or it could be, as the rest of the universe suggests, because the Cubs are attempting to trade Murton, hoping to maximize his value by calling him up for a month or so.
