A rant about my favorite team in baseball the Cubs and an objective look into baseball in general.

The trade that will happen by ASB.

The Cubs will bring back Dontrelle Willis by the ASB. No, I'm not smoking crack. Why would the Marlins give up their best pitcher? He will be arbitration eligible. With incentives, this years deal can go up to 5 million, guaranteed. 7.5-9 million is not out of the realm of possibility. Salary dump on Las Vegas' part I mean, Floridas part Not a Freudian slip. I will go on record and state the Marlins will be in sin city next year. Which, like the Nats going to D.C. , the pure novelty will sustain the franchise it's 1st season w/out marquee names. They would go to the AL West, pushing Pittsburgh to the NL East. Even out the teams in both leagues. What will the Cubs give up? Felix Pie and Angel Guzman, possibly Ryan Harvey. The Cubs gave up too much for Pierre to be a 1 year rental and he's only 28. Pie is not a leadoff hitter. He's a #2, but with Murton going nowhere for a long time and Jones for two more seasons, Pie becomes bait for a SP. You'll see.

    Doh!!! Remember what I said about the Cubs beating teams like the Reds?

    I would put Glendon Rusch in that package also, you never know you might get a servicable rake back.

    That was their problem the last two seasons. Cannot be blamed on the cardinal hangover. Need to beat up on teams when they have the chance. Hope Maddux and Zee show better otherwise the ship will sink fast.
