The sure FIRE cure for the cubs...

...outside of a plane crash, is... duh, didid, duuuuuuh.... A. Fire Dusty, needs no explanation. B. Trading Walker, Maddux, Nevin and Pierre, get some ready for next year AAA players. C. Parlay these players onto teams that have higher priced players with a year or two left on their deals: Tejada, Hunter, Figgins, Abreau and the likes. Whoever rocks the boat. D. Hire Bob Brenly from the booth, you can tell he WANTS this job, is familiar with the organization and seems to actually care for the plight of real cubs fans. I was in the Pinella camp up until a few days ago, then I heard a local interview during the ASB, and changed my mind. So, I guess this is my push to put BB in the captain's chair so to speak. Match up Zee with another horse, Dempster gets in middle relief and try Marmol as the stopper. Thanks to Whitlock for sharing some of his ideas, but I'll keep Barrett for the forseeable future.

    you can keep Barrett too . . . he's a huge defensive liability and cannot handle a pitching staff. Cubbies would do much better to make him a LF . . . he couldn't be worse there than he is at catching.

    Dempster could also be plugged into the rotation but he is too big a bargaining chip to keep. You've gotta let Jones go too, someone will pay for him . . . perhaps dearly.
