I think we now know why the Chicago Cubs left the Winter Meetings only having added David DeJesus to the roster.They're obviously out of money.Seriously, if you drove by Wrigley Field Wednesday night...part of their sign is out.Riddle me this Cubs fans, is this something they do often...or do they need to change some bulbs? I'll just sit here and wait for your answers.***Picture courtesy of Wayne Buckner.***

Its time once again to unveil the Cubs Composite Top 10 Prospect List. For those of you who were not around last year, this is where I search the internet to find as many Top 10 Prospect lists for the Cubs as I can. Then, using a formula of 10 points for 1st, 9 points for 2nd, etc. I assign points for each of the lists, add them up and sort the total points from highest to lowest...

The Interconnectedness of Carlos Zambrano’s Challenges

Carlos Marmol Player Projection No. 117

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  December 16, 2011
Key Stats: Only Craig Kimbrel had more strikeouts among closers last season than Carlos Marmol. Strikeouts are never the first thing that we think about with relief pitchers, but they might as well be when it comes to draft decisions. Saves are a direct reflection on a team's ability to win close games. As we've seen countless times, bundles of saves can happen from guys...
