The Future for Alfonso Soriano, Matt Garza and Ryan Dempster

Saw a couple interesting tidbits the last few days regarding the Cubs: The first was an interview that Cubs GM Jed Hoyer did with Carmen, Yurko and Harry on ESPN Chicago. During the interview, Hoyer indicated that he believed that Alfonso Soriano will be will the Cubs come opening day, meaning its unlikely that the Cubs will be able to trade him. Even though the Cubs are willing...

Cubs 2012 Roster Outlook: Tony Campana

In only 95 games last season, Tony Campana finished 28th in the league with 24 stolen bases. With a full season in 2012, he figures to easily crack the top 10 and establish himself as one of the leagues’ elite base stealers. So what else will Tony Campana bring to the table for the Cubs? It seems unlikely he will be a starter, with Soriano, Byrd, and DeJesus being the early...

Alfonso Soriano Still A Cub; Not the Worst Thing

Let me get this out of the way, I’m not an Alfonso Soriano fan. Am I thrilled that he’s still a member of the Cubs? No, but like most loyal fans, I try to rationalize things, and convince myself that things aren’t that bad. Lets face it, at this point in his career, Soriano isn’t bring much to the table, besides terrible fielding and spitting excessive amounts...

The Chicago Cubs Should Trade For Logan Morrison

The Chicago Cubs are starting to build a young, and talented organization. I really like the way the young talent is starting to accumulate, and with that being said: there is still a ton of work to do. Alfonso Soriano just isn’t going to get it done, and will be tough to trade, but that doesn’t mean the Cubs shouldn’t continue to look at ways to improve the club...

Cactus League countdown: Chicago Cubs

Trying once again to shed the "lovable losers" label that's grown tired on the North Side, the Chicago Cubs made a momentous shift in direction this offseason. After handing the reins over to former Red Sox boy wonder Theo Epstein, the Cubs begin a new chapter this spring, one they hope includes a culture of winning and little of the futility experienced over the past...

Player Profile #52: Starlin Castro | SS | CHC

For most of last season (and the year before) I wasn’t very bullish on Starlin Castro as a fantasy option. He didn’t seen to have enough pop or enough speed to be a major factor, and though I knew he’d hit around .300, I wasn’t sure he’d be able to score enough runs or tally enough RBI to make up for it. As it turns out Castro did just enough of everything...

The Cubs are eight days from Spring Training!!

It’s Friday, we’re eight days from the greatness of Spring Training, the Cubs have three players in another guy’s top 100 prospects, we haven’t signed Cespedes and it looks like Soriano is wearing the blue pinstripes this season 1060 W. Addison. So, with that said, and with many more things unfurl, let’s get rambling. •Is it just me, or do you ever sit back and think...

Cubs' GM: Soriano likely starts '12 in Chicago

Chicago Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said Thursday that it's unlikely Alfonso Soriano will start the season with another team, and he also said there could be discussions about locking up Matt Garza to a long-term deal.
