<div>The Cubs didn't "trade" for anything and when they do it won't be for a reserve OF. They spent $5.5 million on a guy that they are likely to turn into a bean that they can then trade for someone more interesting. The best analogy is Paul Maholm who Theo turned into Arodys Vizcaino. Remember that name. He's going to be a good one (a front line starting pitcher, that is). And as best I recall at about this time last year Brad Lee traded for a "useless bean"/"reserve outfielder" named Trout. That seemed to work out pretty well.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And Doug, as bad as the Cubs were last year, by my account the only difference between the Sox and the Cubs is that the Cubs will have a higher draft pick. Both teams were sitting in front of their televisions watching other teams in the playoffs.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>That is all.</div>

<div>I am still waiting for someone in this league to give me the site address so I can get back to what I do my best: helping my co-owners pick their keepers. I see that Yankees top prospect is Mason Williams--don't I have that guy? Hey, am I getting spammed? Anyone out there?</div>
