Another Right Field Option For the Chicago Cubs?

The Chicago Cubs are looking for a right fielder who hits left handed and would fit into the middle of the batting order. They also have Felix Pie, Reed Johnson, and Kosuke Fukudome in the mix for time between center field and right, while Alfonso Soriano continues to underwhelm in left. The rumor mill on every major sports web site and blog has thrown the names of the major players on the free agent market, and a number of trade candidates around since early October. The Cubs are also confronting the issue of finding time for young players like Pie and, eventually, youngster Tyler Colvin in the crowded Cubs outfield, making a long term contract for another outfielder less attractive. The available options aren't jumping off the page at anyone, either. Bobby Abreu will want a multi year deal for more than $10 million per season. He'll be 35 years old in 2009. Adam Dunn will want more years and more money than Abreu, being that he has hit for more consistent power and is seven years younger. ... (link)
