Thu, 5 Nov 2009 15:28:23 +0000

Updating a previous item, where it was thought that Chicago Cubs pitcher, coming off minor shoulder surgery, would begin throwing again in January - uh, he might not. Now, he’s not expected to start really throwing until March. How that makes a full-time return in April - at least not ...

Cubs Not in on Studly Cuban Aroldis Chapman

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:58:35 +0000

If you were hoping the Cubs would go after studly, young lefty Aroldis Chapman out of Cuba, you can stop. The likely top prize on the free agent market this year is going elsewhere. Speaking of free agents, nobody asked, but you can cross the Cubs off the list of teams interested in Cuban ...

Lackey or Harden and Wolf

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:21:59 +0000

As most of you guys know, I like Lackey a lot but I am scared off by the talk of 5 years 90Million+. I think especially the 5 years part is what bothers me the most. However, Lackey is a great pitcher and would compliment Santana nicely. After reading a few articles on MLBTR and ...

2010 Free Agents: Starting Pitchers

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:29:08 +0000

Josh Beckett will definitely have his option picked up by the Boston Red Sox. But this list is a lot stronger than we've been led to believe by the bigger media guys.
