I figured I’d start a thread and update it if some relevant rumors start flying around about the Cubs. In the meantime, I’d like to quote tangotiger. But, never, ever, ever, talk about things like he’ll be a net negative in the last two years of his (or anyone’s) deal. That’s a “duh” statement. That’s because Reyes, like all people, …
What the Cubs have to consider at the Winter Meetings
We haven’t talked a lot about what the Cubs need to do this offseason. When the season ended they were without a GM so it made no sense. After they hired Theo and he assembled his front office it was difficult to know which direction the Cubs may go. There have been indications they’re willing to trade anybody and everybody, …

Ron Santo and the HOF
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Ron Santo’s death. I don’t know what else there is to say about Ron Santo’s Hall of Fame chances that hasn’t already been said. Last year, mb21 wrote these two articles about Santo’s career and how he stacks up with other third basemen in the HOF. Ron Santo’s Hall of Fame CareerHall of Fame …
