Jimbo....I could live with that package for Roberts. <BR/><BR/>Jimbo... to answer your question... and assuming the names in the package are correct and the trade goes through... we are left with lefty Fontenot at 2B, switchy IF Alex Cintron, and several minor league FAs that were signed and invited to camp.<BR/><BR/>Maybe someone else can add a few more names... I dont keep up with Cub minor leaguers like I used to.<BR/><BR/>Vitters is a 3B who maybe MLB ready in terms of hitting in a year or so. Word was they are trying him out in OF cause he would be blocked byUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909889581099318748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-79657071425827674302008-02-24T19:24:00.000-06:002008-02-24T19:24:00.000-06:00They wouldn't get Roberts just because Derosa is h...They wouldn't get Roberts just because Derosa is having health problems. Roberts to has been out of camp for his kidneys so i do not see that being the reason. Personally I would love to have Roberts but it better be done soon otherwise its going to be stupid if we have to change the whole line up around in the middle of spring. God i wish there was a decent short stop on the market the cubs could get. I would love the Indians Peralta.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-6389383371616606312008-02-24T17:32:00.000-06:002008-02-24T17:32:00.000-06:00i read about derosa and was going to ask you all w...i read about derosa and was going to ask you all who you thought the cubs might need to look but you've answered that. i have liked what i've seen from roberts. how much depth do the cubs have at middle infield? thanks, JimboAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
