There aren't any better than Ramirez, Vitters is getting better but still not ready.So i think Ramirez stays one more year. 1B on the other hand has Pujols who i think will resign with cards. So that leaves Fielder<br />and Berkman. 2013 WRight and Youkilis could be available at 3B.<br />Signing Wilson as a free agent would give the cubs a left handed starter they need badly. And hopefully Cashner and Guzman are healthy. Just my 2 cent worth.Nick I Cub Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566720387061284952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-25105330417179794312011-07-04T08:51:08.224-05:002011-07-04T08:51:08.224-05:00Hello!

I wanted to comment that I would love the idea of the cubs trading for Hamilton and Davis from Texas rangers. Do you think the rangers would make available Josh Hamilton for the right package? I think something like Soto, Cashner, Colvin, Vitters and some other prospect could net both for the cubs, what do you think?Antonionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-39082281918224357692011-07-01T16:54:14.537-05:002011-07-01T16:54:14.537-05:00the only 2 i see getting traded are PENA and FUKUD...the only 2 i see getting traded are PENA and FUKUDOME. The rest have no trade clauses make to much or just stink. But i sure hope its possible to trade SORIANO for ZITO with a little tinkering. My first choices to go would be HILL, WELLS and GRABOW, i don't see anyone wanting them.Nick I Cub Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566720387061284952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-33359192739095181692011-06-30T20:15:23.068-05:002011-06-30T20:15:23.068-05:00Ramirez isn't going anywhere. If he is traded,...Ramirez isn't going anywhere. If he is traded, his option for next year automatically vests. No team would trade for him without the Cubs picking up at least half of that money. His buyout for next year is $2MM. The Cubs would have more money to spend on the free agent market by keeping Ramirez and buying him out then trading him and picking up any of his contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
