THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE DEFINITION OF A 65-WIN TEAM. #REBUILDING

yep he is a guy with promise that the Cubs are gambling on. he has potential but really hasn't been the same since he got hurt for colorado right?

How so? I thought it was fair, LeMathieu IMO won't ever turn out to be anything.

Colvin I liked a lot but he really never got a shot. He has promise but has also struggled a lot at times. Stewart sounds to be the same way.

I hope Colvin blows up for y'all though, I liked him a LOT.

That is your opinion, but look at Colvins stats last year. I watched him. He struggled, batted .150.

that rotation, even with zito, is gross.

I loved their pickup of Cuddyer. He is one of the leagues great under appreciated players.

that is a sick rotation, Scherzer and Porcello are both underrated.


I as a Cub fan is hoping the Garza for Turner trade is true, we need some young talent and Garza would put you guys in a dominant position.

The Tigers signed Cepedas?

nah, he is predicting that they will. read today they are going after him hard.

The Rangers could be in talks with Prince Fielder...I know Washington is the leader, but he wants to play in a Hitters park.

Its tough to predict Cuban players...

The Rangers signed Martin last year and he made the big club by season's end, but I think they are getting him ready to be a real contributor this season.

Yep, that is why I want it to happen lol
