The biggest reason for that is I'm not a Cubs, Sox, Bulls or Bears fan. But geez, there's more Cub homers on this blog than Carter's has pills! Somebody has to keep you people honest.

Cedeno is very average, Marshall very average and Gallagher may turn out to be something but you have to give to get. As far as the steroids are concerned, I don't care. Line-up looks much better with Soriano out of the leadoff spot. I predict (say it like ya mean it) .290 .375 .450 for Roberts with 39 steals. Gotta go get a pretzel, see ya's!

He would instantly make the Cubs the team to beat in the NL. Roberts…not so much." I quote from your second posted comment, dhaab. You can keep your swamp land. If the trade goes through, and Roberts plays a full season without injury or other sidelining fiasco, his numbers will go up. The average, obp, and runs scored will increase, and I'd be willing to bet the pop will increase by about 6-7 homers. And you can look back here in September and say how right I was. “If they’re going to make a BIG move and trade away much of their youth, they should go after a guy like Eric Bedard.

I happen to think pitching wins in baseball. And I said that trading Roberts would purge the Cubs of all of their pitching depth, which is what Phil Rogers reported in the article. And if you honestly believe Roberts numbers will go up in the NL, I've got some swamp land to sell you. Thanks for the kind comments. I happen to think pitching wins in baseball.
