How's things? About the Santo quote.....Prince Albert isn't fast, but he runs "smart". He steals off of pitchers consistently. And he's always looking to take the extra base. Is "speed" considered the tool or is it smart base-running? Hey Z….long time. How’s things?

About the Santo quote…..Prince Albert isn’t fast, but he runs “smart”.

He steals off of pitchers consistently. And he’s always looking to take the extra base.

Is “speed” considered the tool or is it smart base-running?

But there really isn't much of a farm to sell these days for the Cubs. They've pretty much used most of their chips or they are on the big league club now. If they don't win this year or next, it could be a while before they have the club to make a run at it again. They didn’t and that’s why it was a good trade.

He’s an injury waiting to happen." True but the Cubs really didn't sell the farm to get him. I also remember saying the same thing about Carp! “I wouldn’t have made a deal for Harden.

He's an injury waiting to happen. The Cubs, however, were in a great position to take a chance on someone like him. It was a good move for them. IMO, Blanton isn't all that great of a starter. Besides, the Cards don't really need a starter, their problems are with the bullpen, not the rotation. I know I’ll get shit for this, but if I’m Mozeliak, I wouldn’t have made a deal for Harden.

And not to drag this on, but they could have focused on a guy like Harden that has more than just this year left to his deal. Guys like Harden and Blanton did not cost that much. As a Cubs fan, I'm pleased as punch that they didn't acquire any help. Ok.

Others are just used to the fact that they haven't done this sort of thing for the past few years and they've gone in a different direction in trying to build from within. I'm more in the middle, but I'm realistic when it comes to this team. The middle infield is weak and the bullpen is weaker. One or two trades wouldn't have changed that. I just didn't want them to trade any of their highly rated prospects (Rasmus, Anderson, Perez or Wallace) for a player who probably wouldn't be on the team next year.
