With this roster, the Cubs will compete. I think they will make a push for the playoffs if the young hitters hit and play defense and the young pitchers repeat their performance from last year. They will continue to add pieces this and next year too.

CF Alcantara
2B Baez
1B Rizzo
3B Bryant
SS Castro
RF Soler
C Montero
LF Coghlan

Bench
Valbuena, Sweeney, Olt, Watkins, Castillo

Lester
Arrieta
Hammel
Wood
Hendricks

Bullpen
Rondon- Closer
Strop
Grimm
Ramirez
Jackson
Rosscup
Parker

1.) Heard they were still looking for LF. Coghlan is ok, but not really a starter.


2.) Uh, history will find them out. The Cubs are jinxed. Expect Lester to struggle.


3.) There are rumors about Justin Upton waiving his no-trade clause and about the Nationals shopping Harper


4.) They aren't shopping Harper. Desmond maybe, but I haven't heard anything Harper.


5.) I have read a few reports that are rumors about Harper


6.) Where, I've been watching MLB Network for most of the winter meetings and there have been zero reports of that.


7.) Harper is filing a grievance against the Nationals so he can supersede the major league contract, he signed when he was drafted, and gain the right to go to arbitration where he would be able to make more money. People feel it has caused a rift between Harper and the Nationals, that could lead to a trade.

Cubs sign Hammel but it doesn't mean they are out on Lester

Mayhem Like Me

1.) 2yrs - 20mil w/ a club option or 2mil buyout for the third.


2.) Agreed. Cubs appear to be the faves.

1.) So who do you see them trading for Zim/Cole?


2.) I don't want a top reliever and Martin. We have 3 good, back end relievers. Low ERAs and many Ks per 9 innings. Castillo is fine at catcher.

Go all out on 2 top 5 free agent starters. Hopefully Lester and Scherzer or Shields.


3.) Boy Howdie- I see them trading away a position player. The Nationals are said to want a middle infielder. This is all based on Zimmerman signing a deal with the Cubs. One of Russell, Castro, Baez in that order, a middle level prospect and a low level. Obviously there would be other pieces and it just depends on the deal. Sounds like the Phillies are asking too much for Hamels but we will see. I believe they want an OF prospect. I can see the Cubs sending Almora, Soler, McKinney and a couple other prospects to the Phillies for Hamels.

Cubs2015- You can never have too many relievers, especially LH relievers. SIGN THEM ALL!


4.) Batting Order?

Alcantara
Castro
Rizzo
Bryant
Baez
Soler
Martin
Coghlan

Thoughts?


5.) Cubs2015- I'd like to see the Cubs sign 2 of those top 5 free agent pitchers and then trade Hendricks and Russell for Zimmerman (if he signs a contract) and Michael Taylor.

Scherzer
Lester
Zimmerman
Arrieta
Wood

This wood be the best rotation in baseball.

A Catcher like Martin and a reliever or two like Miller and Robertson would give the Cubs one of the best teams in baseball and immediately put them in the WS talk.

I am open to hearing why all, some, or none of this can or can't happen.


6.) Yea they won't get two of the top 3. Nor does it sound like they will get Zimmerman.


7.) I think the Phils would take Russell, Hendricks, and Almora for Hamels.


8.) ^ I meant to add Byrd to that deal but I hit send too soon. So Russell, Hendricks, and Almora for Hamels and Byrd.


9.) Cubs won't give up that much for Hamels and they certainly don't want Byrd back

How about Castillo and Almora for Zobrist?

That is probably not enough from the Cubs but they sure won't want to give up 2 pitching prospects. They need to keep as much depth there as possible. They may do something like that if it involved a hitter or two instead of pitchers though.

That is is too much for Hamels

Originally Shields definitely would want at least 5 years but I can see now him taking less time and jumping on the Cubs bandwagon. Hey, It could be like the NBA players all joining one team and taking pay cuts to try to win. Why not in Baseball? LOL

I hope they don't sign Gomes but if they sign Ross I can see them trading away Castillo. I hope they get Upton but I don't know if I want them to give up Edwards in the deal although I am sure that deal is pretty close to fair.
