Well, trading away your whole team doesn't scream trying to win. At least not now, maybe in the future but that's TBD.

Again if it opens up playing time for Lake vs pushing out another platoon 100% behind it. They get Manny B. in return I would be pleased.
Again this is more of the buying prospects at low value points. Each one was concidered talented but suffered from some type of injury.
Olt vision, Vizcaino T.J. surgery. Both were talented. Not were suspect talents but healthy.
BTW new rankings up on MLB.com.
1: Baez
2. Olt
3. Almora
4. Soler
5. B.Jaxx
6. Vizcaino
7. Maples
8. Johnson
9. Villanueva
10. Edwards
11. Lake
12. Szczur
13. Vogelbach
14. Ha
15. Candelario
16. Vitters
17. Underwood
18. Blackburn
19. Amaya
20. Alcantara

I think he updates in the off season to be honest. This was a easy slide over ranking. Notice no new draft picks added either.

I would run a line up like:
1. Lake CF
2. Dejesus LF/platoon with Sappelt
3. for now 3B platoon. I would push for Olt here.
4. Rizzo
5. Castro (has had success in the 5 hole in the past)
6. RF platoon of Schierholtz and Gillespie
7. Barney
8. Castillo
When Navarro plays plug him into the 3 hole.
What I could see taking shape is an OF of Lake, Sweeney and maybe Vitters if he continues with his current hitting. 5 for 11 1 HR. Was reactivated at the same time Lake was promoted. He has a plus arm also and can be an asset in LF. Strong enough arm to keep runners honest. Lake I would move to RF due to his athletic ability and shot gun arm. Sweeney just like him. Can hit. Some power. LH bat. Not afraid to hit the wall if needed. It is an passable OF until the talent up-wells. Good arms and some intangibles going on.

NYY sources saying its close while Cubs saying its not even close. Hoyer did XM interview and said they havent even talked players or money yet. But We have heard Cubs brass lied before. 100% Garza starting for Cubs on MON. How that work out??

Agree with this. I think deal farther along then what Hoyer leading on but doesnt want Dempster 2.0 saga to happen again this year with Sori

Yankees, Cubs Have Talked Soriano
By Steve Adams [July 23 at 1:48pm CST]
1:48pm: In an interview with Mike Ferrin and Jim Duquette on MLB Network Radio (audio link), Cubs GM Jed Hoyer called reports of a deal being near "very premature." Hoyer adds that there is "nothing close at all."
The Cubs have discussed Soriano with multiple teams, and Hoyer and Epstein plan to fly to Arizona to speak with the outfielder in order to gauge his interest in the teams that have inquired about him.
that right there tells us that they have multiple offers for soriano and will spend tonight / tomm. talking to soriano and seeing where he wants to go..
i say we hear of a deal by Weds night / Thursday

It would be nice to see lake in the OF for the rest of the season. Maybe Dejesus can go to left and Lake can stay in CF.

I would prefer the opposite. The bad is coming out of Lake in center. No fault of his own just hasn't played barely anytime their in his life. I would much rather throw him in left and show off the cannon every now and then.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this so put it here.
Jason Grilli is going on the 15 day DL, but it could be longer. He has forearm tightness which we all know can be the first sign of an elbow injury. Strike hot and fast Theo. Pirates are going for it this year. They may give up a little better prospect then normal for Gregg.

They don't update the lists with new draftees until the season is almost over.
