  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  Geovany Soto entered the 2008 season as a player with a ton of upside potential, having made his presence felt in a 2007 cup of coffee (.389, 3 HR in 54 AB).  Having lived up to his potential, owners entered 2009 thinking that he was easily a top five catcher in all formats, taking him early in drafts to ensure they ...

  Bullpen Brian — Authority: 127
  Sean Marshall sees himself as a starter, not a reliever. At least that’s the word coming from Bruce Levine of ESPN 1000. Funny thing is… I feel just the opposite . Last year the lefty went 1-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 46 relief appearances. By all means, pretty good. As a starter, however, Marshall ...

  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 479
  Many pundits would have been surprised weeks ago if you’d told them then that Milton Bradley would still be a Cub now. But so it is. And unfortunately, so much of what the Cubs hope to accomplish this offseason is tied to what happens with Bradley - if they can’t cut some of his salary, they can’t add much; if ...

  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 479
  It’s award season in MLB, and the disappointing Chicago Cubs didn’t figure to get much recognition. Except the bad kind.

  I mean, we all realized this, didn’t we? Though the Toronto Blue Jays are shopping ace Roy Halladay this winter, and although they contacted the Cubs, specifically, about making a move, there is currently no reason to believe he’ll actually be donning Cubby Blue next year.

• Left-Handed Complement: Cubs Have Stockpile of Southpaw Slingers

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  When it comes down to numbers, right-handed pitchers have an easier go of it in Major League Baseball. Only about one-quarter of all batters in the league hit left-handed, meaning right-handed pitchers can expect to have the platoon advantage over 75 percent of the hitters they face (removing the admittedly estimable ...

  Although it appears unlikely the rumored three way deal between the Mets, Rangers, and Cubs will go down I decided to look into Kevin Millwood a bit.
