• The Cubs’ Offseason Sucked

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 141
  Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman threw together a list of the eight most disappointing offseasons in Major League Baseball this year, and - no surprise - the Chicago Cubs made the cut. In fact they came in at number two behind only the New York Mets, who at least added a big bat in Jason Bay. High praise, this is ...

  GenXXL — Authority: 431
  Spring Training is almost upon us, and I think it’s time to predict who will rise and who will fall in the National League.  2010 promises to be a loaded season with teams reloading, wallowing, and retooling. Major League Baseball’s season is VERY long and VERY complicated.  Plus, it offers us a glimpse into ...

  Adam Adkins is a 20-year-old college student in Dayton, Ohio, and his team of choice is the Yankees.

  Touching Base: Fantasy Baseball File - NY Daily News Blogs — Authority: 421
  After finally enjoying good health in 2008, when he reached 600 plate appearances for the first time in his career, while hitting 25 homers with a .510 slugging percentage for the Pirates and Yankees, Xavier Nady lasted just seven games last year before having to undergo his second Tommy John surgery.

• Fourth Outfielder Watch: Jermaine Dye and Xavier Nady are the Top Choices

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 141
  We’re getting very close to anointing this an obsessive watch, people. The only thing holding it back is that the acquisition of a fourth outfielder doesn’t have quite the same cachet as a Jake Peavy or Brian Roberts or a New Owner. That said, a new report suggests the Chicago Cubs view Jermaine Dye and Xavier ...

  iSportacus — Authority: 433
  Eyebrows were raised this week when 2-time Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum, asked for $13 million from the San Francisco Giants in his arbitration filing. The Giants are offering $8 million. Unlike other sports, in baseball arbitration the decision isn’t an arbitrated amount somewhere in the middle; it’s a process ...

• Xavier Nady Remains an Option for the Cubs

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 141
  Fortunately, in their search for a fourth outfielder, the Chicago Cubs appear to have many options. Of course, each option is flawed in some respect - otherwise they’d be in line for a starting gig. One option continues to be Xavier Nady. Scott Boras, the agent for Xavier Nady, said in an e-mail that the ...

• The Cubs Will Make It Better

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 780
  Yes, Cubs fans, I, like you, have not thought much about the 2010 Cubs since late August or early September. I lost interest in between Milton Bradley’s rightfield shenanigans and Kevin Gregg’s ineptitude. I have kept busy anticipating a great Chicago Bears season ruined by incompetent management and Brian ...

  AmateurGm.com — Authority: 122
  According to Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com , the Chicago Cubs and Jermaine Dye have mutual interest in each other and are rumored to be in preliminary discussions on a deal. If signed by the Cubs, Dye would be used primarily as a fourth outfielder and as a platoon partner in right field with current outfielder ...

• What part of manage doesnt the Cubs manager understand?

  
  RosenBlog — Authority: 514
  Cubs manager Loon Piniella is back to showing why he’s stealing $4 million a year. Last season, it was June when he said he was out of answers for his team’s struggling offense and was threatening to pull his lineup out of a hat. Nice. The guy in charge of leadership was done before the All-Star break. This ...

• The 2010 Chicago Cubs Batting Order is Largely Set

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 141
  Without too many moving parts from last year to this, the batting order for the Chicago Cubs is not as prone to questioning as it has been in years past. In fact, the main question - why in the sweet hell is Alfonso Soriano still leading off - mercifully faded away, for good, last year. But the addition of new center ...

• Cubs’ Lineup Starts to Take Shape

  
  The Diamond Cutter — Authority: 414
  Byrd looks to solidify the Cubs lineup (Keith Allison/Flickr). One of the most mind-boggling batting orders that I can ever remember is when the Chicago Cubs have decided to hit outfielder Alfonso Soriano in the leadoff spot. Just the idea of having a guy with a career .326 OBP (with a horrible .303 in 2009) atop ...

• The Cubs Lost in 2009 Because They Were Fat - Now They’re Not

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 141
  Conditioning in baseball is a funny thing. For every athletic freak, there are plenty of David Wells and Cecil Fielders out there who don’t really need to do the whole “being in shape” thing in order to be successful. For the Chicago Cubs, conditioning issues popped up repeatedly in 2009: Alfonso Soriano’s ...
