• Good Old Country Hardball: Chip Caray, TBS Part Ways

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  TBS announced on Monday that they had parted ways with baseball play-by-play announcer Chip Caray. Sorry Kleenex, but my single tear wont help your stock price. Caray, who was better known for the full families of birds living in his eyebrows and his last name than his ability to call a baseball game has never ...

• MLB 2009 season review – NL Central

  
  BaseballGB — Authority: 125
  The National League Central has encouraged most of its members to think that they could compete for a postseason spot in recent years.  In practice, the competitive nature of the division hasn’t quite been replicated in the final standings, with several teams often falling a long way short.  Still, it’s a ...

• If Josh Johnson Is Available, Should The Chicago Cubs Call Florida?

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  He wont turn 26 until January, but Josh Johnson might be one of the better pitchers to become available this winter. Johnson stands to receive a substantial raise from his 2009 salary of $1.4 million after posting a 15-5 record with 191 strikeouts in 209 innings pitched. Standing 6-7 and weighing 240 pounds, Johnson ...

  VFTB — Authority: 425
  I enjoyed the previous book I read by Jerome Holtzman, so I decided to try another. This one was written by Jerome Holtzman and George Vass. The full title is “Baseball, Chicago Style – A Tale of Two Teams, One City”. It was published in 2001.First of all, that title reminded me [...] To read the rest of the ...

• Wally Hayward: The Next John McDonough?

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  Success follows John McDonough wherever he goes. McDonough, the current president of the NHLs Chicago Blackhawks, previously spent a quarter of a century as a rising executive with the Cubs. During that space of time, McDonoughs revolutionary ideas changed the entire face of the Cubs franchise. From 1983 to 2007, ...

• MLB Hot Stove (Milton Bradley & The Cubs)

  
  The Diamond Cutter — Authority: 116
  Bradleys temper has always been an issue (SD Dirk/Flickr). It appears as if the Chicago Cubs are financially handcuffed until they find a team to take outfielder Milton Bradley and his cumbersome multi-year contract off their hands. The Cubs would love to bring in a free agent centerfielder to run around Wrigley next ...

• Come to Think of It: Jeff Baker is Not the Answer for the Cubs at Second Base

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  I keep reading and hearing from both Cubs fans and the media alike that Jeff Baker is likely to be the starting second baseman for the Cubs in 2010. If that happens, I think it will be a mistake. You see, Baker has never done anything outside of Coors Field. It would be a leap of faith by Cubs general manager Jim ...

• Jim Hendry: What Will He Do With the Chicaco Cubs?

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  With things so quiet on the trade front, you have to assume that the winter meetings will start the momentum of the offseason going—someone will overpay for a reliever that had a career year or a position player that was great two years ago but has been injured since.  The question for us is, what will Jim Hendry ...

• Is Taking on Bradley for Castillo Worth It?

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  James Kannengieser of Amazin Avenue put together a comprehensive Mets offseason plan . James roster doesn’t include any of the big free agent names available this winter. The only qualms with the plan I have is at catcher with Greg Zaun, but that goes back to my preference for defense and game calling over ...

• Come To Think Of It: Some Lower Cost, High Upside Options For Cubs

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  We know all too well that the Cubs are financially constrained this winter. In addition to focusing on moving Milton Bradley, GM Jim Hendry has numerous issues to address on a ball club that seriously underachieved in 2009. But Im always here to help my friend Jimbo, so, as usual, here are some moves and/or signings ...

• North Side November: Where Are the Chicago Cubs?

  
  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 777
  All is quiet on the northern front in Chicago baseball so far this winter. Which is odd, because Jim Hendrys last few winters have been highlighted by more big game hunting than a weekend with Ted Nugent. When a guys resume includes bringing in names like Alfonso Soriano, Ted Lilly, Kosuke Fukudome and Milton ...

• Albert Pujols The Great

  
  Bullpen Brian — Authority: 125
  As a Cubs fan it’s easy to dislike Albert Pujols, but you have to respect the guy, even as a rival Cardinal. Take a look at Pujols’ 162-game averages for his career and tell me there’s not a better player in the game: .334/.427/.628 with 42 home runs, 129 RBIs, 94 walks, 124 runs scored, a 1.055 OPS and ...

  The Cubs Brickyard - Chicago Cubs Jokes, Sports Parody News, and Blog — Authority: 104
  (Chicago, IL) - This time last year, the middle of the Chicago Cubs lineup was in need of a boost. General Manager Jim Hendry had several options available - Raul Ibanez, Adam Dunn, and Bobby Abreu, to name a few. But those players simply didn’t bring to the table what Hendry believed the Cubs truly [...] Read the ...

• Is Geovany Soto a Good Fantasy Baseball Pick in 2010?

  
  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 ...

• Sean Marshall Not A Starter

  
  Bullpen Brian — Authority: 125
  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 ...
