It may still be unlikely, but what’s wrong with cheering for a huge LaHair season in 2012? Rudy Jaramillo lends a hand, Chicago ad men are upset, and a meta discussion on the nature of reporting rumors nowadays.

CubFan Paul GOD i hope not! i'm hoping Wells get traded before the end of the spring. his $2.7M salary drives me nuts –Jan 27, 12:37 PM
