Fuld will make the club; he’ll just be the fifth outfielder, not the fourth. As for Hoffpauir, he’s not great defensively in the corner outfield spots, and he struggled at the plate last year. He could still make the bench, though, depending on how things shake out. As for Scales, he can play all over, but he’ll never have a big league bat. Andres Blanco is a far better option.

I Feel bad for players in the cubs farm system. don’t we have some in house options that would cost nothing. Sam Fuld was a monster in limited plate appearances last year and played exceptional defense. He could at least fill in for a part time position. or how about Micah Hoffpouir, He surprised people last year by playing good defense in the outfield. Yeah he didn’t have the best offensive season last year but he really hasn’t had many proffessional abs. What about Bobby scales, all these players might not be ready to be full time but at least let them compete for a fourth outfield position.

I do like the idea of Gomes and if we are gonna go the free agent route, he is my favorite so far. closely followed by jermaine dye.

I would love this addition, someone you wants to play for the Cubs.He is still fairly young, has power and doesnt seem to want alot of money. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY HE ISNT SIGNED YET?!
