Lets pretend for a moment that the Cubs had the budget of lets say the Yankees. Who would you want them to sign/Trade for? Or more simply put what would your dream team for the Cubs in 2012...
Im going to try to keep my somewhat within the realm of possibility (HA)

LF- Brian LaHair/(or)Logan Morrison
CF- Brett Jackson
RF- Yoenis Cespedes
3B- Hanley Ramirez
SS- Starlin Castro
2B- DJ LeMaheiu
1B- Prince Fielder
C- Geovany Soto

Hmm, if we're really dreaming ...

I like your lineup, though Cespedes might need a little time in the minors to confirm he's ready. In the rotation, I'd rather see Wilson over Buehrle (again, this is all a bit dreamy), and a deal for someone like James Shields.

That would be one hell of a lineup and one hell of a rotation. Of course, the team would cost $200 million and the farm system would be literally empty. But, dream team, indeed.

I like Buehrle over Wilson for 2 reasons: (1) Buehrle has been pretty consistent the past couple of years (last season he was 13-9 with a 3.59ERA) and (2) Wilson has been pitching for one of the best offensive teams in baseball the past few seasons and I think that may have something to do with his success. But thats just like my opinion lol. But on a more realistic note, do you think that there is any chance of the Cubs actually acquiring Hanley Ramirez (if the Marlins get Reyes)?

My dream team? I'd be on it somewhere. Probably a designated pinch runner.

I wanted to keep mine somewhat realistic. I was talking about including players that were FAs and trade block. And I think LeMaheu and LaHair could potentially start. They both tore it up in the minors and they looked good when they got a chance to play on the MLB team
