Why it's a lot tougher to sell guys for value now than you might think, even if they offer their new team more starts in 2013.

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, June 8 – June 10, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head out to face the Milwaukee Brewers – the one team against whom the Cubs have played well this year. And Miller Park usually plays like Wrigley North, so it should be a fine reception for the Cubs. A refresher on the series preview here at [...]
The St. Louis Cardinals Cannot Be Defeated in the NL Central
The other teams in the National League Central might as well pack it in for the year, because the St. Louis Cardinals have already won the division. Apparently. It’s May 3 on the calendar, and the Cardinals are only 25 games into the schedule. But I’d like to submit this question: In the National League [...]
Series Preview: Nationals v. Cubs, April 26 – April 28, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the Washington Nationals, who’ve won far too many games lately. Perennially the Pittsburgh Pirate equivalent of the NL East, they can not currently be counted on for a series win. The Cubs might actually have to play well. A refresher on the series preview here [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, April 23 – April 25, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head out to face the Milwaukee Brewers for the second time on the young season. Miller Park usually plays like Wrigley North, so it should be a fine reception for the Cubs. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to [...]
Report: Cubs Looking at Braden Looper
The Chicago Cubs have finally started looking externally for solutions to their bullpen woes. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Cubs hosted free agent Braden Looper late yesterday in Chicago (though the team is on the road in New York, so it’s unclear for whom he threw). Looper, 35, could not find work in the offseason after [...]
Series Preview: Mets v. Cubs, April 19 – 22, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head out to face the disappointing New York Mets. Mets fans are probably the only ones in the land with more of a right to feel let down by their team lately than the Cubs. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The [...]
Ted Lilly to Return on Saturday, Big Decisions Looming
As we learned late last week, the plan for Chicago Cubs starter Ted Lilly is to have one more rehab start – tonight for A ball Peoria – and then to join the Cubs late this week, with an eye toward starting against the Brewers on Saturday. And his return could mean big things for [...]
Series Preview: Astros v. Cubs, April 16 – April 18, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the woeful Houston Astros to Wrigley. Let’s hope the Cubs aren’t the cure for those woes. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every [...]
