Miguel Cabrera Available, which leads me to ask if Granderson really is available
If the Tigers trade Cabrera, they save 20 M. What need, then, to trade Granderson or Jackson?

Mike Kiley insults Wrigley and Cubs fans
This bit really ticked me off:
As someone who has attended games at Wrigley Field since the 1960s, I stand by my position that the old has to be replaced by the new. You may have loved your grandmother, too, but would you want to keep her in the living room when she began to smell rank? Wrigley Field has seen better days that no facelift can ever fix. Don't you think if you'd lost as much in one house as the Cubs have, you might consider moving or rebuilding? Wallow in history, if you want, but Cubs fans still come out smelling like garbage. So I contend that Blackhawks fans actually have it better than Cubs fans. They can watch games in a more state-of-the-art facility than Cubs fans, who need to be drunk to ignore their decrepit surroundings.

Muskat on Fuld : even DUMBER than usual
There are a lot of perfectly valid reasons Sam Fuld should not be the starting center fielder for the Cubs but the two mentioned by MuskRAT are not among them. First she claims because his a diabetic they can't be sure he would be healthy enough. Fuld has NEVER had an issue with diabetes, now crashing into walls & fences, and other exuberant parts of his playing have over the years cost him playing time but none of it was related to his diabetes. His O'fer from June- Sept in RBI's was largely beyond his control. He had fewer than 100 ABs and most of those were in the 8 spot. He batted .299 with 29 hits so it is not like he was stranding runners in scoring position all the time like certain other players. The fact that Fuld has little power and has not played a whole lot of major league games are both pretty strong reasons not go into the season with him as your starting center fielder but Muskat is too stupid to put forth a logical argument.
Free Agency Blunders
Milton Bradley is on this list of Tracy Ringolsby's 10 worst free agent signings of recent years. Could there be someone on this list the Cubs could swap MB for?

White Sox Sign Vizquel To One-Year Deal
I guess they won't mind a backup infielder who can't hit. Yes, he'll help their young infielders with their defense.
