- Muskat blogged that the Blue Jays contacted the Cubs about Roy Halladay. ...there's a catch. He's owed $15.75 million in 2010, and the Blue Jays want some of the Cubs' top prospects. No. 1, the team can't take on Halladay's salary. The Blue Jays apparently have a wish list and Milton Bradley is not on it. A player like highly regarded shortstop Starlin Castro most likely is, and the Cubs don't want...

Well, I got busy. And then it took me a while to put this p.o.s. together. The good news is I’ve got the pitch F/X database now, and it should be easier for me to do analysis going forward. Anyways, it’s done now. I hope you enjoy it. The Chicago Cubs are relying on Carlos Marmol to be their closer in 2010. Is this a good idea? Well, Marmol is incredibly tough to hit.

Bruce Miles of The Daily Herald has a few tidbits of information about the Chicago Cubs in his latest blog post. Miles notes that the Cubs have an unusually high number of arbitration-eligible players this offseason, and singles out Carlos Marmol as an important case. Miles figures that the Cubs and Marmol's agent Barry Praver could disagree about the reliever's value, since his holds total and opponents'...

According to Bruce Levine on ESPN 1000 , the Cubs are working on signing lefty reliever John Grabow to a multi-year deal worth between $6.5 million and $7.5 million. Agent Paul Kinzer represents Grabow, who would be the team's left-handed set-up man and a possible back-up closer in the event Carlos Marmol is injured or needs a day off. Jesus, really? Grabow as our set-up guy? Grabow closing games?...

Patrick Reusse of the Star Tribune has an idea:2. Get out from under the last half of (Joe) Nathan's large contract (two years, $22.5 million) by trading him. The Cubs might take him.That's a lot for a closer, and the Cubs seem content with the much cheaper Carlos Marmol (despite his control issues).
