Bruce Levine is reporting that a deal with John Grabow should be completed today for two years and nearly 7.5 million. I had expressed my indifference in the past over resigning Grabow. Oh sure, his ERA has been pretty good the last two years, but with a BB/9 rate near 5 last year and 4.15 for his career, I don't think anyone would really miss him if he got away. I was asked in the comments yesterday...

Word in the rumor mill (thanks MLB TradeRumors, Paul Sullivan, Jon Heyman, etc.!) is that the Tigers may be willing to listen to offers for Curtis Granderson. Unless God hates us all, the Cubs are sure to at least kick the tires. How often can you kill two birds with one stone (leadoff hitter and lefty pop) in these times of economic hardship? Oh, we would bring up the economics of it all, wouldn't...

I was thinking recently of who the Braves will trade one of their starting pitchers to since they will be trading one of them this offseason, or so they say. It's obvious that Derek Lowe will be hard to deal due to his contract (although all the experts thought he was a good value last offseason), and the Braves would be crazy to trade either Jair Jurrgens or Tommy Hanson . So Javier Vazquez is the...

Fangraphs is once again going to list the projections on their player pages from a variety of sources, Bill James , CHONE, Marcel....maybe more.

Age is their 2010 playing age. You can click on their names to get their full...

Here are my “2010 Cubs Top 15 Prospects.” This is just my opinion based mostly on my own observations of the players, and I'm sure many of you have your own idea of who should be where. I probably tend to place greater weight on players at the higher levels because I believe it means something to actually prove yourself by performance on the field against better and/or more-advanced competition,...

It's the end for the 2009 Arizona Diamondbacks. View full size photo uploaded October 4, 2009 Well, it's a win. Our Arizona Diamondbacks end the season by winning the final game and the series, but the Cubs never really put up much during the afternoon. It wasn't a game that was anything but an expression of pride, with neither team going to the playoffs, and everyone on the field seemed ready to be...

Here is a question from one Joe P. Hutchinson from Glendale, Arizona, in Paul Sullivan's mailbag: In regards to the reader and your agreement regarding dumping Hoffpauir, Jake Fox and then go after Chone Figgins, are you kidding? We develop players and then discard them so we can overpay for free agents such as Soria no; Fukudome and Bradley'?!! It's a shame when even our very own Cubs beat writer...

Bruce Miles wrote up his game story today with the following opening line: It might be too late for this year, but nobody wants to talk about next year on the Cubs. Well, when Chris Iannetta homered in the 11th inning for the Colorado Rockies last night, the Cubs were eliminated. All that's left to talk about is next year. Even this season's last 5 games won't show much. Kevin Gregg and Rich Harden...
