This is from a Sox fan, and I posted this as a note on facebook and on the Sox thread too. I guess you can just bypass the Sox stuff and go right to the Cubs. This is just my opinions, not trying to be a jacka*s or anything. Plus, I would like for cubs fans to answer a few of those questions, espically the

Some whisperings of Randy Wells' ROY potential starting to stir. All Cubs fans know that his win total should be higher, but it is what it is. I have rapidly become a fan of Wells, and was recently talking about the pitching staff with some family and we decided to rank th

I read the Scott Miller take that the Cubs are the clear class of the Central Division and respectfully disagree. I thought going into this season that St. Louis was going to be very difficult to beat if they get any pitching. Even with the loss of Chris Carpenter t

I'm reading that Paul Sullivan went up to Carlos Zambrano with something like "according to a recent poll, 57.2% of Cubs fans want you traded..." To which, Carlos responded something along the lines of "fine trade me to Boston."

Josh Vitters is the only cub on the list. Anyone know how close he is to the majors? Feel like I've been hearing about him forever.
