The Cubs should try to get the media hype machine to trash good, undervalued players on other teams and then trade for them. Here I'll start.

Hanley Ramirez doesn't call his mother but once a month.

I hear Chase Utley didn't "get" Arrested Development.

The worst thing about trading Zambrano is that the Cubs are the only team in the league too stupid to realize how valuable he is, so they're all but guaranteed to get fleeced.

Also, Evan Longoria shotguns beers with TDubbs.

I wish the Cubs would stop listening to the hooplehead fans and writers that want Z traded no matter what. Because if they trade him for pennies on the dollar, of which would certainly happen, these same morans are going to wonder why the Cubs are no longer contenders.

If the Cubs trade Z, I'll just commit seppuku.

It'll be justified because of whatever garbage the Cubs receive in return. And it's more then likely going to be garbage.

Odds he gets traded for a second baseman?

Since this thread evolved into "The Cubs should get a really good pitcher" I'm going to put this here.

Latest indications are that Brandon Webb most definitely needs surgery and will miss the majority, if not all, of the 2010 season.
The D-Backs have an $8 million option on him for 2010 that is now in jeopardy of being picked up as they are very budget conscious.

So, what I'm saying is...the Cubs should get Brandon Webb.

He'll be expensive, and he'll have to sit out a year, but his arm problems fit well with Hendry's MO.

That is all.

Just wanted to self-bump and move this from the Peavy thread.
Heard an interview with Webb this AM where he said either the D-Backs pick up the option for next year or he's going to be a free agent, meaning he is not going to negotiate with them.

Also, it sounds like he won't miss all of 2010, but should be ready June-ish.

And then there's this from USA Today's baseball writer.

Translation?

It's gonna hai.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.
