Not Castro and not Jeff Samardzija. Anthony Rizzo has impressed even me, even with the short time in the majors. Anthony Rizzo has arguably more raw power than Bryce Harper and Mike Trout.

Rizzo and newly acquired prospect Jorge Soler should be the future of the Cubs offense.

There has been several rumors about that Garza will be traded to a number of teams.

Samardj.iza is terrible lol.

Castro shows flashes of brilliance but his defense needs to improve.

For some prospects, which could be used to build around in the AAA. The Cubs could have the best AAA team in the entire MLB by the end of this season. trolololololololol.

The reason why the Cubs have been progressingly bad has been the contracts. This is the first year that the Cubs can actually trade off their overpriced contracts because most of them are to the end of the contract.

Soriano has been getting worse after every season, but got paid the same for less production. He will be traded this year.

It has to be an American league contender, because his defense is... Well, I believe I can field a ball better than Soriano.

I really think we need to dump off Garza and Fonzie. We need pitchers, imo. We also need a second and third baseman, as much as I love Darwin Barney (not a fan of ian stewert and valbuena)

Cubs could be contenders soon.

Second? Soriano can't play any position at this point in his career, unless the position starts with a D and ends with a H.

Here are the big contracts the Cubs have made.

Soriano $19M
Dempster $14M
Garza $9.5M
Carlos Marmol $7.3M

Not to mention that the Cubs are practically paying for Zambrano to play for the Marlins at steady cost of $19M.

Zambrano is a clubhouse ruiner.

Alfonso should be traded to an AL team, possibly the Rays?

Look at his fielding. He pretty was the soul reason why the Giants swept the Cubs in the 4 game series.

He doesn't have the range to play the infield anymore, and in the outfield he taking terrible routes to the ball.

To make a long story short. The Cubs overpaid for him, and even with his recent success it's not worth $19M a year.
