The line-up is actually pretty decent--Murton, Pierre, Jones, Ramirez, Cedeno, Walker, Lee, and Barrett is solid for the NL.

Yeah, that would be fine if Dusty actually played those guys. Neifi Perez seems to find his way in the lineup at all times, as do other idiots replacing actual prospects.

or if the entire outfield didn't suck eggs.
essentially, the cubs are stuck with prior. he simply has to be healthy, they can't get much that would compare to the upside that is him 3 years ago.
basically, get enlightened management and managers and spend some of the ludicrous amounts of cash made on the Cubs on the STUDS and not jacque [censored] jones. get beltran, get pedro, whatever. take only the best guys on the market for more than a couple mil a year. Note how this "decent lineup" has a -.120 OBP or something ridiculous outside of DLee. Sadly the farm looks rather barren as well for impact players. Lots of high-upside pitching and zero position talent. Even the patterson trade looks stupid.
