Re: Rebuilding the Cubs
I don't understand why you want to get rid of Ramirez. He's coming off back to back years of .920+ OPS and he just turned 28. He's slumped this year but he's beginning to pick it up. I also don't see the why the Cubs shouldn't keep Walker. He puts up a .350 OBP every year, which is the Cubs main problem and he's pretty cheap. Get a big bat for LF next year, let Pierre leave, bring up Pie and keep everyone else and the offense will be fine.
1.Pie
2.Walker
3.Lee
4.Ramirez
5.C. Lee or another big FA bat
6.Barrett
7.Jones
8.Cedeno
is a pretty good lineup.
As for the pitching, I have no idea what to do there.
