MLB Trade Rumors: The Six Chicago Cubs With the Most Trade Value

July 12, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

The All-Star break is fast approaching and it is safe to say that the Cubs should be sellers at this season's trade deadline. In my opinion, it's time for a good old fashioned fire sale. The Cubs have a very strong minor league system, and it could be made even stronger if they were to clean house and deal anyone of any value not named Colvin, Cashner, or Castro. So if we are in fact in full scale fire sale mode, here are the six Cubs that have the most value on the trade market, and should be dealt before the deadline ...

June 12, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

With such a rich and lengthy history, the Cubs have seen roughly 2,000 players don the Cubbie blue over the years. Because of that, I thought it would be fun to name who I feel are the top five players for all 26 letters of the alphabet, going by last name. To qualify, the player needs only to have played at least one game for the Cubs. However, only stats and accomplishments that took place while the player was with the Cubs will be considered. Because of that, you will not find someone like Dizzy Dean on the following list, despite the fact ...

June 3, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Now in their 135th season as a franchise, the Cubs have seen their fair share of great players come and go, and with those great players have come some memorable seasons. I have compiled a list of what I feel are the 10 best offensive seasons in Cubs history. I limited each player to only one season on the list, or it would have been mostly Sammy Sosa and Ernie Banks. With 135 years of history, it was tough to chose just 10, but it is hard to argue with anyone on the following list. That said, I encourage you to do ...

April 5, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

With Opening Day upon us, I decided to take a look around the league to see how many former Cubs will be suiting up elsewhere when the 2010 seasons starts. I only included players who saw major league action with the Cubs and only players who are on big league rosters to open this season. While the list is mostly made up of utility players and relievers, there are a handful of players I would not mind seeing in Cubs uniform once again, namely Michael Wuertz, Scott Downs, Jake Fox and Mark DeRosa. So on that, here are the former Cubs that will ...

The Top 10 Rookie Seasons in Chicago Cubs History

March 24, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

With so much talk in Cubs' camp this spring training surrounding top prospect Starlin Castro, I decided to take a look back at some of the top rookie performances in team history. I went back as far as 1947, which was the first year that the Rookie of the Year Award was handed out. I only looked at the stats that the player posted during their rookie season when ranking them. Therefore, this may be the only list you will ever see Jerome Walton ahead of Ernie Banks. With so much history, it is always possible that someone was over looked, and ...

Chicago Cubs: The 10 Worst Moments In Team History

March 15, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

There is no team in all of pro sports that shares the heart wrenchingly disappointing history that the Chicago Cubs possess. As everyone who has ever watched a baseball game is aware, the Cubs are 101 years removed from their last World Series title, and have not even played in the Fall Classic in 54 years. What follows is my take on the ten worst moments in the history of the team that seems to be perennially "waiting til next year". While it is hard to compare what is worse when it comes to something such as trading away a future ...

March 11, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

While the signings of guys such as Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley are in the forefront of Cubs fan's minds, there have still been a number of great moves made by the front office throughout the years. This article will look at the ten best free agent signings in team history. First, a few ground rules. I have only included signings made from the beginning of free agency in 1975 on, since prior to that the only free agent signings were ametuer free agents, as the draft did not exist yet. Thus, everyone was a free agent to start their careers. Also, ...
