Cubs Acquire Monroe

[love_that_reefer]

Cubs acquired outfielder Craig Monroe and cash from the Tigers for a player to be named.
It seems they weren't satisfied with Matt Murton's performance. Monroe will help out in left field while Alfonso Soriano is out and then likely act as the right fielder against left-handers when Soriano returns. His power should give him a little value in NL-only leagues.

He provides some pop but they might be better off leaving DeRosa in the OF and Fontenot at second base. Just a thought.

Hey not a bad pick up for the Cubbies, I bet Monroe adds a little spark to the Cubs and gets them surging even more.
