Cubs off-season thread....

According to Yahoo!Sports-Rumors, the Cubs could name Steve Stone the new GM.


That may be the best move the Cubs have ever made. Stone knows basbeall and has a great mind for the game. I would be very impressed if the Cubs ever made that move. And I strongly believe that Cubs fans would be in heaven.

Old news, but Stone denied this report the next day.

According to the Denver Post, the Cubs are expected to offer Kazuo Matsui a three-year contract.

The newspaper reports that the Rockies will likely let him leave if that's the case, which would be the right move. For all the talk of Matsui's dramatic improvement since leaving the Mets, he batted just .249 with a measly 638 OPS away from Coors Field in 2007.

This makes no sense to me. Where would DeRosa play? The Cubs need real OFers so I don't see them moving DeRosa to LF. Dumb rumor.
