Blake DeWitt, Alex Hinshaw, and Randy Wells...assuming they don't re-sign.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Ever since our Des Moines correspondent got a fancy haircut and bought a belt he feels that sort of thing is beneath him.

I don't know. But he has the stench of being non-tendered only to land in St. Louis to be a thorn in the Cubs' side for the next 5 years. I've seen it happen too many times.

I'm not sure about this, but I think Pen may have moved from Arizona.

Let's set our expectations low.  Very low.

QuoteCrane Kenney likely will have a dozen or so candidates from which to choose for Brenly's replacement in the booth, including Grace, ESPN's Rick Sutcliffe, CSN's Todd Hollandsworth and former Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, who has said he's not interested in broadcasting but probably could be persuaded to change his mind.
