Snork and Jason Hammel.

Since the Blue Jays weren't going to give up Stroman or Sanchez, Russell is a pretty good get.  Thought they'd target a pitcher as the centerpiece, but adding a 20-year-old consensus top 20 prospect regardless of position isn't a bad idea.  According to Jason Parks the Cubs will now have #3, #5, #6, and #18 in BP's midseason Top 50.  And Straily could be Travis Wood 2.0.

What do you morans think?

The Cubs won't need pitchers because they basically have all the hitters now, so how is anyone going to score against them?

Shortstops.  We need more shortstops.  You can never have too many shortstops. 

If someone can play shortstop, they can probably play anywhere else.

The best kid on every little league team plays shortstop, and I played right field.

Shortstops have good arms, ergo Baez, Russell, and Castro will pitch every fifth day. Obviously Chris Rusin is your ace so you only need one more starter, NBD.
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?

Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

NOT GONE YET! I'm not celebrating until he's not a Cub (hopefully a Cardinal who strikes out to end their season).

I always thought Don Kessinger was the Cubs' gold standard for an all-glove/no hit infielder. But then I looked, and Kessinger even out-hit Barney.
