Roberts

[Post Count Padder]

Are we ready for this again?

 

Ready for more Brian Roberts-to-the-Cubs rumors? Here's a little speculation via Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun:

 

Schmuck surmises that the Cubs might try to recover some of the offensive production that they lost in Mark DeRosa's departure by once again going after Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts. The Cubs just signed Aaron Miles, who is a fine utility infielder and occasional pinch-hitter, but he'd be an offensive and defensive liability as an everyday starter.

NO!!!!!!!! (there's multiple threads about this already) :)

Roberts is being talked about in the Derosa trade thread. While typically, this may be worthy of its own thread, I don't think anyone is ready to go down this road again. Besides, Hendry did say that Roberts was a NO yesterday.
