When do the Cubs start selling?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I guess the real question is, do we really have anything anyone would want aside from Ted Lilly? The guys who are producing are all cheap, being Byrd, Colvin, Cashner, Marshall, and Marmol, and theres really ne reason to get rid of any of them, with the possible exception of selling high on Byrd for the right prospect package. I suppose some teams could be intersted in Silva, but up until this year, hed been so bad for so long that I cant see teams taking too much of a risk on him, maybe some partial salary relief.

Maybe Dempster, but that's a long shot. Nady likely has some value. They could probably still move Lee if he waived his NTC provided they didn't expect to get too thrilling a return. Fukudome should have some reasonable value so long as the Cubs pick up some of his contract.

Had Wellington Castillo panned out as some people expected him to, Soto could be a good sell high candidate right about now, but at this point, Castillo projects to be a backup catcher at best and replacing a catcher who can hit is just not easy.

Teams are likely going to be willing to pay more the closer we are to the trade deadline so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to unload right now. Start the dumping in a month.

There's not been a cheap productive player alive that WSR hasn't wanted to trade.

Who thought Castillo would be good enough to replace Soto's production?

 

I must have missed that day.
