I mentioned it in Transactions, but if the supposed big young player swap is with Cleveland, add Chisenhall, Masterson, and Brantley to our roster, its got potential, and youth as well.

What is this swap and for what reason would Cleveland be dealing away a quality young 3B?

Levine keeps mentioning we've talked to Cleveland about Chisenhall for a year now. If what has been mentioned about teams thinking Vitters WILL hit, just don't know his position, it makes a bit of sense. Cleveland is rebuilding, gain extra years of control, maybe add a solid younger prospect to it for them. Save them a bit of money too......I don't know. I just think signing Camp right now is a tad odd, considering the 40 man decisions we've got to make tomorrow. Couple that with the Levine rumor and our needs, I'm grasping......

ABTY7 also mentioned that there were talks about Chisenhall (and Jimenez) at the GM meetings. Just thought I'd add that on.

Oh well, Levine just [expletive] all over his own rumor, as he just tweeted Cubs not in discussions involving movement of any young players.

Well, then I want to wish everyone a Happy DFA And People Overreacting To Mediocre Prospects Being Left Vulnerable To Rule 5 Day tomorrow.

I don't pay much attention to Cubs rumors anymore. I just wait until something official is announced. It saves me from getting all worked up over nothing.
