Most unlikely new Cubs not talked about:

[NorthsideAvenger]

We know Hendry doesn't tip his hands to the media, so my guess is....there are players on his wishlist, that the media/fans haven't discussed. Millwood/Dunn/Burnett/Furcal/Giles', etc, etc...have been branded about, but my feeling is...Hendry is going to acquired somebody we haven't talked about, had no clue was available. So who is your guess, as the non-talked about possible new Cub?

 

My guess is:

 

RHP Kelvim Escobar

 

With Colon/Santana/Lackey/Washburn---I presumed will be re-signed as will Paul Byrd, in the rotation not to mention Donnelly and Shields as set-up, and Frankie as closer, it leaves one to wonder what role does that leaves Escobar? My guess is Escobar will be moved this offseason. Escobar for Fontenot/Welly or Leicester, perhaps?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Washburn and Byrd are free agents, while Escobar is under contract (and will be slated for the rotation again). I don't see why the Angels would trade him.

the phrase is "bandied about"
