Craig Monroe

If Monroe is avaliable, would the Cubs be interested?

 

The Tigers and Yankees talked about Monroe, says today's NY Newsday.

My take: Monroe is a good player, but I see him as more of a LF/CF than RF, so I'll probably pass. However, if we can't get any of our other targets, I'd rather have Monroe than someone like Jacque Jones or Juan Encarnacion.

I would be pretty upset with Jones, Monroe or Encarnacion unless a guy like Manny is in the other corner outfield spot.
