I love that national media types and local media white sox supporters such as Dan McNeil, Jonathon Hood, and Steve Rosenbloom are screaming about how the Cubs' offseason is already a failure and the Soriano, Ramirez, and DeRosa deals are misguided because they haven't addressed starting picthing. Its not even December yet, the Winter Meetings haven't taken place, and the best pitchers are still on the freakin' mkt! Hendry can't make them sign before they are ready, and all indications are that he has been in touch with the most desireable (relative term) picthers on the mkt. Just as important: their lineup sucked as much as their pitching did last year. I wish those guys would shut the hell up and concentrate on the fact that their team hasn't done a thing to improve itself yet it has major holes in CF, LF, and in the pen, is aging at just about every other position, and has so much money invested in its underachieving starting staff that it has little financial flexibility at this point. Give us a break.
