With Soto doing so well in the Minors, will the Cubs try to put Jason Kendall on the market in the offseason to make way for Koyie Hill and Soto to take the reins behind the plate? -- Zach L., Mokena, Ill. The Cubs don't have that option of putting Kendall "on the market" because the veteran is not signed for next season, and will be a free agent. Soto, 24, has had an impressive season at Triple-A Iowa, both offensively and behind the plate. He arrived in Spring Training this year in the best shape of his career, and he has to do the same in 2008 to win the job. Henry Blanco, by the way, is signed through 2008. Did people actually watch Koyie Hill ????
