With two titles in this century, the Red Sox have left their futility behind. But the Cubs are still looking for their first championship in more than a century.

Tim Hyers, Dodgers Assistant Hitting Coach : Spent the past seven years in the Red Sox organization, including as minor league hitting coordinator. Right now, there is just no reason to sign a high impact pitcher to big money , when you are not in a position to win in the next year. Randy Wells has been terrible this year. I should have cut the bum. If the Cubs run him out there net year they will not win.

Let one of the young guys get the starts. Zambrano is a real tough case. I thought they should have traded him last winter. People back then said the same things that were mentioned above. I understand he has great stuff but I seriously question if he will ever get his head right. Thought the same thing last winter. At least he had actual trade value last offseason before this mess. I do agree that we would probably just get stuck with some low level prospect and a large chunk of salary still on our books.

It really comes down whether or not management wants to get in rebuilding mode and just dump as many bloated contracts as possible. My gut feeling is that we should keep him as a back end rotation guy.

I feel like they should try Zambrano out as a closer. He did poorly as a middle reliever, but the pressure of the late innings and his ego need to be a superstar should motivate a better performance. And shorter outings and less innings might reinvigorate his power arm. The Cubs will never be able to trade him without eating his contract and they will probably struggle to get any return for him. He might be more valuable in trade if he shows success as a closer.

What to do with Marmol? Trade him while his value is highest.
