So those of you who wouldn't trade Prior and Wood, wouldn't you rather have Hudson or Mulder or Webb or Cliff Lee or Sabbathia and say Halladay? Or go after Pedro or Schilling? I'd take Mulder for Wood straight up.
I'm sorry, I see Clement and Zambrano as the studs you need. Wood is great but his ERA climbs also. Prior I would trade now for another young stud while I could get high value in return.
As for Sammy, trade him to Philly for that 1B they have in the minors that's a hr freakazoid or as I said before try to get Blalock from Texas. Sammy might be better off as a DH in the AL.
Sign Delgado and trade Lee for some relief pitching.
I think those are the Cubbies only chances after this year. I love Prior and Wood but their injuries worry me, especially Prior's and when you have a manager that doesn't know how to handle pitchers, like Baker, those "simple" injuries can turn more serious fast.
Of course I'm a big Cincy/ Cleveland fan sooooo......
