Cub wise, I'd still place the Bowa & Sandberg trade above it, but I do think it tops the Big Choi for D Lee deal.

They traded for a guy who hit 545 Homerums for them too

Cubs pitchers have a higher OPS (.653) than 11 other MLB teams, including the Mets and the White Sox.

The next closest team is +31.

BTW, if you remove every run scored against the Reds this season, the Cubs are still on top @ +32.

Oh look at who's 4th in the A.L. Jordan Zimmerman, the guy along with Lackey and Span I wanted the Cubs to sign. No shock to me.

Nowhere, because he is goddamn terrible.

Span over Fowler...for fucking shame.

Heyward is a fundamentals beast. Perfect slide on that steal. He's the Toews of the MLB.

Yeah, Denard Span is maybe a tad better than "bleck".

That said, for better or worse, I believe I'm on the record for wanting Zimmerman as well. I regret nothing.
