Whispers around the Chi are calling for Marlon Byrd to join the Cubs if Granderson isn't going to be acquired.
There is also a chance that Mike Cameron would be an option.

Is Curtis Granderson worth a trade?
Well.. Is he? Will he be any better than in-house options like Colvin or Fuld?
The fact this his MLB tenure has proven he can't hit lefties is a problem.
The Tigers have already said they want a high level prospect for a player who is one dimensional on offense. He is a great defender, but his offense is on the negative.
He is a Chicago guy. Went to school in the city.
Maybe if he comes for a smaller package it would be ok. He's just not worth a big package to me.
Get Doc or not?
Rumors have been floating around about a possible Roy Halladay trade to the Cubs. There are multiple issues that have to be taken with this potential trade.
- The prospects we would have to send to Toronto. Odds are it would have to be Castro, Cashner and maybe more. Is that worth it?
- If we do get Halladay, can we sign him to an extension? We would have to make the trade worthwhile.
For the first time in years we have a good farm system that may actually net us the high end talent we need.
We should keep the kids. What do you think?

DeRosa not to be a Cub in the future.
Cubs are not interested in signing DeRosa, who is looking for a multiyear deal, is unsurprising. He was appreciated here in Chicago, but even though he brings versatility, the Cubs simply don’t have a spot for him. Between Jeff Baker, Mike Fontenot, Jake Fox, Andres Blanco, and (sigh) Aaron Miles, the Cubs have the coverage that DeRosa offers, if not quite the bat.
