The Cubs need a lefty corner outfielder way before any need for high priced starter. The Cubs had the second lowest ERA in the NL and the second lowest runs allowed total in the Senior Circuit as well. I'm hoping Jim Hendry will pull off a trade with "Rays" to acquire Carl Crawford. A lefty with speed and a great OBP that would fit nicely in the 2 hole and be a bone fide leadoff guy, which is needed since Soriano doesn't really hit like one. At $4.2 million a year he's the highest paid player on a low budget team. That's a bargain for the Cubs who could pay that and have young propects/major league ready players to trade. Matt Mutron, a good young inexpensive hitter with a suspect glove that's unable to find a regular spot on the right-heavy Cubs, might be a good fit for the Rays.
