Position analysis: Centering on DeJesus
In a perfect world, Brett Jackson would be the Cubs’ starting center fielder for 2013 and years to come. That was certainly the idea when Jackson was brought up from Triple-A Iowa in early August, but the former first-round draft pick fizzled in...

Cubs position analysis: Hole at the hot corner
The Cubs couldn’t find a way to replace Aramis Ramirez at third base this year, and have to go back to the drawing board in 2013. They tried Ian Stewart, Luis Valbuena and Josh Vitters for the most part, with Joe Mather filling in occasionally, and...Tags: Chicago Cubs, Minor League Baseball, Dale Sveum, Tyler Colvin, Baseball

Reader Q&A: Paul Sullivan's Cubs mailbag
I understand that the Cubs want to build the team the "right way" by building the farm system. What I do not understand is why they can't both build the farm system and try to build a winner right now. I think it is wrong to ask the fans who have waited...

Cubs can only improve in 2013 (but don't bet on it)
The Cubs were built to lose 100 games, so what was with the obsession to avoid it? The actual issue is losing 100 games and still not getting the top pick in the draft. So Cub. I can understand players not wanting to be a part of 100 losses. I...

Exciting prospects ... down the line for Cubs

Youthful mistakes contributing to mounting losses
The new Cubs regime has wiped the Jim Hendry era off the map over the last 10 months in one of the quickest and most telegraphed house cleanings in club history. Among the Hendry loyalists the Cubs waved goodbye to are Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Pena, Mike...Tags: Tyler Colvin, Colorado Rockies, Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Aramis Ramirez

Slump frustrates Cubs' LaHair
On June 14, Bryan LaHair was hitting .303 with 12 homers and 26 RBIs and was earning enough respect of peers to later be voted onto the All-Star team. In the six weeks since, LaHair has hit .202 with two home runs and five RBIs. His last homer was July...

Your Morning Phil: Quintana, Pierzynski, Vitters
Talking baseball while hoping the Bulls can find some instant offense in the draft: 1. The White Sox arrive in New York with the Yankees reeling from the kind of day every big league team dreads. They put CC Sabathia on the disabled list because of a...

Rizzo HR makes a winner of Cubs, Garza
Matt Garza did nothing to help his trade value in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Astros, but he didn't hurt it either with his fourth victory of the year, this one courtesy of Anthony Rizzo. With a month to go before the trade deadline, Garza (4-6)...
