Garza is still here? Why is Garza still here?

Cubs relying more on sabermetrics
Crunching numbers is one of Theo Epstein's specialties, and his reliance on statistical analysis is one of the main reasons Chairman Tom Ricketts hired him away from Boston. During the news conference announcing Jim Hendry's firing in the summer of 2011,...

Deals with Jackson, Villanueva shore up rotation
Edwin Jackson gambled, and he won. The question for the Cubs is whether he and Carlos Villanueva will win too much next season? I wouldn't worry about it if I was President Theo Epstein or general manager Jed Hoyer. They still should be sitting pretty...

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...

Peavy does all he can
Is that all there is? Jake Peavy, the guy who was going to play the role of Jose Contreras on the next great White Sox team, may have pitched his last game at U.S. Cellular Field in a home uniform. It was a big game, maybe the biggest of the season,...
