From the Cubs Brickyard: (Chicago, IL) - It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Christmastime. It’s a time for carols, hot cocoa, candy canes, and Christmas parties. It’s also a time for giving and receiving thoughtful gifts that try to capture just what the other person was looking for.
Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry was looking forward to Christmas. But when he told friends and family what he really wanted for Christmas, he probably could have phrased it a bit more artfully.
At a holiday gathering last week, with his closest friends and family members looking on, Hendry recounted an exciting, but ultimately disappointing year for his Cubs. And then someone asked what Jim would want for Christmas, considering how things turned out. With eggnog in hand, Hendry said something he’d later regret.
"Gosh, if I could have anything for Christmas this year, it would probably be Jake Peavy. Wrapped up all nice and tight with a pretty bow on top."
Read the rest for what happened to Hendry and Jake Peavy...

I'd rather have Brian Roberts instead. But with the Aaron Miles signing it likely will never happen. Miles will be a fan favorite but it was a huge blunder to not go after Roberts instead. Peavy is a luxury they can do without if the price remains too high.

The Cubs really have in place what they need to get another top line starter, but before I do that why not give Samarjiza a chance. If that doesn't work then go out and get someone. I think that Roy Oswalt and/or Roy Halladay will be available by July.
