Orioles President of Baseball Operations Andy MacPhail said he expects all to be quiet on the Brian Roberts trade front until teams are well into their spring training game schedules. MacPhail has said Roberts has drawn interest from several clubs. Multiple reports have said the Cubs have shown particular interest.

What is it with the Orioles and the Cubs? Neither team can ever pull the trigger. No wonder why they live in mediocrity.

If the Cubs get him they will bench Theriot or maybe not start Pie and put derosa in the outfield

Well BiggestCubsFan:

I want to agree with you, but I can't. Yet. They COULD be better than them if they put it together without injuries, but I might as well keep that to myself because all in our right mind know we wont have an injury-less season.

As for Brian Roberts,
For the love of HUMANITY, EITHER DO THE TRADE OR LEAVE IT BE! Can you imagine what Roberts is thinking right now?

They'd never put DeRosa in the outfield unless Fukudome got hurt because he cant play CF and Soriano has LF locked up. Plus, Theriot (or, The Riot as I like to call him) is a tremendous talent who should be playing everyday. Cubs should roll the dice on Pie and Theriot this season, and offer DeRosa and Howry for Roberts, then let Marmol close. Dude was ace last year. So much better than DUMPster.
