Rumor around Chicago is that The Yankees want Felix Pie and I think Rich Hill in return, which wouldn't be such a bad deal for The Cubbies. For years I've heard people complaining because The Cubs keep getting rid of their farm guys for established veterans, but I don't mind it. I don't want a chance of winning in five years, I want to win now. I like The Yankees model of letting a guy go through his growing pains on a small market club, and then picking him up when he becomes a stud. For years I railed against the "haves and have nots" system in baseball, but now I'm changing my tune. If that's what the owners and the league want, then a major market team like The Cubs should take advantage of it.
