Carrie Muskat's latest is up at Cubs.com.
Sounds, to me, like the Roberts deal is dead
reports out of Baltimore are that Orioles general manager Andy MacPhail has very specific requests ... The Cubs don't need a second baseman because they have Mark DeRosa
Translation: He's demanding players we won't part with.
Center field is wide open
As for center field, the Cubs head into Spring Training with Felix Pie and Sam Fuld contending for the starting spot. There is another candidate ... Oneri Fleita, the Cubs player development director, said the reports he received were that Cedeno looked like a natural in center
Cedeno has no more options, and is making a case to back-up at short and platoon (gasp) in center. Not that I'm a fan of that, but it kinda sounds that way.
Marmol rocks
in the Dominican playoffs currently under way, Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol has 11 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings in six games for Licey, while Pie is batting .296 (8-for-27) in seven games for the same team.
What she doesn't mention is that Pie hasn't played lately.
