Brian Moehler and Ted Lilly repeat their May match-up Friday night in Houston. As the Cubs were heading out on that road trip, I posted a preview of Moehler and his six pitches. The Cubs won that night, behind Geovany Soto's inside-the-park-but-really-a-regular home run.
Tim Dierkes linked to a Bruce Miles piece, the big takeaway is the Cubs still need a bat on the bench and another lefty reliever. Specifically, Brian Fuentes. I have no idea how well we match-up, trade-wise, with Colorado, but Fuentes is a worthy target. I took a look at Fuentes and Manny Corpas not too long ago. I'm sure Fuentes is still nasty.

I'd say the chances we can get Fuentes are slim based on reports of what they've been asking for. They asked the Yankees for Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy and relievers just have a ton of value on the trade market this time of the year. I'd like another reliever, but I'd rather try to find an undervalued one than give up what it would probably take to get Fuentes.
Good point about premium you pay for a reliever before the deadline. Not sure it would be too prohibitive to kill a deal, but, more likely, they'll get more from someone other than Hendry.
