The Farns is Traded



Well Kyle Farnsworth's tenure as Cubs hurler is over. Good riddance. A 100 mph head case is now Detroit's problem. In return for the Farns and a PTBNL The Cubs will recieve big league pitcher Roberto Novoa(picture to the right) and infielder Scott Moore and Clarence"Bo" Flowers. While we have to just wait and see if this trade pans out for the Cubs. Yet, with the departure of Farnsie ( I'm trying to go through all his nicknames, if I'm missing any be sure to point them out) there are no "clubhouse cancers" left on the Cubs. Sammy and Farnsworth are gone, so now the Cubs can have that team unity that Dusty has been hoping for. No excuses left for the Cubs to not perform well and win the penant/division.
Without further ado, it is time to give out my preseason gold glove for third base.
3rd base- Scott Rolen
While he won the award last year he could have easily lost it to Adrian Beltre. This season Beltre is getting out the umbrela in Seatle, so Scott should definately win. With a canon for an arm, the range of shortstop, a .977 fielding, 10 errors, and 325 assists at third I see no reson why he should not win the gold glove this year.
