    F. Beltran and B. Harris for Garciaparra (and Murton; granted Nomar didn't work out, but it was absolutely the right move at that time)

    Makes you think we should trade Pie........
    Although he did turn down a Prior for Bedard and Tejada deal, which is horrible in retrospect, but at the time I was very glad he passed on that.

    Must have been a slow month/year for Rookies. Obviously that one didn't pan out

    Choi just wasn't the same after he got knocked out in that collision with Kerry Wood.

    I did not know this until I read my Trib this morning....

    A Cub player has been named Rookie of the Month for April only once before.

    Who was it?

    HINT: Let's hope Soto's career has a better trajectory than this answer.

    Soto Named Rookie of the Month for April

    Well deserved I would say, he has gone way beyond my expectations. I just want a catcher who can play defense and not be helpless at the plate, we haven't had that combination since....maybe that 1 season of Rick Wilkins?

    With Fuku finishing second, maybe the Cubs can pull a 1-2 for Rookie of the Year voting! And hopefully they would have better careers than the LAST time we pulled that off!
