Cut The Fat

By: Clay

Peyton Manning chants "cut that meat", I chant "cut the fat". "Cut" meaning dispose of and "fat" pertaining to Carlos Silva.

What the Cubs got out of him last years was as good as it's gonna get. By dropping him now the Cubs will send a message to the rest of the team, No Bullshit! They've put up with alot of crap from Zambrano but frankly, he is owed too much money and his upside is to great to just dump. Silva, however, has a bad contract and basically feasted on weak ass NL hitting through out the first half of the 2010 season.

By getting rid of Silva, the cubs open up the fourth and fifth spots in the rotation for the younger guys like Cashner, Diamond and Coleman. I'll take a chance on that group than be weighed down by Silva. Look, the Cubs got what they wanted by moving Milton Bradley but now it's time to just cut their losses all together.

Besides, the Cubs are planning to retool for this season so they can look enticing to Pujols or any other free agent first bagger next offseason. Do you think Pujols is gonna want to be involved with a team that constantly puts up with bullshit from its players? Look at some of the pitching staffs Pujols has played with. He can win with Dempster, Zambrano, Garza and a couple young guns. Hell, he can win with Jeff Suppan, Jason Marquis and Jeff Weaver!

So Hendry, cut the fat would ya?
