Unless the Cubs are going to do a serious Marlins-type sell-off, it doesn't make sense to trade away a guy who has been the team's best player for years. He's 32, and his production will probably never match his age 26-31 production, but if the team plans on competing next year, it'd be an odd move to ditch him.
Needless to say, we'd also be selling him at his absolute nadir, thus getting zip in return, and probably having to eat a big chunk of change. Vitters isn't ready yet...it just doesn't make sense, unless Ricketts wants to seriously slash payroll, and start all over again.
And I'm not against that, per se. But I can't see it happening.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
