So there have been a number of names thrown around from the Cubs, I'm just wondering how likely they are to be traded. It appears that either Hendry is asking more than he should for them, opposing teams don't want to give up anything or there's money impasses. So what are the chances the following people get traded:
Lilly - I think it's nearly 95%, but the longer this goes on, the less likely I think the Cubs are to get a decent return.
Theriot - I'd say there's about a 25% chance. With the Rockies falling apart, that chance is shrinking daily.
Fukudome - 25% - Depends upon how much of his pay the Cubs are willing to eat.
Gorzelanny - 10% - His name has been tossed about a little, generally amongst teams looking for a low cost, end of the rotation guy.
Zambrano - 5% - I can't see anyone trading for him right now. Plus it would be horrible to trade him at his lowest value.
DLee - 0% - He already yanked the carpet from under one trade. Obviously, he's not going anywhere.
