I know people every year hate the "It will be like trading for an All-Star" crap, but this year, I really think that's been the case for us with Aramis coming back, Soriano hitting after basically taking 2 months off out there, Harden looking like his 08 self of late rather than the #5 pitcher we've seen most of the year, Dempster returning, Soto coming back next week, etc.
The Cubs have the ability to improve more from within than any team in baseball this year and it's started to happen this month. All of those things I mentioned are bigger than any additions other teams can make. Obviously adding a Freddy Sanchez or Mark Teahen along with the a left-handed arm in the pen would be awesome, just saying. And I think we will indeed add a lefty arm in the pen.
