Let's get him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That depends. I'm hearing things such as Vitters, Castro, Jackson, and Theriot for Granderson. That would be ridiculous.
If the Cubs took on all of Granderson's money owed (which is supposedly a big motivator in them wanting to trade him) and had to part with a package like Jackson, Fox, and Flaherty I think I could live with that.
As much as I would love to have Granderson on this team, I think the organization needs to start building the team differently. They need to start bringing in home grown talent and fill in the holes with high priced talent, not the other way around. It's for that reason that I'm reluctant to trade away prospects. Not because I think Vitters, or Castro, or anyone else will be more valuable down the road. But for the fact that we cannot sign every roster spot to a $10+ million/year deal.
