I really don't know if either of those would get you where you want to be either. Part of me thinks that given the moved Hendry has made, the only option right now is to stay the course and hope for the best. I know that's not encouraging.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You say that, and I think it has a lot to do with Cubs fans perceptions right now. But, it's very possible that the Cubs could be the cream of the NL this year. If Soriano hits 35-40 HRs next year, Soto puts up an .800 OPS, and players stay relatively healthy, just think about what this team could do.
If a new GM comes in, I think there's a 95% chance that the new person, whoever it may be, would try to contend to the best of his/her ability. There's no other way to do it. This team is not that bad off. If they don't look promising at the trade deadline, they can always unload then. It's just silly though to think the 2010 Cubs are done before we even start the year.

I fully agree with this. If the position players stay healthy, I think we'll be fine offensively. I don't even think we should bother with the free agent stroke CFs that are available. Try to swing a trade for a right fielder or just wait it out.
