You know what would be a cool thing to do (and yeah, I know it sounds crazy): sign Sheets, and then use him and Harden to alternate starts all season long. Much lower chance of injury, both would likely kick ass, and they'd both be fresh for October. And if we have $12 mil for Peavy, why not 8-10 mil for Sheets?
OK, that's a KB idea, admittedly. I just don't know who else the Cubs can consider adding to the roster at this point. Well, I do, but we already traded him to Cleveland.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
