Jacque Jones and Craig Monroe are gone. Daryle Ward is coming back. The Cubs pick up Omar Infante in a trade with the Tigers for Jacque Jones. This is a good move. Jacque Jones contributed some key hits over a stretch this summer. But, since the Cubs brought him in, he’s been a disappointment. He’s a strike out looking for at-bat. He plays moderately good defense, but overall he wasn’t a great addition. Omar Infante is a solid, young utility infielder.
Shipping Craig Monroe to the Twins couldn’t have happened soon enough. Not that he wasn’t ok, but the Cubs already have a crowded outfield. They don’t need Monroe to crowd it even further. The deal with the Twins was for a player to be named later, and frankly, it doesn’t matter who it was. Hopefully they’ll pick some young farm hands while the Twins grab some insurance for possibly losing their All Star centerfielder Torii Hunter.
