Nice winter dream: Manny Ramirez as a Cub

MESA, Ariz. — It's never too early to dream about a fantasy lineup at Clark and Addison, so when Alfonso Soriano was asked Wednesday about the possibility of the Cubs signing free agent Manny Ramirez, his ears perked up.

"Here?" he said. "Manny Ramirez? He's the greatest hitter in baseball right now. Any team that gets him would be lucky."

If this ever happened I think I'd spontaneously combust.

A little disappointed in samardzija, but it's early spring training, and he will likely end up in the AAA rotation anyway. Just want to see his stuff progress, especially the change.

I need to find a way to listen to the game tomorrow.

I'm in Florida, so I may check out a BoSox game out here.

Can't wait for baseball to start already!!!
