You&#8217;re going to lose when you let Greg Dobbs and Ricky Nolasco&#8217;s best impression as a hitter produce RBI&#8217;s. Awful game for Samardzija. Five runs charged through 3.2 innings of work.

He is blasting pitching in spring training, hitting an otherworldly .946 slugging percentage boosted by his Cactus League-leading six home runs. Undoubtedly, Soriano won’t hit for that, or even close to that slugging percentage over the course of the season, but other aspects [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theunfortunatecubsfan.com&#038;blog=20666067&#038;post=273&#038;subd=theunfortunatecubsfan&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Dempster is approaching his age 35 season, and one which will see him being paid $14M in the final year of his contract. Dempster said, “I’ve thought about that a lot. As you get older [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theunfortunatecubsfan.com&#038;blog=20666067&#038;post=270&#038;subd=theunfortunatecubsfan&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday, the Cubs agreed to a one year deal with former Pittsburgh pitch Paul Maholm that includes a club option. The Pirates were shopping Maholm around earlier in the offseason, but since he had a $10M option, no teams were giving in to the understandably light trade demands. Pittsburgh didn&#8217;t pick up his option, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theunfortunatecubsfan.com&#038;blog=20666067&#038;post=235&#038;subd=theunfortunatecubsfan&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
