John Perrotto at Baseball Prospectus:
"The Braves are emerging as the team most likely to trade for Uggla after the Giants decided to sign free-agent infielder Mark DeRosa than deal for the second baseman. … The Cubs are considering free agents Rick Ankiel, Marlon Byrd, and Scott Podsednik to play center field, but they also have interest in trading for the Rays’ Fernando Perez. …"
Sorry about the potentially misleading headline. As a Jeff Baker owner, I'd prefer the Cubs not address 2B and let the former Clemson HR champ get a season of full-time ABs.
As for the three potential centerfielders, I am having a hard time believing any serious contender would want Rick Ankiel on anything more than a one-year deal. Marlon Byrd intrigues me as he offers power.
Why Byrd hasn't got more press this off-season puzzles me.
