So I give GD enough flack about the Cubs so I decided to take them in EA's Dynasty Mode on MVP07 =). So just a little note, on my team it's either you're fast or you can hit the ball out, there is no exceptions.

4/3/07
Took over Cubs Organization after Off-Season.

Transactions:
Traded LF Cliff Floyd, SP Rich Hill to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for RF Delmon Young, SP J.P. Howell (Part of a youth movement and Delmon Young is a younger Alfonso Soriano imo. J.P. is 21 and hopefully can be good in relief)

Traded SP Mark Prior to the Detroit Tigers for RP Joel Zumaya, SS Tony Giarantano (Again with youth, and Zumaya will be the Closer, Tony went to AA)

Traded C Michael Barrett to the Atlanta Braves for C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, RP Joey Devine (Youth again, I like Salty personally, and Devine was because Barrett was better overall than Salty)

Traded SS Cezar Izturis, 2B Mark DeRosa to the New York Mets for SS Jose Reyes (Funny Story I was just kidding, I didn't think they'd accept it!)

Traded 1B Daryle Ward, RF Jacque Jones, RP Ryan Dempster to the Los Angeles Dodgers for 3B Andy LaRoche, 2B Tony Abreu, 3B Blake DeWitt (LaRoche will be in a Backup role for Lee and Ramirez Abreu for Theriot and Reyes DeWitt went to AA)

Traded SP Wade Miller to the Seattle Mariners for RP Arthur Rhodes (I needed a Left-Hander in the Bullpen to setup)

Ok, I moved it. The more threads in gaming, the better. Anyway, hy the hell were there so many home runs and sb's? You have this on rookie mode?

All-Star, and Aaron Harang is slow to the plate, One of Reyes homeruns was supposed to be an error but they didn't score it that way so he got a HR instead. And with my eye, I can hit an inside pitch out of the park R or L so I took his High Inside Fastballs out of the park with Ramirez
