The Infielders of 2007

The Cubs will have a new look up the middle this year with Cesar Izturis and Mark DeRosa taking over the duties from Ronny Cedano and Todd Walker.  The corners will be the familiar brothers of bash Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez.  It’s likely Ronny Cedeno or Ryan “the riot” Theriot or both make the team [...]
