My favorite Cub is back.

Thank you. My favorite backup defensive spot-starting outfielder is back.

$3MM or less, we hope

So OF depth is:

Soriano
Byrd
DeJesus
Reed

Then...

Campana
LaHair
Some other scrubs I don't care about

I think they're keeping Brett Jackson down to suppress MLB service time so he doesn't attain Super Two. He'd probably be up by June or whenever they trade Byrd (if that's the plan).

I really want to see BJax, but nothing wrong with letting him get a little more minor league experience, can't hurt too much, other than AAA pitching being rather devoid of pure talent as opposed to AA.

Cool
