Cubs make their hire

Friday morning brought a new regime for the fans at Clark and Addison as Dale Sveum was hired to take over an organization that needs all the help they can get. Cubs fans need to hope that Sveum comes in and does what needs to be done which would be the following.....

1. Sign Prince Fielder. A lot of Cubs fans want this and while the odds are this are slim to none, it is something that needs to be done to replace the power lost from Aramis Ramirez. He plays a solid first base and plays everyday, which is a huge positive. This should be priority 1 now that Sveum is the manager.
2. Trade Alfonso Soriano. Yes, it's a lot of money but send him to Houston to be their new DH for 2013. Let's Move On.
3. Keep Carlos Zambrano.....until he blows up again. This is the new plan for Theo and Sveum, keeping Big Z under control. He has one year left on his contract and if he has a brain, he will keep his mouth shut with the new guys in town. If he blows again though, trade him away.

Easy 3-step plan, maybe the fans on the North Side have something to cheer about again in 2012
