Cubs Sign Koskie and are still looking...

The Chicago Cubs on saturday signed possible backup Corey Koskie to a minor league deal. Corey Koskie is a 35 right hander who can play a variety of positions such as third base and first base. He has the experience to be a leader in the club house. Koskie has not been on a major league team since 2006 when he suffered a major concussion. He now has a clean bill of health and will be participating in the World Baseball Classic for his country, Canada. I think this is a pretty good pick up to ensure that we have talent available that can backup our starters if one of them good down. The Cubs every year seem to have a major injury and need to rely on a backup to become full time for awhile. The Cubs also received word that three time World Series Champion, Curt Schilling, would be interested in joining the Cubbies or Tampa Bay Rays. Curt Schilling is known for his toughness. The most recent event involving his toughness is the historic "bloody sock" incident. I could see Schilling joining the Cubs in the way that John Lieber did last year but to me would be an obvious upgrade in talent and leadership. Schilling would be able to share his knowledge and leadership with the Cubs' young talent. I love to see the Cubbies searching hard for good, cheap talent that will help boost them to a World Series Championship.
