Yesterday we noted that the Cubs were checking in on Raul Ibanez. Today Scott Miller of CBSsports.com says the Cubs are also looking into the possible acquisition of David DeJesus and Brian Giles. Let's compare:
David DeJesus: .301 BA, 10 HR, 55 RBI, 51 R, 9 SB
Brian Giles: .293 BA, 5 HR, 35 RBI, 47 R, 1 SB
Raul Ibanez: .279 BA, 15 HR, 62 RBI, 50 R, 1 SB
DeJesus has the best numbers this year, Raul Ibanez has the most power, and Brian Giles is the most consistent. If the Cubs acquired any of these players they would be paying probably more than the worth. I understand the need of a lefty bat, but with Fontenot playing well in spot duty and Daryle Ward still serviceable, I just don't think it will be worth the prospects.
