Hopefully so.

       The Daily Herald - Bruce Miles - said the Cubs are interested in
Granderson but have absolutely no interest in giving up their top prospects for
him. Hopefully, that is correct.

The trouble is that he is said to be offering a "prospect-heavy" package for
Granderson- possibly  including either Starlin Castro or Josh Vitters, or both.

Cubs traded Aaron Heilmann to the D-Backs for two middle-range prospects. Not a
bad trade. Heilmann was pretty ineffective last year in the bullpen, plus it
frees up some salary.

The Daily Herald - Bruce Miles - said the Cubs are interested in Granderson but
have absolutely no interest in giving up their top prospects for him. Hopefully,
that is correct.

Castro's the one I'd be really pissed about.

Last year Jim Hendry single-handedly ruined the Cubs' season and turned a
two-time defending division champion into an also-ran. He may be on the
point of ruining the next decade.

Hendry is reported to be "aggressively" pursuing Detroit center fielder
Curtis Granderson. I'd love to have Granderson (Byrd of Texas is said to be
"plan B"). The trouble is that he is said to be offering a "prospect-heavy"
package for Granderson- possibly including either Starlin Castro or Josh
Vitters, or both.

If the Cubs trade either Castro or Vitters for Granderson- who is simply not
worth either of them- I'm done with them.

Although we're still in the middle of this year, I thought it might be wise to
throw this out while the subject still has our attention.

So what are your thoughts on how we should handle fantasy football in Grin and
Bear It next season? One big league, with the resulting dilution of talent?
Divisions, with significantly fewer teams? What we're doing now- four different
conferences, with playoffs only among the conference teams?

I'm not sure how much flexibility we'll have with the playoff structure. Yes, we
have a lot of time to make this decision, but if we don't make it intentionally
while the subject of fantasy football still has our attention, we might well
find ourselves not having made it next fall.
