Pujols to Cubs? Probably not; Fielder? Maybe

By Bruce Miles
Dec 6, 2011 9:22 PM - The Cubs spent much of Tuesday trying not to comment on reports that they had made an offer to free-agent first baseman Albert Pujols. Prince Fielder is still lurking, and he might be the better option. New manager Dale Sveum met the media at the winter meetings in Dallas.

Doing the passing were retired managers Lou Piniella, Joe Torre, Cito Gaston and Bobby Cox, all of whom were honored by Commissioner Bud Selig during a special panel discussion.

A true Hall of Fame career for Santo

By Bruce Miles
Dec 4, 2010 9:05 PM - But thanks to the negligence years ago of the baseball writers and more recently of the Veterans Committee, Santo's situation has been more of an open-and-shutout case. Santo never had much of a chance with the writers, but he came tantalizingly close to enshrinement in recent years by the Veterans Committee.

Dec 3, 2010 5:14 PM - Ron Santo was the toughest human being I've met in sports. He also was the most genuine and among the most caring and compassionate people I've been around. Santo died late Thursday, but he gave death everything it could handle. Really, Santo could have been gone many years ago and many times over. But he kept battling.
Dunn a great fit for Sox and the Cell

By Bruce Miles
Dec 2, 2010 7:05 PM - Adam Dunn figures to be a monster signing for the White Sox. With the way the ball carries at U.S. Cellular Field, the left-handed hitting Dunn should have no trouble hitting 40 homers for the Sox, provided he stays healthy.

Of course, the one danger is that you can get too close to the forest for the trees, and that's something all of us in this crazy business have to guard against. You want to build some empathy, but you don't want to get too close.
