Analysis
Cubs trade for Bill Mueller
This is a solid move for the Cubs. Mueller is not a headlines guy but instead a guy
who brings stability. He will hit for a decent
average and play well above average at third
base. One could call him a poor man’s Mark
Grace when it comes to his overall performance,
however it is more important to have that type of
player at third base, and get a big bat at first. Giving up Worrell could only be considered a good
move though if they sign Turk Wendell or John
Franco, which they are trying to do.
