EPSTEIN FOR CASTRO OR CASHNER?

If recent reports are true, Theo Eptein will be the Cubs next general manager. This would put the Red Sox in a position to ask for something big in return. If I were the Red Sox I would ask for Starlin Castro, the Cubs young shortstop who led the National League with 207 hits.

Castro, who would add to an already stellar Red Sox lineup, might even get better because he would be able to hit balls off the green monster. Also, his defense will improve over time, which will make him a five tool threat in whatever lineup he's penciled in to.

If this option fails, then the Sox should ask for Andrew Cashner, the Cubs twenty five year old, hard throwing righty, who could either become a top of the rotation starter or a top notch reliever.

His talent became apparent when he posted an ERA of 1.69 in seven games for the Cubs last season.

As for the Cubs, if they want to end their 103 year drought, Epstein is the gut to put that championship team together.
