Rangers hitting coach to Cubs?
The Cubs have run-scoring issues. They can not simply throw money at the problem, at least not in the usual ways. This does not mean they don't have options, however. One of them may be to fill their vacancy for a hitting coach with the best guy in that position, Rudy Jaramillo. If the Rangers allow him to become a free agent when his contract ends at the end of the month, as it appears they might, the Cubs should go above the usual hitting coach pay scale to bring him to Wrigley Field.

Nelson-Jackson feud heating up
After what sounded like a terse meeting with Don Nelson and Larry Riley, then a long practice, running once again with the first team, Stephen Jackson spoke at length and colorfully about his current feelings. He again stopped short of saying the words "trade me" but left no doubt he wants out more than ever. Now there's a massive chill in his relationship with Nelson, and SJax maintained his right to continue to speak his mind, and, of course, possibly keep getting fined and suspended.
