Absolutely - Murton may very well continue to grow into a power
hitter - like Sandberg & Palmeiro.

Jones is signed for 2 more years. Only two teams had interest in
Jones when he was a free agent last season, so that contract may be
difficult to unload (but not impossible).

Also, my contention is that Lee is overrated and not worth signing
to a long term deal worth 13-15M per. His production is not that
much higher than Jones at more than double the salary.

He can be released or relegated to the bench. One key point
to remember is that this offseason the Cubs don't have to
behave in a consistent conservative way. Showing the fans
they want to win takes precedence over defending past decisions.

Well, like it or not (or like him or not), Jones put up good (not
great) numbers this year. I've never truly understood the concept that
some posters here advocate about 'selling' a player at 'peak' value
before... at least until this year. If this is not a clear case of it,
I don't know what is.

Jones has likely had his best year ever, but we need more/better
offensive output in the outfield (especially). Some more teams have
*got* to be interested in him after this year, and Hendry may be able
to get some real value for him.
