Home Baked Pie
Felix Pie is staying put:
General manager Jim Hendry put an end to speculation that the Cubs would deal their top prospect, telling reporters before Monday's game against Philadelphia that he has no intention of dealing Pie.
"Felix Pie has never been talked about," Hendry said. "He's not going anywhere in any deal. There will be no trade of Felix Pie to anyone."
That's too bad, I was hoping the Cubs could get 3.14159 prospects for him. :-)
Update: And yes, I think he should wear π on his back. :-)

Not to rip on the guy too much, but Pie has had an inconsistent minor-league career with an overall OPS of .827. He's young and might improve, but the stats don't scream "franchise player." If the Cubs could get some serious talent in return, I don't know that Pie should be untouchable.
Chicago might figure they don't need any more help to overtake Milwaukee, and they may be right. The Brewers are nothing special with that +36 run diff.
