Angels - Cubs - Pirates trade

[Bronx Bombers]

:LAA: receives
SP Garcia, Freddy, $1m (2011)
SP Burres, Brian, $0.5m (2010)
SP Marquis, Jason, $3.5m (2010)

:CHC: receives
SP Lincoln, Brad, $0.5m (P-n/a)
MI Figgins, Chone, $3m (2011)
P Albers, Matt, $0.5m (P-2010)

:PIT: receives
CI-MI Stewart, Ian, $0.5m (P-2011)
OF Pierre, Juan, $3m (2012) + $2.5m/year from 2011-2012
SP-RP Chamberlain, Joba, $0.5m (P-2011)

This gives me starters to replace Greinke.  Plus, I dump Pierre but for a deferred price.

Accepted... I lose my top SP prospect but gain a better MI and another top reliever.

Cubs accept.  I downgrade at MI (Figgins could still end up nice) and lose another starter but Lincoln has a lot of potential, needed to get younger there.  I also free up cap space in the process.

Good deal for Cubbies... gained Figgins, Albers, and Lincoln and lost pretty much only Stewart.  Garcia is alright but more of a fillter.
