Carlos Pena claimed off waivers by...some team.

Great. I don't even care if its a top prospect. If I have three more years of watching Pena play, I suspect I will end up like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

Rotoworld:

Pena was claimed off waivers by the Yankees on Wednesday, but the Cubs refused to trade the slugger at last month's non-waiver deadline and don't seem inclined to part with him here in August. The reasons: half of Pena's $10 million salary for this season has been deferred to 2012, and the Cubs are still hoping to re-sign him as a free agent this winter. Pena, 33, has 23 homers and 67 RBI through 124 games with Chicago.

NO. He should not even be in the thought of the Cubs' brass this winter with Albert and Prince up for grabs.

Give him to the Yankees. I will drive him to New York myself. Even if the Cubs are going to go whole hog on rebuilding, there is no way Pena should be part of it. If they think they can contend next year (lets face it, the Central will be up for grabs), then the guy should be Fielder or Pujols.

Even a blind squirrel can find a nut now and then.

Pena ####### blows.
