Bruce Levine on Waddle And Silvy

Bruce Levine was on Waddle and Silvy earlier this week to wrap up the Chicago baseball season:

* It is going to be a busy offseason for both teams according to Bruce. The Cubs will be looking for trades more so than free agents.
* Chone Figgings is not the answer to the Cubs problems.
* Levine thinks Ryan Dempster performed great considering what was happening with his daughter off the field. He does think that Ryan was effected by this early in the season.
* Dempster may not be as great as '08 next year, but he definitely will pitch better than the start of '09. Demp also could not be as much of a leader this year because he didn't have the energy.
* Marmol saved the last 11 in a row. Bruce thinks he was at the top of his game at the end of this season.
*Carlos will be the Cubs closer going into 2010. Grabow will be a setup man, assuming the Cubs resign him. They are working on a 2-year deal with the lefty Grabow.
* Esmalin Caridad is going to work on a breaking ball in the offseason.
* Bruce thinks the Cubs will look for an extra bullpen arm.
* Levine says thank most likely Rich Harden will not return to the Cubs.
