The Chicago Cubs have said they'll look to add pitching this offseason, which means a position player or two could be moved from the current roster.

Several bloggers have speculated that Kyle Schwarber could be traded to an American League team. Considered about his defense, some project him as a designated hitter.

"Let's start with the fact that if the Cubs wanted equal pitching to hitting they wouldn’t have drafted hitters in the first round over the past four years," writes Jesse Rogers. "If they trade Schwarber, they will just be looking to replace him, especially considering everything he brings to the table starting with being a dangerous left-handed hitter. It might be easier to find pitching.

"Now, that’s a little simplistic, as trading Schwarber for a pitcher in his prime isn’t the same as drafting one who is unproven, but the point is the Cubs want to trade from where they are redundant or can get maximum value."
