It was only a year ago that Craig Monroe was living the high life, playing an instrumental role in Detroit's storybook run to the World Series. "I can't say anything bad about the Tigers' organization," Monroe said. "I had an excellent time there and I felt they gave me an opportunity to play and show Major League Baseball and myself what I can do. "I've always been a big fan of the Cubbies. Back home in Texas, getting a chance to watch these guys on WGN ... Just to put this jersey on feels good."
