The Cubs are hitting just .198 against left-handed pitching and their top right-handed hitter, Derrek Lee, on the disabled list. This has led to rumors that the Cubs may look to acquire Arizona's veteran Tony Clark. The switch-hitting Clark, an 11-year veteran, has lost his starting job at first base to rookie Conor Jackson and is hitting just .194 in 19 games. Last season he hit .304 with 30 homers and 87 RBIs. It is known that Gary Hughes, special assistant to Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, has been watching the Diamondbacks of late, including Sunday, when Clark started.
