5. Can the Cubs compete next year without signing Aramis Ramirez? The Cub Reporter.

Yes, but they have to sign or trade for somebody to make up for his bat. I think they have to find another bat somewhere with Aramis coming back anyway. I think Aramis should be the number one priority for the Cubs in terms of their own players next year, before Kerry Wood or Juan Pierre.
