  Chicago Cubs outfielder Felix Pie hit his first home run of his career. Pretty sweet stuff for a Cubs fan. But what's more is how he handled himself after he hit the ball and finally saw that the ball had cleared the fence in right center field. The video below is somewhat low quality (because all others of his first home run were taken

  claims to the contrary, Pie was dangled.  Since no deal could be reached, it makes sense to say publicly that he was never available.  The source adds that Hendry continues to search for a bat this morning. Multiple sources had been saying Felix Pie was available, so it's nice to see Cubs GM Jim Hendry debunk that talk

  Padres really seem to like Felix Pie, and could re-open talks that would include Khalil Greene.  They've asked about Tony Gwynn Jr. of the Brewers in the past.  And it does sound like the Royals are willing to talk about David DeJesus. Sounds like the Padres will offer Andruw Jones $14-16MM on a one-year contract.  Scott Boras

  to a baseball man who doubts Felix Pie would be in the trade, a sentiment shared by Ken Rosenthal.  It makes sense that a Roberts deal would have its own complications - after all, it's taken over two months for the Orioles to trade Erik Bedard.

  so they are rooting hard for Felix Pie to play well and keep "punching the baseball in its stupid face." Goat Riders is not crazy about Crisp playing center for the Cubbies, but prefer him to the alternatives. Right Field Bleachers notes that the Brewers may trade Chris Capuano before Opening Day as he needs a change of scenery and he

  the Padres are still eyeing Felix Pie.  The Cubs' win-now approach could lead to that move, as Reed Johnson is doing fine in center field so far.  Greene is signed through the '09 season.  Trading Greene would leave a gaping hole at the position for the Padres though.  Another point is that the Cubs have gotten fine

He hit just .178 with one homerun and six RBIs. In Chicago, the Cubs will hope that Edmonds will bounce back in what could potentially be Edmonds' last chance to

  Jon Heyman. Cubs prospect Felix Pie has seen his value slip this year.  He didn't hit in 70 plate appearances with the big club.  His Triple A OPS slipped from .973 in '07 to .780 this year.  You have to wonder if the Cubs will remove the untouchable tag this winter. Heyman says there was never any negotiations between the
