Umm the text in bold scares me :) CHICAGO (AP) — Pitcher John Grabow became the first of the 171 free agents to reach agreement on a new deal, getting a $7.5...
... three years, but it hasn't been a major issue.* << Â LOL! Â Ummmmm.... How muchcha wanna bet that it suddenly starts bothering him now that he's signed...
Wheelchair? When did this guy not go when they needed him to last season? I read that he is one of the top left-handed free agent relievers available. And it...
...  George.....  I hate to break it to ya, but this WILL end up being the biggest acquisition of the off-season. (although I think Ed Lynch being...
According to MLB Trade Rumors the Jays contacted the Cubs about trying to trade them Halladay. This would make me happy, very happy. The rumor says they would...
So he HAS to be a bum then, because he played when they needed him to? Maybe he is just a guy who works hard? Not impossible to be the case, we have had SOME...
Okay, forget about Grabow's bone chips that'll suddenly begin to bother him now that he's got a $7.5 million security blanket..... Â What I'm really excited...
There's another one floating around sending Millwood to the Cubs for Bradley and Miles..... Sent from the planet Mars ... From: "E. George Mucher III"...
Scott, how the heck can you even pretend to know that? I understand everyone's disappointment about last season, but we're not even at the winter meetings yet!...
The version of that I saw first, and was later said to be completely fabricated, was Bradley to Texas, Millwood to the Mets, and Luis Castillo to the Cubs from...
And I do seem to remember hearing at one point that people wanted to run Heilman out of here on a rail he was so bad. Plus reports are that he was just going...
Yes- it is just crazy to ask all of that. #1- Soriano is here to stay for at least another few years- his contract is just that bad and you know it, so why...
You guys are missing the point (as usual)..... Â Matt Stairs is a slow-footed, defensively challenged, swing for the fences type of player. Does the name...
I'll take a "swing-for-the-fences" type of guy who leads the league in ave. any day. and he wasn't a great fielder, but a helluva lot better than Bradley and...
... Â Again, my point is that the Cubs tend to pile up prospects without regard for mediocrity. It only follows that if your minor league system is dominated...
... Â As far as Hendry, my feelings about him have been well documented on this board long before everyone else suddenly got clued in and started piling on...
I disagree about Stairs leading the league in average, but honestly I just cannot recall it, so if someone can back that up I will admit I am wrong. I do,...
I just looked up Stairs Stats. He left the Cubs after the 2002 season and has NEVER hit higher than .294 and that was in 16 games for the Phillies in 08. He...
You're absolutely right Nat. I was wrong about Stairs' stats. I had him mistaken for someone else we had around that time, but for the life of me I can't...

Good catch AJ. I always liked him, but his injuries killed him in Chicago. He played decent defense, and then injured himself catching a ball near a rolled up...
And I sincerely doubt we would toss away some higher end prospects, because we have some guy that is no good in the minors that is "taking his spot away". In a...
... Sorry, but you're wrong. Why even give some guy that'll never amount to anything the time that may have been taken away from someone that has at least a...
I'm sorry too Scott- but I say you are wrong. The Cubs are not going to be bumping some other player with more talent in lieu of a lesser quality player in the...
