Speaking of declined options, I am sorry to see Cliff Floyd go. He was not the answer to the right field problem, but he is a good guy and it somehow seemed...
I thought he could be the short term answer - one or two more years - if the Cubs would commit to the playing time. Unless we spend an assload of money, we...
Exercising Floyd's option would have put the Cubs over the reported 15M budget increase for the '08 payroll. With all of Hendry's backloaded salaries, he...
... The real screwing will come in the last two or three years of old man Soriano's contract. Unless he pulls a "Bonds" and has a chemically induced...
When Rusch and Jose Rosado came up with the Royals in '97, it looked like KC could recapture the '85 magic... a couple of young pitchers with outstanding...
http://tinyurl.com/2s5fof If this report turns out to be true, then Hendry will have traded an overpaid OF for a vastly overpaid infielder. At least the Cubs...
It's being reports on ChicagoSports.com, too... I read this comment on their blog...made me laugh...I think it does make sense as long as the Cubs aren't...
Allegedly we are paying for some of the Jones contract. I see that Infante made 1.7M in 2007 but he isn't signed for 2008 yet as far as I can tell. ... ...
My sources have him at 1.3M for '07. http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/detroit-tigers_21.html What would stop the Cubs from non-tendering him if he's...
Yes... 1.3M is correct. What I don't get is why the Jones deal was nixed by MLB during the 2007 season but now it would be approved. ... [Non-text portions of...
Do we know how much of Jones's salary Hendry agreed to pay? I sincerely hope that the Cubs non-tender Infante. What is it with Hendry and his love for Latin...
No idea. Now I see a story that says we are getting Infante and cash. I guess we'll have to see how it all works out. ... [Non-text portions of this message...
It looks like all those clowns that say Wrigley is a hitter's park are proving to be correct. Wrigley was 2nd last year behind only Fenway as the friendliest...
Once again this is addition by subtraction. With the exception of his team best BA after the ALL Star break, Jones has been more than a disappointment. And...
I think this trade was a kharma debt...they took Neifi off our hands - so we owed them taking Infante of their hands. If I remember correctly, Hendry tried to...
I understand the salary part of deals like this, but if we're going to be unloading guys like Floyd, Jones, Ward, etal, I want to know who we're going to be...
The Cubs did exercise their option on Ward. I find the entire Pie/Murton/Soriano thing fascinating. Nothing embodies Hendry's scatter brained thinking more...
It is all very confusing but it's only November 12 and the blind squirrel is overdue to find a nut! ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I even forgot that the genius acquired Craig Monroe. So when I heard that he had been transfered (I won't say traded because there ain't nothing coming back...
