Cubs should try to get Kaz Matsui for Sammy... he can play SS if Nomar signs elsewhere or 2b if he comes back and be our leadoff hitter. The mets will probly...
I could be wrong but i think if we were to buy his contract and release him it would be 17 mil for this year, 19 mil for next year and the 4.5 mil buy-out. I'm...
What would happen is that he has to go through waivers and if he goes unclaimed then he can join a minor league team. I still think placing Sammy in waivers is...

I hope this isn't going to be 74 revisited when the Cubs got rid of everyone and went for youth and finished last. As far as Alou being a clubhouse cancer I...

I agree with the statement below, they should unload Sammy and keep the rest he is only out there for himself now and not the teamto me he is a waste of...
Agreed!! Grudz in my opinion is one of the better fielding second basemen in the league and his .300 batting average gets him on base enough for the big bats...
I was watching Regis and Kelly before I left for school, and Regis was saying that the Yankees are interested in signing Nomar to play second base for them...
I agree totally..Except that Moises needs to focus on himself and not what announcers say..I would love to see Carlos Beltran playing center fielsd and movinf...
I'd love Beltran in center and Patterson in right but I think we should cut our ties with Alou which i'm sure we have. I really like Alou but I don't think he...
I think every cubs fan would like to see Beltran wearing Blue next year, but I certainly wouldn't deprive Corey of center field after the spectacular year he's...
Beltran in right, Patterson in center, Floyd in left. Ramirez at third, Eckstien at short, Walker at second, Lee at first. Barrett behind the plate. ...
Sounds great....how about Troy Percival for closer? Also...would the Tribune Co go for such a high price tag on that team? DAN [Non-text portions of this...
None of those guys is worth having back. I guess I would take Todd Walker of the four, but the others: Alou - clubhouse cancer Grudz - always hurt - the Rex...

Cubs signed utility infielder Neifi Perez to a one-year contract today. In my estimation, a BIG improvement over Ramon Martinez - Dusty's guy - who almost...
Neifi may very well be one of "Dusty's guys" too. He's an old Giant, after all. This move is classic Cubs -- ignore the YEARS of evidence that a given player...
(I should also point out that I am aware that the original poster was not suggesting we use Neifi as the everyday SS. I'm just concerned that someone somewhere...
I definitely don't want him as the starter, but I have seen more than enough of Ramon Martinez over the past two years. ... Giant, after all. ... given ... ...
Just a matter of Point, Neifi never played for Dusty in SF nor anywhere else. Agreed though that this is a typical Cubs move ala Gary Gaetti but hopefully it...

If it is true that the Dodgers are offering Shawn Green for Sosa, the answer is simple for Jim Hendry - Take It! Now Green only hit .266 last year, but his...
Ummm, not so fast. Now I agree that we are probably going to have to trade Sammy and I sure would rather have Green than the Mets' Floyd. But to say Green had...
Holy cow, that would be like my *dream trade* Where do you think my user name is derived from ;) Both players have no-trade clauses, I believe (well, we know...
Well, given that we've been discussing everything including waivers, eating the contract, and Cliff Floyd. . . Sosa for Green sounds okay to me too. Green's...
