LorfTVP Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Needless to say, I was dumbfounded when I read this. Honestly, an eight year commitment to a 31 year old player? What the fuck are they thinking?! But honestly, I'm more peeved at Speier signing with the Angels, though 4.5 million a year is pricey...he was in the running for the Sox closer.

Blue Jeans Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 What makes you think they are gonna win it all now? They have the talent. This signing makes them one of the best National League teams, but they just never show up come April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting wise they are very talented. But they don't have enough pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 a. terrible signing. even if you're desperate you could still get him for less. no free agents had any business getting 100 mil this season. b. anythying can happen in that garbage division but the stros will counter with carlos lee anyway and the cubs still have no pitching and no closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A healthy starting staff of Zambrano, Prior, Wood, and it seems like Meche now could be one of the best in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think they are going to be healthy? And what makes you think if they are healthy means that they are going to be effective. This team is a question mark year in and year out. All of us have no clue what to expect out of the Cubs. Soriano will probably hurt his hammy in spring training, Lou will force him to play through it, and then Sori will be out 4 months. That wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I realize it's been said for the past three years, but that doesn't make it false. i think it does, especially in the case of wood. prior i could still see someday turning it around cuz he's young. on the other hand, wood is getting older and he isn't even in their rotation this season, he'll be their closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, what a shame from a baseball fan standpoint that these two guys have been injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
