3 years for Jacque Jones? Who the heck was he bidding against, himself?

 

KC, and thanks to Dusty's wonderful skills, he only had to pay $1m more than the Royals offered.

 

So have we officially overpaid everyone we've signed? Exactly what good is Dusty Baker at this point? Because anyone could fill out a lineup card and rattle off cliches.

 

Haha. We had to outbid the freakin Royals. How sad is that? I hate this organization.

According to WGN radio, the Cardinals were also offering 3 years.

 

Then Hendry should have let the Cardinals downgrade their OF. It would have been a net upgrade for us.

Fun fact: Jones daytime splits for OBP since '03 are, in order, .274, .308, and .293.

 

I would expect his home splits to be comparable for us.

 

His road splits over the last three years: .312, .322, .318.

 

Yeah, he's a great pick for us. Early fearless prediction: Jones puts up a .310 OBP next year.

But atleast he wasn't getting in no bidding war for Brian Giles.

You know how much I like posting here.

You know how much I respect the fans here.

You know that in a little way it hurts me to do this.

 

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

 

THE CUBS SIGNED JONES!!!

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

 

 

Who knows, it might work out just fine. (I'm just glad he's not a Cardinal)

 

Have you're fun but don't forget you guys will have "JRod" and So running around the OF. :D

 

Do you think the cubs have any chance of finishing ahead of the cards?

 

Maybe if the Cards plane crashes and the entire team tragically perishes. That's the only way.

No, they weren't offering three years. They were bidding us up. Jocketty is probably at home laughing his rear end off right now.

Is it just me, or is Lovie Smith the exact opposite of Dusty? The best players play, period. If you suck, you're gone.

Hendry: "Juan Pierre has a cool name. Let's trade our farm system for him."

 

Hendry: "Jacque has an even cooler name. He's gotta be worth 3/16m. Sign him."

Or they amend the rules and allow the Cubs, and only the Cubs, to use "the cream and the clear."

Yes he is. I love the way Lovie coaches.

The abuse Hendry is getting on this board is way over the top.

 

Is anyone sure that Giles even WANTED to come play for the Cubs? Have the Phillies continued to insist on Z or Prior in exchange for Abreu? There is SO MUCH we can't know about individual players or GMs.

 

The biggest problem the Cubs have faced is that production from Sosa and CPatt absolutely cratered from 2003 in a way almost NEVER seen in the history of baseball. That's two huge holes that the Cubs could not have foreseen. If teams want Pie or Hill or Prior or Z for mediocre talent or aging ballplayers, I can see why Hendry has not made "THE BIG TRADE." If the Orioles are rational, then the Cubs have a chance of landing Tejada. Given the ownership, that might be a big IF.

i think everyone should join me and post a picture of his or her own personal reaction to the signing. if this goes well, we can break this off into its own thread.

No way Murton and Cedeno grace the field simultaneously, regularly. Here's your opening day Cubs line up 2006:

 

Pierre, Perez, Lee, Jones, Ramirez, Walker?, Murton, Barrett

Over the top? No I don't think so. I as well as others want us to win the WS. That isn't happening with Jacque Jones.

So Jones was offered arbitration by Minnesota?
