Lee/Eyre injury

[NCCubFan]

Um, I think we're overlooking quite possibly the best option out there and he won't cost us anything in terms of players:

 

The one, the only. . . Ernie Banks.

I doubt he could play every day, so we could also sign Jim Hickman to back him up. :D

Hoffpauir?

Tony Clark may be the best option if Arizona is inclined to move him.

What's Fred McGriff doing these days?

Going to Fred McGriff's School of Acting.

You don't mind the two years? I don't b/c I like veteran power off the bench, just asking if you do.

I did not realize he had so many HRs last year. Having him would be pretty great, especially as a bench guy when Lee gets back. I cannot imagine that the D-Backs would want the sun, moon and stars for him either.

His contract is cheap enough that the second year doesn't bother me. He can be cut and the Cubs could easily afford to eat the second year or he could be traded if the Cubs don't want to carry a player who is exclusively a DH on the bench.
