Hermanson?

The White Sox aren't going to be picking up his option , do u think Hendry should offer him a 1 Million dollar deal with incentives like the gamble he took with Williamson?

No. He wasn't that good before his health issues.

with the loss of aram we will have huge holes to fill & about $35 mill in money to spend. Why would we gamble on anyone? It's time to spend on real players that are not hurt & that are still playing at a high level.

Whatever the question, Hermanson is not the answer.

What if the question was, "what soon-to-be free agent reliever of the White Sox should the Cubs pass on first?".

Actually, the Cubs will have much more than that to spend. If Aramis walks and if you add in the $3M buyout on Wood, the Cubs would currently have 8 players under contract at $45.5M. If the payroll is in the neighborhood of $110M, which has been hinted by many in the press, it gives the Cubs $64.5M to spend. Assume $14.5M goes to Zambrano and Prior in 2007. That still leaves the Cubs with $50M. True, they have holes, but $50M can fill a lot of holes through trade or via free agency.
