I guarantee you JH will sign someone else by Friday.

[A New Era]

JH is on a roll. H and Piniella are ready to roll. Just watch and see. Someone else will be signed not even a day or two after DeRosa.

[WrigleyField 22]

Yea, but will he be good?

Hey give me a break. I just said he'll sign somebody by friday. :lol:

[Neuby]

thats weak it's not much of a stretch to think Hendry will sign one of the middle tier free agents pitchers.

Guess your right. He still seems to be going at full speed, and much faster than in any previous off-season.

Of course he is. He has more money than ever, and his substantial butt is on the line.

It's just like shopping. Once you start, you can't stop.

Just the way I like it! And it's because of that I guarantee someone else will be signed by friday.

[ChiCubsFan]

So what happens if he doesn't sign anyone by Friday?

You'll eat it? I was thinking more along the lines of sending me $10 or somethin.

[VanceJergins]

I guarantee that I like candy.

I guarantee that tomorrow will be colder than it was last Thursday in Chicago.

:lol: , thanks for the laugh. I needed that. :P

[YearofDaCubs]

I have to say though at least it feels good hearing the Cubs involved in all of these rumors. I just hope we improve the team enough to finally win.

[johnnyba99]

Blanco was signed the day after DeRosa, so does that count? :lol:

[Wheelimus]

Something tells me that payroll is going way past 120. I'm hoping in the end they just tell Jimbo to keep it under the luxary tax.

 

JD Drew, 4/56

 

Alfonso Soriano, 5/75, with sixth year option that can either vest, or if it isn't and we refuse it, there's a $5 million dollar buyout.

 

Kei Igawa. Win the posting. Iwamura should have been worth more than the Devil Rays paid. I think we can win this one.

 

Julio Lugo. 2/12

 

Dump Cesar. Package Eyre for a starter from Cleveland, eat his contract if it gets you a better player. Let Jacque know he's going to either be a super-sub, getting a lot of starts against righties to rest everyone, or he'll be traded. Do what he wants, we don't need any crybabies.

 

And if it turns out Aram doesn't cost us an A/B signing, or we pass the arbitration deadline and there's someone left, one more starter please. Lilly or Padilla please.

 

Oh, and Marquis to just really throw stuff at the wall until something sticks.

 

Lineup would be deadly. Ton of pitching depth

 

Zambrano

Hill

Igawa

Padilla/Lilly

Westbrook/Lee

Miller

Prior

young guys

 

I'm not sure if I'm still under the luxary tax. :lol:

[BigbadB]

I'm not sure if I'm still under the luxary tax. :lol:

 

I'm not sure Hendry can get all those guys. There is a limit to how many A/B guys he can sign. DeRosa counts as 1 already.

He does? That makes that move even worse.

[Wheelimus]

We get 4, so it all comes down to weather Aram counts or not.

 

Drew would be one, Soriano would be one, and Lilly/Padilla would be the other.

 

The bench would be filled out with guys under our control and non A/B's.

I like your signings, but I would be shocked if either Lugo or Soriano is signed for those prices. I think Lugo will get something like 4/32 and Soriano will be paid around 100 mil.

Yeah, he's a B.

[Backtobanks]

Well he made a trade.

[baseball7897]

Well he made a trade.

 

A very good trade.

[David]

A very good trade.

 

I don't know about "very good."

 

It's a "meh" trade at best.
