Cubs sign Soriano

[PrimeTime]

LoL Piniella is so pumped up, he can hardly breathe

[nilodnayr]

Lou Piniella on WGN Radio right now.

 

highlights?

 

I guess smashing the snooze button 5 times every day has rendered my radio basically useless.

[Neuby]

Piniella sounds really old.

if they don't extend Zambrano, i'm personally burning wrigley to the ground.

 

Does brick burn?

 

i'm going to buy a nuke

The Department of Homeland Security will be visiting you soon now that they have a deal with Google.

 

Dear Homeland Security,

 

I was talking about this Nuke, to replace Zambrano in our rotation.

So were still looking for a CF and pitching....According to them

[treebird]

Sorry, I had to post this.

 

According to this blog, Drew is signing with the Cubs and Zito personally called Jim Hendry. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Honestly, the Drew thing is possible, but not all that probable. The Zito thing is ridiculous.

 

well, i wouldn't be surprised if zito or boras called hendry personally and said he'd be interested in playing for the cubs.

 

more suitors = better contract

 

if i was a free agent, id desperately want hendry to start making crazy offers at me, even if i hated the cubs and would never plat for them

[ToupeeOnFire]

They were talking like they are still going to get a centerfielder.

[Shavo]

Jones or Murton is so gone.

seriously, you should be more careful with things like that.

[Neuby]

Piniella and Kaplan seemed to be pointed towards the Cubs are still not done

[ToupeeOnFire]

Jones or Murton is so gone.

I get the feeling Murton is going to get shipped to Cleveland in a Westbrook trade

[RichHillIsABeast]

Murton is making the league minimum. I think Jones is gone. We still have a lot of holes in our rotation.

They didn't say anything about moving Jones to CF? Again, assuming Bruce is right (do I even need to write this qualifier anymore), Murton is going nowhere so that leaves Jones as the odd corner OF out.

 

By the way, nice job Bruce...every other outlet reported him as going to play CF. Scary how much assumption goes on in "reporting".

That's gotta be Lugo because I think Drew is out of their price range now

[mg420]

actually i read that soriano might be in right with jones moved to center and murton in left. not a bad idea if jones can handle center.

Piniella just said on the radio that Hendry is now going after a CF and SP

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hopefully not Murton.

[PrimeTime]

Lugo,Soriano,Lee,Rameriz,Barret what a beautiful first 5

Only if DeRosa can play CF against lefties, and then Theriot taking over at 2B on those days.

[back2backjax]

no way soriano plays RF. he's here for CF or LF.

 

Bruce Miles challenges your statement.

 

paul sullivan challenges bruce miles

 

"The Cubs plan to have Soriano play centerfield and bat lead-off, giving them three players who have hit 35 or more home runs in a season in their starting lineup. With Soriano in the fold, the Cubs will next turn towards acquiring a starting pitcher or two."

 

 

so who is right btwn the two?

Well then I hope we are getting a good starting pitcher in return for Jones because Lugo is a downgrade from him in CF. The other option you didnt mention is lil Sarge .

[E.J.]

Lugo,Soriano,Lee,Rameriz,Drew what a beautiful first 5

 

fixed. :D

I'll bet Soriano is either in LF or CF. I think I will disagree with Bruce's sources.
