Which contract would you have wanted the Cubs to match?

Hindsight is 20/20, but......

 

After the Aramis deal, if the Cubs could have only had one big-name, big-dollar contract, which player would you have wanted the Cubs to sign?

[Drew Doughty]

Mats or none.

[UMFan83]

Either Dice-K or Drew. Funny how they both ended up on the Red Sox

[Andy]

Matsuzaka I guess. They're all pretty indefensible though.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Drew

Matsuzaka, probably. Giving Drew 5/70 guaranteed is sheer stupidity. Same for Zito and his contract. All the others were pretty bad, but Zito and Drew will be millstones around the necks of their respective teams in short order.

I'd probably say either Soriano or Drew.

A 5/70 contract can't be a millstone for a team with the payroll of the Red Sox.

True enough. But when he is hurt, the BoSox fans are riding him like a rented mule and no one else will take him at that price, it may seem like it.

Gah, hit the wrong button! Meant to hit Drew...stupid Lee. Now he has a vote.

[Jon]

Daisuke or Drew. Nobody else would be even close.
