"The Cubs are supposedly interested in Kaz Matsui, but I have not been able to confirm that report. From what I have heard, the Cubs plan to offer a three year deal to Matsui and play him at second and short...as for Fukudome, the Cubs are "very interested" and plan to make an aggressive offer to him. Personally, I think they will look to sign Matsui in the next day or so and use him to lure Fukudome".

 

--This is an interesting website, take it for what it's worth. Nice interview with the Riot towards the bottom of the page.

Love the interview with the Riot, but even he doesn't quite have his uniform number history right.

 

ELI: You've been forced to switch numbers several times over the past couple seasons, are you finally set with number 2?

 

RYAN: I was actually thinking about switching to number three for next year. I've made a couple changes. I never wanted to be number 55, I always wanted a single number. So I moved to seven, then to three, and then back to seven. But DeRo [Mark DeRosa] took that so I got two. I think I will stay with number 2, unless we acquire Derek Jeter this off season.

 

He wore no. 55 when he was called up in 2005, started 2006 with that number, switched to no. 3 early on, took no. 7 when Walker was traded away and Izturis was traded for and then gave DeRosa no. 7 and took no. 2 this past offseason.
