*Collective sigh of relief*

this either means that hoffpauir makes the roster or we sign someone wholly unacceptable to back up 3b/ss/2b.

 

let's hope it's hoffpauir. let's bet it's someone wholly unacceptable.

Not for $8M with incentives.

I don't believe for one second that the Cubs will head north with only one backup infielder.

I wouldn't give him that either (althrough he was def. worth that last season), but still..... it's not like Sabean was saving us from some awful player

We already have one pitcher in our rotation who we can pretty much guarantee misses significant playing time. Why have another?

Because they are good pitchers? So if someone said you could have another Rich Harden (I'm not saying Johnson is Harden, just giving an example), you wouldn't want it because you already have one?

 

Plus even though Johnson would be a health risk, I don't understand how you can pretty much guarantee he's miss significant time, considering he made 30 starts last season and has made less than that only one time in the last 5 seasons.

 

I mean, really, would 20-25 starts of an ERA around 4 on a one year deal be an awful thing?

If we had the money we did with the Trib, then sure, but as is now, we really couldnt afford to take a chance on such a thing.

On a one-year deal, I don't really see a problem. (Did he sign for more years? I'm not sure.)

 

If we have enough in the budget now, we could sign him and then, by the all-star break, I'd think Ricketts would be in place and could up our money available by 5-8 million for a deadline deal.

The payroll this year is bigger than it's ever been
