Jim Bowden's Solutions to Cub's Problems

[Backtobanks]

From a video on Foxsports:

1. Trade Bradley to Texas picking up most of the contract and apologize to Ricketts for signing him.

2. Sign Figgins to play 2B and leadoff.

3. Sign Valverde to close and leave Marmol in set up role.

 

What an idiot! His solutions are just to spend and buy every player you need.

There's a reason why Bowden has been fired by not only one, but two major league organizations. So thank you Bowden, but no the Cubs should not followed your solutions.

Trade Bradley for squat pick up most of the contract, and sign 2 big money free agents. sheer brilliance. Why didnt I think of that?

I'm surprised he didn't recommend signing three or four marginal OF and hope it sorts itself out.

Sign Holliday, Bay, and Lackey. DFA Soriano (pay full contract).

Trade Bradley to the cardinals for brendan ryan.

 

sign Theriot for 5 years 20 mill

 

Sign Figgins 4 years 36 mill

 

Keep castro in AA/AAA.

 

Let Lee walk and move Ramirez to 1B. Play Figgins at 3B when castro is ready.

Jim Bowden used to call other GMs at like 4 AM offering ludicrous trade offers.

Did the feds ever clear Bowden in that Latin American signing bonuses scandal?

It's best to just assume that all of his posts are.
