    Count me in for that trade bigtime, other than Wuertz plz. We need him. Marshall, Ohman and Izturis though, happily! Don't forget, Ohman + Izturis = $5MM, I believe Westbrook gets $6MM in 07, so the Cubs would only take on a mere $1MM in payroll in this hypothetical deal to get themselves a bona fide #3/4 starter, in this market that would be a home run. Theriot can easily play SS--and with much better offense--than Izturis. Or if they must, the Cubs could always sign Lugo or.....trade for Tejada? OK, now I'm hallucinating. actually Westbrook would be getting 5M and some change for 2007 after arbaration. So it's basically a wash. The deal I had heard though was Jones, Izturis, and Ohman or Westbrook though. I could be wrong.

    That gives us at least 15 mil to work with, possibly 25 mil if the spending limit is raised if we are targeting another marquee FA. Also, Jones, Izturis, Eyre, and Dempster could all be moved, seperately or invidually. If we moved 2 of them, we'd clear about 8-10 mil in payroll, possibly putting us back in the Drew sweepstakes

    WAH-WAH WEE-WAH! VERY NICE! AH LIKE! :D This is a great move by Hendry if he's planning on winning in the next year or so. And if the contract is really 5/84 with 3 option years (hopefully at least 2 of them are team/mutual), then this is a deal for sure. I'd venture to guess that this deal is also heavy on the backloaded side, something like this Alfonso Soriano 2007 - 14M 2008 - 17M 2009 - 17M 2010 - 18M 2011 - 18M 2012 - (17M Option) (10M Buyout) 2013 - (17M Option) (5M Buyout) 2014 - (17M Option) (5M Buyout) That's really not all that bad. I would rather Hendry had spent this money on Beltran, but Soriano is a big time free agent, probably the best one we've ever signed (not saying much but still). Let's look at how this contract contrasts with the long term contract's we're already on the hook for Derek Lee 2007 - 13M 2008 - 13M 2009 - 13M 2010 - 13M Aramis Ramirez 2007 - 14M 2008 - 15M 2009 - 15M 2010 - 15M 2011 - 16M So for these 3 players, we will be shelling out an average of 43 mil for the next 4 years. All with NTC's for that amount of time. Add in a hopeful Zambrano contract worth around 10-15 mil a year, and youd be paying upwards of 60 mil for a core of 4 players.

    Great play, but what a horrible time to use that eye in the sky camera angle.
  8. Jazz
    Science Damnt Cal....
  9. Jazz
    great, another fumble.
  10. Jazz
    How bad did they say Lynch was hurt? NVM: hes back, and then maybe gets a first down. Where's the Bad Ankle is correct
  11. Jazz
    absent minded lynch, with a fumble there. Thank god Cal recovered it.
  12. Jazz
    Safety, Ill Take that. Man, our defense might be shaky, but we have so much individual talent there.
  13. Jazz
    During this Cal game they were showing replays of the earlier UM-OSU game, and one play that I hadnt looked at closely was a PA play that Troy Smith played masterfully. He looks like he is a man among boys out there.

    Jarrett was the Biletnikoff finalist, so I'd go with him. well right now im not sure if Hughes is covering him or not. And smith has a few more receptions and alot more yards than Jarrett.
  15. Jazz
    Can someone answer me, is Steve Smith USC's number 1 reciever? For some reason I've always thought Jarrett was.
  16. Jazz
    Nice tackling by Hicks
  17. Jazz
    damn damn damn
  18. Jazz
    They kicked him out of the booth because of the odor emanating from his commentary.
  19. Jazz

  20. Jazz

  21. Jazz

  22. Jazz
    wow, our Run D is looking weak
  23. Jazz
    wow, that was a dirty hit
  24. Jazz
    im calling this game is a shootout that is decided in the 4th quarter, probably by a turnover.
  25. Jazz
