Plus hopefully the addition of a big bat, and Aramis Ramirez 04'/05' I think we could afford to have 3 #8 hitter in the lineup Nothing like banking on career years to win a championship :D Your "career year" 2007 Chicago Cubs CF- Pierre .327 .378 .415 2B- Soriano .300 .332 .547 1B- Lee .335 .418 .662 3B- Ramirez .318 .373 .578 C- Barrett .338 .398 .559 LF- Lee .305 .366 .525 RF- Jones .288 .320 .498 SS- Izturiz .288 .330 .381 -Of course we get both Lee and Soriano! For SP We get Zamrano(any season baby!) and 2003 Prior... Of course we sign Zito(02) and Schmidt(03). 2001 Wade Miller anchors the back end. Bullpen? Who cares. Let 06 Rusch close for all I care, he wont blow our 10 run leads. For Kicks- Closer: 03 Wood! On second thought Wood anchors the back end of the rotation and Vances famous Wade Miller for Closer BandWGN takes off again!(I was a proud memeber btw) Bench? 05 Niefi 01 Nevin 05 Murton-over full season 05 Cedeno-over full season WHO CARES WHO CARES W.S. HERE WE COME -we also get goat and bartman in prime and whole thing blows up Oh man, I wanna go play MVP Baseball now :lol: well the thing is, Lee's career year looks to be what we can expect from hin next season if healthy. Barrett however, has had a pretty high BABIP (.342), so he'll probably see a dip in his numbers next year (somewhere in between his 05 and 06 numbers. Aramis has been heating up lately, and if we can avoid losing him, his 3 year splits should be expected (.296/.350/.532). But your scenario does sound pretty good :)
