    I dont think letting go of Wood should even be an option...... and Soriano's bad attitude can stay in Texas

    I'm not trying to put you down, but you won't find many people here who pay attention to pitchers' W-L records, especially not ones that date back to the 1980's. You're right about folks here not valuing W/L, but nolanwood DOES make a good point about the relative value in the contracts the Cubs are paying Prior and Z. If those numbers were redistributed, I don't think anyone would have a problem. W/L record for a pitcher is an arbitrary, team statistic. A pitcher cannot control what his offense does. You're absolutely right!! He controlled what the other teams offense does - which is half the battle.

    Why pretend? You absolutely must have guys producing above their salary level in order to win. You can't just say that Zambrano and Prior aren't getting paid what they deserve therefore we can just throw money around to vets to make up the difference. money is money.....it all goes to the same place - towards a winning team :)

    I understand where you guys are coming from - and being a lifelong Cubs fan, I'm fully aware of the value of the W-L record.... But, there is absolutely NO reason to discredit that stat or say it is arbitrary - Maddux earned those Wins too. Are you saying he had 300 "coincidences" in his pitching career?

    Prior - 2.5 million Zambrano - approx 3.5 million I think we're getting off pretty cheap there - I can think of 29 other teams in baseball that would pay those figures without question. Pretend like we're paying mad dog 3mil, and we're giving Prior & Z that extra 6mil. 300 + wins a few K's shy of 3000 There's not another pitcher in baseball, at the moment, that has a shot at those numbers. If I'm not mistaken, there's only 9 pitchers to have ever reached that mark. I'll take Greg as our 4th man any day of the week. He knows the game better than anybody else. Greg has won 15 or more games every single year he's played since he came up in 1987 (excluding the 5 games he started in his short stint in 1986). I'll take a 15 game winner as our 4th man in the rotation! Not to mention his 14 gold gloves.....and pitching expertise he provides to our young pitching staff.
