i agree... i never understood how we get hairston for sosa (just the name and past production should be more). not only that but the money we had to pay for sosa's contract. i'm not a business management major, and dont know very much about contractual obligations in the sports industry, but i felt we got the lower end of that deal at the time. we admittedly lost a cubs hero and run producer (as much as you'd like to deny it, he was a hero and producer in right)... and for a guy that i personally had only heard his name mentioned a few times before, and never knew what position he played until he arrived. plus we had no replacement for RF at the time, which is always to be concerned. but none of us knew (some expected) that sosa would have a flake year... and we would get burnitz in FA and he'd be producing as well as he is away from coors.
