The years aren't that surprising. Wagner was going to wind up with 4 years most likely, and Ryan is younger. The guarenteed 5 is a little surprising, I guess.
If we get Giles, and then trade for A-Rod and put him at short, and then trade for Michael Young and stick him back at 2B, I'm all in favor of having Corey back in the 8 hole. Hell, put him 9th if Wood, Prior, or Z is pitching.
I'd prefer losing Pinto over losing Marshall or Hill. I'd prefer not trading any of them for Pierre. In fact, I'd prefer not trading anyone for Pierre. Same here.
Why no re-work the deal to get both say, Patterson, Walker and Pinto for Castillo and Pierre? Florida is dumping payroll like a bad girlfriend. They won't want Walker or Patterson at their salaries. They want prospects. Then you eat the contracts of one of them.
I love the Cubs blue unis. I hate the blue hat w/ red bill though. Anyways, the Ball and Glove logo dominates. i never knew there was an M or B in it though :oops:
Meh, my memory sucks. I just looked at the stats again. I don't know what I was thinking. I just remembered him being great and that's why he commanded a big contract.
