    The general consensus of Soriano by fans and sports media is that he's an old, bad player signed to a bad contract.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    C.C., if you seriously think there's anything resembling a real chance this falls through due to compensation, please admit it right now.

    Which would make sense then, but I highly doubt Red Sox want money. They have no shortage of that. I'd think they'd want talent. And the Cubs could be saying "tough [expletive]; either take the money or get middling talent." This isn't a done deal, but it's pretty obviously beyond the point where the Red Sox scrap everything if the Cubs are insisting they get max compensation value via money as opposed to a player or players. Then the Red Sox say "[expletive] you! He's under contact and he needs to drag his ass back here!" It's tremendously unlikely that something like that happens at this point. I will say that politely once. ONCE.

    Me too. It's a long shot, but I'd love to see Aramis finish his career here for the right price/years. The guy has easily been my favorite long-term Cubs in my lifetime besides Sammy.

    But what good would Soriano be to them? I guess he'd be useful as a LH PH, but that's about it. It's not like the fans are demanding that Ortiz not be re-signed to DH, so the idea that they'd even consider someone like Soriano instead seems a bit...farfetched.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Odds are he's pushing it towards a monetary resolution.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Not necessarily. He could still get a better deal with the Cubs than getting that last year. Didn't he also have an opt-out clause after 2006?
  9. Sammy Sofa
    But not quite the perfection of Titanic that year. There's a Ben Affleck and Matt Damon-sized hole in that bit of trolling.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    If he's serious about wanting to stay if it looks like they're trying to contend maybe he'd be willing to sign on the (relative) cheap with the Theo pick and, ideally, a signing of Pujols or Fielder. He took a pretty decent discount before, so maybe he'd be willing to do again. Sure would be awesome. This is his chance at one last big contract. He's cashing out. Don't be too sure. Everyone expected him to either jump ship or break the bank if he came back for 2007 and neither happened.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Nope. Because it was just so damn good.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I feel bad for the people that can only dwell on the playoff sweep. Yes, the ending sucked, but it's a long baseball season ahead of it, and it was pretty [expletive] great. Except for the ending. It's like a great movie and ruined by a crappy ending. It just ruins what went before it. No. 2008 was like LA Confidential; an amazing, nearly perfect film that I can shut off 5 minutes before it ends and still love.

    THAT is the moment when we can start celebrating. Agreed. I'm not getting my hopes up yet until the process goes a littler farther. For the love of [expletive].
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I'm not sure he's the type of guy you offer arbitration to. At that point he may actually be taking up space that could be used for somebody else. He'll be 35 and potentially coming off back to back disappointing seasons. I'd imagine Byrd would be getting his last multi-year deal after this season. Can't see him accepting arb. Right. I guess I could see him accepting it if he has a terrible year and it looks nobody will really be interested in anything beyond a 1-year-deal. And in no way am I saying Byrd is untouchable from being traded; I just didn't get the earlier posts that seemed to be saying that he "needed to be gone" ASAP.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Can it be just you? But I am of the joyous throngs. You are the heretic.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, instead of the Red Sox re-signing Ortiz to DH or even going after Prince to DH...they'll settle on Soriano.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Did anyone else catch that his fantasy football team is named the stinky pinkies? Dude's got a sense of humor too. I also sadly caught the anti-Semitic douchebag in the comments. IT'S BASEBALL, YOU JERKFACE.

    Let's sacrifice and devour C.C. for the glory of our new lord and master.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hah! I grant thee karma.

    He looks like a kid toucher in that pic. No bueno.

    AW, JEEZ, I JUST CLUNKED JOSH BECKETT'S 1.026 WHIP OFFA MY FOOT THERE, EDITH!
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, good [expletive] gravy. Yeah, Beckett having one of the best years of his career was a real "clunker."
