    People want the deal consummated so there isn't a risk that Zambrano will be lost to free agency! We won't know the exact cost until a deal is done; the negotiations aren't public and fans don't have the option to submit an offer. At this point, with all the other money that has been committed this offseason, the Cubs would be foolish to quibble too much over cost. That's not to say that negotiations aren't in order (because no GM wants to pay a $1.00 more than it will take to get the player to sign) but this team is built to make a run within the next 3 seasons (the same number of guaranteed years Piniella is signed to manage--he also has a 4th option year). Losing the ace of the staff severely limits the plan by handicapping an already questionable pitching staff. If the Cubs are serious about winning, and I think they are, Hendry will make sure that Z is signed.

    Nah, I just want them to suck. The stuff you describe sets the stage for a lot of sympathy and warm wishes. :? :)

    Hill 3/6 Z 3/7 Miller 3/8 I guess Lilly will start the HOU series 3/9 Because Z is going to start every 5 days, he is going to be in a different place in the order as they go throughout April and possibly the season. The order of Lilly/Marquis/Hill/Miller should stay the same, but where Z is in that order will continue to change depending on his pitching schedule. LOL, yeah I figured it out, which is why I deleted my original post. :wink:

    Muskat / Cubs.com Also... I just heard on the radio that Zambrano, supposedly, told ESPN AM 1000 his 2007 record will be 22-7. :shock: :lol:

    No, they don't use any scouting reports in ST. The guys in the OF are standing in random areas.

    That's Bob Howry. :D

    I have yet to see someone predict over 90 wins for this team. Actually, BP says if the Cubs shore up their bullpen, 90 wins isn't out of the question. I don't agree with trading OF'ers however... subscriber link

    ESPN AM 1000 just reported, on its Sports Center Update, that Zambrano confirmed today the Cubs have a formal 5 year offer on the table. His agents will try to hammer out the specifics this weekend with Hendry. Zambrano also reiterated that he wants the contract completed before Opening Day b/c he won't negotiate during the season. I'm very optimistic this will get done! Listen Live

    Lou made a very credible point in the paper today; the defense will improve when the team starts using scouting reports to help position the outfielders. During Spring Training, the team isn't using spray chart info therefore, the OF isn't always setup correctly. It certain should help with some of the problems. Suntimes

    Not surprisingly, Bruce Miles has a different take on Prior's news conference: Sounds like the words of anyone in his situation...

    I don't think so. He'll be back when he merits a recall. I wouldn't say that's a joke
