Edmonds >>>>> Neifi > Trachsel > Blauser > Macias > Hundley The only downside to signing Edmonds is Pie not starting. If Edmonds signed with somebody else for nothing and started hitting like he did 2 years ago, people would be complaining that Hendry didn't sign him. No they wouldn't. Edmonds is a player that most Cub fans never ever wanted. That's never stopped many of the posters here from 2nd guessing/complaining about Hendry. Please reference Josh Hamilton. I fail to see how the situations are similar. Low Risk, High yet unlikely potential, costs the organization virtually nothing. OMG, I totally forgot, EDMONDS WAS A CARDINAL, EDMONDS WORE EYELINER, EDMONDS LIKES GUYZ LOLZ! My point was that people would find something to complain about no matter what. People complained when we picked up a coke head in the Rule 5. People complained when we traded him for jack to Cinci and he produced. Edmonds was a good bet to be a bust, but Johnson getting the starts againt righties anyway it was a low impact attempt to catch lightning in a bottle. No lightning, DFA, who cares? High potential? Are we still talking about Edmonds?
