    I don't know, but that's what trades are for. It shouldn't be hard to find a lead-off guy with a .330 OBP who is cheaper than Pierre. If Pierre had more of a recent history of a .350+ OBP, I'd be on board with re-signing him. Leadoff hitters are hard to find. You cant just go out and make a trade for one. Not many teams will deal their leadoff hitter. Matt Murton would be just fine as a leadoff hitter if Pierre didn't come back.

    That should be expected since, you know, he isn't a 3rd baseman.

    Izturis will make about $4.5m next season and $5.5m in 2008. So we actually did lose money to spend. About...$4.5m worth. That adds up. Rusch + Neifi + Izturis is about $10m in waste. If we just had Izturis, it would be one thing. Together, the three of them take up more than 10% of our payroll. That's ridiculous. Why are fans so concerned about payroll? I'm pretty sure you're not the one cutting the checks and the guys who are seemed comfortable with the move so what's the problem? It's not like we're the Marlins or the Rays and have fire sales every 3 years. Management has proven they'll pay for talent. I highly doubt these contracts will stop us from going after a Soriano or a Lee next year. They'll pay for talent? Like who?

    I don't get the link you're making between the 2 at all.

    I dunno. He's probably just not good enough to be a major leaguer, even though I love him. Edit: Is that .718 his slugging, or his OPS? It can't be his slugging.

    I doubt Soriano wants to be a Cub.

    for the last 2 months of the season he'll go 337/370/475 and cubs fans and hendry will think it's the greatest trade ever. too bad those 2 months happened though, because in 2007 he'll go 234/266/312 but won't be benched because those 2 months were the 'real' izturis. cesar will have a hot 2 months that will cost the cubs dearly for the next 2 seasons at least.

    didn't hendry actually say he could have had a couple of high-level prospects for maddux, but chose izturis instead? if hendry actually did say that, then people have every right to criticize what he got in return.

    I'll miss you and I love you still, Todd Walker. Greg Maddux....meh.

    When a team has made the postseason a number of years in a row (re: Braves, Yankees), I tend to favor that team to make the playoffs again until they prove me wrong. But what if said team sucks this year?
