You know, I like where Poudre is going with this. Lets just look at our Lineup so far: 1b- DLee 2b- Walker SS- Nomar 3b- Ramirez LF- Murton Cf- ? RF- Giles C- Barrett That could equate to something like this: Murton Walker Lee Giles Ramirez Nomar Barrett Patterson Patterson is in red, because of course he is hypothetical. But look at that. from 1-7 (you can arrange them any way you like) that is a very solid lineup. You can live with patterson in the 8th spot. Let corey last you untill september (or whenever Pie is ready) and then you dont waste too much cash. You can use the money you save to go pick up a SP or build yourself a pen.

That would be good Funny, because to a normal fan that would mean not corey not not pie. I was thinking that myself....
-
Yes. I also think Juan Pierre is the way to go. Not so much because I like him, but because he is probably the best realistic option.

FINALLY. The final decision is: We are Front-loading the contract: 15, 14, 11, 10. with a 2 million dollar buyout on a mutual option 5th year for 8 Mil Now, What we've all been waiting on, Center field. What should we do here, guys?
-
FINALLY!!! Mods, lock plz.

OK, this will not drag on forever. The poll is officially over at 4 PM Central Time, tomorrow. So vote vote vote. In the event of a tie, i'll go jump off the nearest bridge.

Come on people......PLEASE.....I'm so tired of giles/right field. Lets get to ten votes (for one choice) and call it a day.

Thats when sammy was in his full pimpin form. Thats the only reason we did so "well" -
Final poll on giles, YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, folks. The state of this thread is that we are discussing how to structure the agreed upon contract offer of 4 years/50 million. Some of the options that have been put forth are: 1. Evenly spacing out the money at 12.5 per year. 2. Front-loading the contract like 15, 14, 11, 10. This would make Giles's pay more likely to match his production as he ages. The Cubs have the money to spend on him now, but in the years to come they will need to resign players like Z, Prior, Ramirez and Lee, so the declining pay scale would benefit them there as well as making Giles easier to trade without having to eat money later. And Giles would probably like it because he gets more money sooner which is always a good thing. 3. Structure it so it goes 12, 12, 12, 12 with a 2 million dollar buyout on a mutual option 5th year in the 8-9 million range. 4. The same thing as 3, but front-load it like 2. (15, 13, 11, 9 with a 2 million buyout on the mutual 5th year option) Roast has yet to start a poll on the structuring of Giles's deal, so we have yet to vote on any of these options, and that is where we stand. ROAST TO THE RESCUE! I was just coming to put up the poll. It will be up momentarily.

If I was there I'd give him a standing ovation. Me too. How people can be so ignorant to forget what he did for us for so long bewilders me.

Holy crap, thank you cuse! :P -
Finally, we have a decision. 4 years, 50 million dollars. The final thing we need to decide is how to structure the deal... Someone throw out some ideas so we can move off this topic :)

Hendry Has done some amazing things. Look at the team he took over, and todays team. He has pulled of some great trades. Nomar, Lee, Ramirez. Great. But he has also done some increadably stupid things. Maddux (the contract is horrible), MACIAS, Dusty's crap, totally ignoring simple things like OBP. So, i dont really vote w/ either of those options. I'm somewhere in the middle. I have SOME faith in him. But if he doesnt can dusty, That hope will fade away.
-
ITs decided. Mods lock plz.
-
aaaallllllright. i'm gonna speed this up. if no one has ten votes by 10 PM tomorrow then the choice with the highest vote total will win.
-
Lee just got hosed.
-
Macias

-

-

-
First to twenty wins as always. Vote vote vote.
