During that series there was a blurb in the Trib about how Harris had a money dispute when he signed with the Cubs. Apparently Hendry promised him 900k and when he signed Jim said there was only 600k for him. Lenny said he would've stayed home and taken the Marlins offer for 600k had he known that. The whole Lenny Harris nightmare could've been avoided with some tightwad honesty. But, then I would've never gotten a baseball during batting practice. Long Live Lenny Harris!
I know a lot of people are gonna say "good, bring his value up," but if he's hitting like he was last year, we've got a solid 6th-7th hitter who can drive in some runs for us. It'll help offset the Hill/Bowen-Pitcher bottom of the order
I'm all for trading Pie for the right deal. I don't want to give him away, but if we could land a stud pitcher or big bat, I don't see why you wouldn't trade him away.
I have a theory that Zambrano has let them know that if they want him to come back no more sucky defense at the catcher position or else. Does anyone know how Soto's defense is? I doubt it's worse than Barrett's. It's above average. So what you are saying is, there is officially NO reason for Soto not to be on this team?
