Drew's played 72 games this year. Probably just more wasted money. Nearly half the budget for this year was tied up in Sosa, Nomar, Wood, Hawkins and Remlinger. The Cubs got very little production from half it's budget. Fortunately, 3 of the 5 are gone next year. The Cubs should deal off Wood and let Nomar walk. With the way Nomar's swinging the bat of late, some team will give him an idiot deal. Given how much money the Cubs will have available for next season, they should have a much better season. Drew got hurt by getting hit by a ball. Nobody can expect that. You are assuming that the Cubs will have a 100mil payroll again. There could be a chance that will not happen. Why would they cut payroll?? The Tribs raking it in as usual and they have to save their beloved Dusty somehow. I heard the interview with MacPhail on the score and he didnt seem so confident about having a 100mil payroll again. All I am saying is do not be surprised if we do not hit the 100mil mark.
