  1. Hopefully at the expense of Hester.
  2. Are you guys kidding me? Not a good idea to sign him to an extension. He's been decent after a rough start but he's also getting up there in age. With so much uncertainty with the ball club's future let him exercise his one year deal if he wants to and go from there.
  3. I cannot wait for a new GM to be hired. Not getting rid of Pena is pretty stupid.
  4. Am I the only one that would think signing Cashman would be a failure? The Yankees made some solid moves but nothing to write home about when you factor in the amount of money they spent on free agents year per year. They've also had a lot of bust free agents and how is their minor league system doing these days?
  5. KEGS FOR EVERYONE!!!!
  6. I saw this: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/7072372-419/before-zambrano-left-soriano-told-him-what-he-did-was-wrong.html
  7. I think it would take the Cubs paying 46 out of the 50 million for someone to take Soriano from them.
  8. I think I'd rather see Knox start over Hester. So far the Hester for WR experiment has failed.
  9. Cotchery released by the Jets. Wouldn't be a bad pickup for the Bears.
  10. I don't mind the moves the Bears have made I just wanted them to sign some of the top guys that would be clear cut upgrades over what we had.
  11. Calling Barber a great goal line back is a huge stretch. He was terrible all around last year including goal line carries.
  12. What a joke. I'm really not liking the direction the Bears are going.
  13. Sims walker signed with Rams. What is the front office thinking?
  14. Guard Jacob Bell was just released by the rams. Didn't we have interest in him a couple years ago?
  15. They weren't my first options but if we can sign Roy Williams and Sims-Walker it wouldn't be the end of the world. It would be nice to sign one or two OL as well.
  16. I read the same thing on Twitter. Then Hendry better not be paying the rest of the contract. From what I just read the cubs might be paying all or part of it.
  17. There's no Lee or Soriano in their prime, but there could be Pujols or Fielder in his prime. That would be better than Lee or Soriano. Giving Pujols 8-10+ years would be stupid. I totally understand Pujols isn't flawed like Soriano but the reality is giving long contracts to 30+ year old players isn't a good idea.
  18. Sounds about right with Hendry at the helm. Yup he's never turned around a 90 loss team into a playoff team in one season. Anything is possible with a 120+ million payroll. He's a horrible GM and good luck to you for having faith in him. yeah because that's exactly what umfan said. also, you said that the cubs will be horrible next year, but now you're saying that anything is possible... which is it? With a 120mil payroll anything is possible but that doesn't mean I have faith in Hendry turning it around next year. There's no more Lee or Soriano in their prime either so my belief is that the cubs will be terrible next year. I'm also of the opinion that it will be best for the organization to get rid of the older vets for anything that they can get and build from within.

  20. Sounds about right with Hendry at the helm.
  21. What kind of OFers do we really need next year? This team next year will be horrible, I can live with mediocre players in the OF if we can get a decent return for these guys.
  22. jung and francescon followed and were each terrible... peoria is down 15-4 in the 5th inning. When all is said and done, Simpson might end up a bigger waste of a 1st round pick than Mark Pawalek. Rhee, on the other hand tossed a 7 inning complete game shutout with 6 K 1 BB 2 H. That's what happens when your scouting director makes reach picks in the first round. I believe Pawalek, Colvin and Simpson were considered reaches.
  23. Good question. They both are going to be really good.
  24. Am I the only one who wouldn't give Pujols 10 years? Haven't we learned our lesson giving a lot of years to players already? As great as Pujols is I can't imagine him still being great from 37 to 42 years old. This talk of 10 years to a 32 year old is insane.
