December 10, 200322 yr So the Tribune company is opening their pockets..... Overpaying and it will haunt them particularly in years 3 and 4. But whatever they want to do...whatever.....I guess if they cant beat the best they just have to try and take the players that beat them. I guess this means Damian Miller is now a backup for about 20 games a year or until Pudge gets hurt.
December 10, 200322 yr Author The deal will be completed this weekend at the winter meetings, BUT the O's /Dodgers could make a last run. I do think he'll get that contract he wants.
December 10, 200322 yr That's $10-11 Million that will hold them back in a few years. Good for them. :lol
December 10, 200322 yr That's $10-11 Million that will hold them back in a few years. Good for them. :lol How can you be so sure? sure it is a gamble and risky, but it may be huge for them. They will be a lot better team on 2004 for sure, with huge upgrades on 1B and C.
December 10, 200322 yr They will be a lot better team on 2004 for sure In 2004, yes. But Pudges contract will hold them back as he deteriorates in '06-'07.
December 10, 200322 yr out of all the teams, i cant believe this. The cubs mean business but they're stupid for signing him $10-11 mil a year.
December 10, 200322 yr now watch pudge get hurt, lee be his usual overrated self and the cubs go down in flames like always and do like most overspending teams end up doing, rebuilding.
December 10, 200322 yr lol, exactly Das. Maybe they'd like to take Encarnacion too? Geez. Alfonseca, Clement, Lowell, Lee, Pudge, Castillo, is there any Marlin the Cubs don't want? Good thing we already signed Mordecai! Too bad they can't win with their own players...
December 10, 200322 yr Not another one.... link?? There is no link Edcanes has sources to get all this info From.
December 10, 200322 yr I knew pudge wanted to go there. The cubs need a catcher, thats a little weak spot they have (the Catchers position). With Pudge's bat they really have a chance to compete again. Just Bring us Javy Lopez or Vlad and i will forget about pudge!
December 10, 200322 yr Cubs GM showing why he is an idiot once again... Trading for Derreck when he already had Simon. Signing a 32 year old Catcher who has a history of injuries to a multi year deal.Pudge didn't exactly light it up during the regular season.
December 10, 200322 yr When the playoffs came around is when Pudge finally woke up and said "Need to audition for next year to get that last fat contract before i retire"...i bet he wouldnt have had such a good postseason if he already had a multi-year contract under his belts.
December 10, 200322 yr If it is true, my boyfriend will be happy. He's always wanted Pudge to go to the Cubs.
December 10, 200322 yr Thats what i like about Beinfest...he doesnt give multi-year contracts that easy so that the players have an extra incentive to better themselves and play better.
December 10, 200322 yr Whatever. Let them come here and troll!! The guys here (esp. Juanky,KJC,Admin,Das,and marlins02) know how dangerous I get with my flip flops!
December 10, 200322 yr Whatever. Let them come here and troll!! The guys here (esp. Juanky,KJC,Admin,Das,and marlins02) know how dangerous I get with my flip flops ::grabs umbrella:: :whistle
December 10, 200322 yr Im calling BS on your prediction edcanes i do not think he will sign with the cubs and anyone can toss around predictions . he will end up with the orioles and the cubs will not dish out that money to sign him
