Wow. Thanks for the info Greasy. That's an amazing pic...

Would Maggs play CF for the Yanks? You've already got Matsui and Sheffield in the OF. I don't see this trade happening at all...

As long as the Cubs don't get him :fthecubs

It's official...Ponson signs a 3 year deal. And to top that off the Cubs have made an offer to Greg Maddux...This has been the worst off-season in recent memory. KW better not show his sorry ass at SOXFEST...

5 million dollars a year for a part-time pitcher? I don't think Clemens woulda signed if that was the case. He's too competitive. He'll make his 30 plus starts assuming he's healthy...

I have pretty much conceded that we are not gonna make ANY significant additons to this team...All we gotta do is hope 5 or 6 guys have break out years and we can somehow take advantage of an AWFUL division...

That's great to hear

Excellent addition by the Astro's. They get a pitcher who has proven time and time again that he can pitch at a high level despite his advancing age. And not only that. He's a proven PLAYOFF pitcher. Now the Astros have four guys capable of 15 plus wins. And they got depth now with Redding, Robertson, Duckworth, and Hernandez. So now they have better starting pitching and hitting then the Cubs do. I haven't really broken down the bullpens yet. You know the funny thing. If Oswalt is healthy and makes his 30 plus starts I think the Stro's win the division LAST year. Now it's pretty much a wrap...

My bad. I can see a thread was already started on this topic. SORRY

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1703268 WOW....If this happens and they get any kinda pitching NY and Boston r in trouble...

Robbie would have looked a hell of a lot better than Willie Harris...

He signed a 1 year deal. Not sure about how much money. If he's relatively healthy and plays like he's capable they might be the best team in the division...

LOL...It's like Cub fans really believe last year was just bad luck. That 3-1 collapse against Florida had CURSE written all over it.

It amazes me how many people r jumpin on that Cubs wagon. It's like people fail to realize they won last year's central crown by a whopping 1 GAME. Houston and St.louis had MASSIVE injuries to their pitching staff last year, while the Cubs were pretty much healthy. Another thing people fail to realize is that the Cubs haven't had back2back winning seasons let alone back2back playoffs apperances in like 30 years. Oppurtunities like the one the Cubs blew last year don't come around very often. It's not like they're the Yankees who r there every year. As far as the actual team goes. Wood and Prior r studs. Can Zambrano repeat the year he had? He struggled the last month or so and in the playoffs. Clement is a .500 pitcher at best. They still don't have a 5th starter. What about Corey Patterson? How's he gonna come back? Sosa and Alou r older and on the downside. They're still weak at catcher. They helped their bullpen by signing Latroy. But will Borowski be as good? Will Farnworth ever revert back to his 2001 form? Houston and St. Louis have made pretty good addtions to their pitching staff. They already got Pettite and might get Roger to go along with Oswalt and Wade Miller. The Cards have made a few nice moves, plus I hear they're the favorites to land Greg Maddux. The Cubs should contend. But I would be SHOCKED if they won the division again...

Wait a 2nd? The Red Sox would get A-rod and Maggs? WTF?
