santo=dorf Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hendry has always loved Soriano. What was the point signing DeRosa again? Soriano would rather play CF instead of second? He should do well in that ballpark, but what's his motivation going to be after getting this kind of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I hate having to face him 6 times a year, but I love this signing. Embrace another era of K's and poor defense. Maybe the Trib wasn't far off in advertising Sammy's come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 ESPN Radio 1000 is reporting that the Cubs and Alfonso Soriano have agreed to an eight-year, $136 million contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Remember last off-season when many of us (including myself) argued that Sori wasn't worth the $10M he was going to receive? We may have been wrong for a single year, but 8?! with a 70% raise?! Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Terrible signing, but the Cubs are in great position in their division now. I can't wait for Cubs fans to start planning their World Series parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is Hendry done in the FA market though or in the trade market trying to improve his starting rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's going to convince the Trib to throw him another $100 million to get Zito or Schmidt? s***, they've probably tapped out all of their reserves given to them, and they're offering Matthews or Pierre $10 million a year.

They don't need Lilly considering they have a perfectly good meatball producer in Cotts to take his place for cheaper. $51 million to talk with a pitcher, and now 8/136 for a guy that is 31 and had outliers across the board last year (in his pay year nonetheless). What's next? No, seriously, I want to see an even dumber move than the aforementioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
