Don't get me wrong I would love if we would spend that kind of $, but that is not going to happen. Also, I have a soft spot for the Tigers, who helped ignite the Brewers after being no hit in Detroit the to go 24-10 after that.

The Cubs have not bought the best available. Soriano is the first big free agent we acquired. 1st,second, ss, 3rd have all been developed they were not superstars when we got them. Zambrano, Hill, Marshal, Marmol, Cherry, Petrik, theriot, Pagan, Fontenot, have all spent time in the Cubs farm league. The Cubs have developed some very good pitchers and are now focusing on some fine position players. We are not even close to how the Yankees and Sox acquire players. I wish we were though.

Go Cubs

But your other 2 top players with big contracts (Ramirez,Lee)were traded to Cubs in salary dumps by small market teams.

I don’t believe D lee was a salary dump He sop Choi had a bright future at the time, and almost made the Cubs look stupid the way he played the first couple months with the Marlins. Ramirez was virtually a no name when we got him he really developed with the Cubs imo.

GO CUBS!!
