i dont care if his 10 million is deferred, the fact is you are paying 10 million to a guy in a non contending year when you could have signed or traded for a cheap rental player.

Trade=Give up Prospects
LaRoche didn't want to be a Cubs
Lee isn't coming back

Who could they have signed?

Maybe, I guess. Colvin is a really good defensive OF though, so it may be hard to move him to 1st, especially if his future is as an OF. But that would be ideal with Jackson coming up between May and July.

Wasn't Kotsay bad enough on the South Side?

1) overbay- he will command about 6-8

2) davis-as a back-up yes, starter no

3) colvin- couldn't take the chance that he can't play

4) aram- does not want to play 1B

5) kotsay- **** off!

anything that wont cost 10 million

Also, if he plays good (which I see) and the Cubs are out, he can be tradeable.

Fuld can't HIT. He's a player to come into the 7th inning for Fonzie.

Use Fuld in the outfield as a fourth OF. then Colvin could get more ABs cause hes really the one you what getting ABs in the MLB. right now Colvin is stuck behind Soriano, Byrd, Fukudome. Doing that gives Fuld a chance to get a few more ABs and maybe he could do something, he has only 131 ABs with a .252 Average, u gotta give someone a chance

Actually, Fuku is stuck behind Colvin.
