He did? Guess I was wrong, thought it was the guy before him that brought them in.

Yep, concerts in the streets, major parts of the city shut down for days. Mass herds of people walking down the express ways into the city just to get there and be a part of it. It's going to be a once in history event on planet Earth and remembered until the end of time.

If either of these ever happen, I'm taking a week off work. Definitely plan on being in Chicago on clinch nights for the Cubs, or in Chicago for a Bears SB again.

Ya. In 03 they brought in Kevin Millar, Bill Mueller, Orlando Cabrera, Dave Roberts, and David Ortiz. In 04 Curt Schilling, Keith Foulke, Mark Bellhorn, and Terry Francona

Where's the love for Jed Hoyer? That guy had a lot to do with the Red Sox and Padres having really good minor league systems.

In 1 year the Pads went from a middle of the road/below average system to the #1 system in the MLB.

Probably just enough to make it even.

I honestly think that Soriano would be a steal of a deal for any American League team. Cubs would pay most his salary and he could be a good DH. I could see him hitting 30+ HRs in a place like Boston. His long, high fly ball outs that go right into the wind at Wrigley would go the short distance and over the green monster. Plus he could just concentrate on hitting because I know he has spent a lot of his time trying to learn how to play outfield. He is actually respectable there now, but better served as DH.

Also, if Hamilton doesn't resign in Texas, I could see it being a bidding war between the Cubs and Dodgers. Highly doubt the Red Sox and Yankees getting involved.

The Sox have no interest in Soriano at DH with Ortiz there.

I'd rather not pay a 31 year old recovering drug addict $20 mil a year for 8 years like he's going to get. We're just about to get Soriano off the books.
