2007 Chicago Cubs Thread

It's time for another disappointing season. At least we have made an attempt to improve our team in the offseason.

Love the Cubs, have you ever seen Will Ferrell do Harey Carey on SNL? It's hilarious.

We made an attempt, but some of the dollars Hendry spent were reallllllllllly bad moves, IMO.

Soriano probably got too much money.

What other ones though??

There's no such thing as "too much money" in the MLB. For the Cubs, Red Sox and Yankees, money means nothing. Soriano was a good pickup.

Well, we picked up DeRosa, Soriano, Ward, Floyd, Lilly, Marquis, and the pitcher from the White Sox. Right now, this looks like our lineup(my guess):

CF-Soriano
2B-DeRosa
1B-Lee
3B-Ramirez
C-Barrett
RF-Jones
LF-Murton/Floyd
SS-Izturis

Our starting rotation:
Zambrano
Lilly
Prior
Marquis
Hill/Marshall/Miller/Guzman

I'd say we overspent on Soriano and gave Aram too much as well. Lilly got too much too. But this is a big market and either we overspend or we don't sign anyone.

Soriano and DeRosa are interchangeable as are Jones and Murton. I'd say the rest are pretty cement. Lilly and Prior can switch when Prior is healthy and Marquis could be the 5 man.

You don't think that Aram extension was a bit much?
