| Re: Cubs Interested in Jim Edmonds
I'm fine with the move because it's low risk. If Edmonds sucks you just release him, he isn't going to break the bank, he's getting paid 8 mil regardless if he plays or not from his Padres contract and the Cubs are not on the hook for that tab if he clears waivers.
Pie is very frustrating to watch. I love his defense but he is completely lost at the plate. Personally if trading Pie in part of a deal to land a solid player I wouldn't mind the risk because that player could potentially make an impact this season when the Cubs have one of their best shots at ending this 100 year streak. I'm not getting to far ahead of myself, it's early but there is some nice talent on this team and another solid bat and a decent pitcher to add to the rotation and this club has patched up its holes. The offense has already shown when they are hot they are going to be tough to beat. I think they've only lost 1 game so far this season when they scored 4 or more runs.
