The Cubs made a freaking awful trade today.

**pyrocyz** · 01-28-2009, 01:20 PM

Is anyone looking forward to the World Classic...

I was looking at the rosters the other day and there are some loaded teams. That isn't even counting Japan and the other asian teams where the players don't play in America.

I think that this will help me to get through the winter.

I like Jesse Smith, but he does seem a step slow in pass coverage.

White Sox, repeat Central Champs in 2009.

Jesse Barfield could pry play MLB much better.. Take that any way you want..

I don't know the contract situations of the players involved, but at first glance, I liked the trade that the Cubs made.

All offseason I was thinking Manny would end up back with the Dodgers. I still think that will happen, but I hope we don't get the Manny that left Boston. If he doesn't get the kind of contract he wants, I'm afraid that's just what we'll get. Boras is really trying to convince people there are a lot of suiters for Manny. Too bad not many people are buying. My guess is Manny will end up with a 3-year guaranteed contract from the Dodgers somewhere around his $25 million/year asking price.

I don't see the Dodgers offering Manny more than the 2 yrs $45mil they offered in Nov/Dec. No one else wants him.

The headaches that go along with signing him (such as the antics) aren't worth paying the $25 million/year for his services - well, for most teams anyway...
