Common the cubs need miracles...They have 30 million a year in Disabled list money. Soriano will make it 55 million is DL money....

Not a dollar of this guarantees the staff doesn't spend half the season on the DL.

I'm Sick!

No chance AROD lands there, despite Piniella craving him .... now

Soriano at that price is a complete joke unless the Cubs are building a fantasy team.

He won't bat his weight with runners in scoring position.

Now I know how my father felt when Koufax and Drysdale were given over 100.000 a year...Ain't no living ball player worth the money that Soriano is getting....when will it end???

what a great pickup

Iceman · Nov 20, 2006

Hopefully he can do something about them teeth now. WOW!!!

TonyMar · Nov 20, 2006

Soriano could be a 50/50 guy for the Cubs...

I like Hendry's new approach here...The Angels coveted Soriano...the Phillies wanted to talk to him too...Hendry never allowed it to happen. Angels may be pissed off at the Cubs...their top two targets are off the board in Ramirez and Soriano.

Great move by the Cubs.

Thing is...he is number 5 on the list.

1. AROD 252mill for 10
2. Jeter 189mill for 10
3. Manny 160mill for 8
4. Todd Helton 141mill for 11
5. Soriano 136mill for 8

Soriano is coming into his prime right now...I would rather see the Cubs with Soriano and that contract than Helton and his.

JoeFalls · Nov 20, 2006

they should bring back Sammy, he would prob come back for abt 3.0 mill. that's chump change for the cubs.

don't get all excited, i'm joking. but if u wanna make some news and get people of riled up, u could start a rumor or something. Sammy says he's ready & Lou says he's open to the idea.

This should make Cub fans forget about Ryno.
