Cubs GM meets with Rafael Furcal.
I am excited, but I bet Larry is about to wet himself.
Chicago Cubs: November 2005 Archives
Every day the Cubs spend signing relievers and back-ups and not closing deals to strengthen their swiss-cheese line-up I start feeling sicker and sicker. We have not a single star outfielder, but hey, we got John Mabry.
I'm not saying I have no confidence that Hendry will do something, but where's the urgency to snap up the guys who will score and drive in the runs that will win the games?
I had a weird dream last night.. the Cubs gave $11 million to a reliever I'd never heard of.
*shrug*
How about this for a starting rotation next year:
Carlos Zambrano
Roger Clemens
Mark Prior
Greg Maddux
Kery Wood/Glendon Rusch/Jerome Williams
And wouldn't Manny Ramirez look good in Cubby blue?
On the other hand, Johnny Damon is a free agent...
You've got a lot of options, Hendry.
Cubs give Glendon Rusch 2-year deal, chance to start next year.
This is a great move, Rusch has quietly been the Cubs most consistent injury-free pitcher next to Zambrano for two years now.
