Cubs sign Byrd

3 years, $15 million. Byrd will most likely patrol center with Fukudome moving back to right.

Not many guys would commit $15 mil to a light hitting OF who is worth about -4 runs defensively vs the average CF for his 32-35 YO seasons, but not Jim Hendry. He scoffs at conventional logic that says you should save your money for good players and and instead burns through his budget like an NBA player at a strip club.

As long as the Cubs and Giants continued to be run with such incompetence

I shall be a very happy man.

I wonder if Sabean has buyers remorse over Rowand?

Not the remorse normal people would have that he wasted so much money on an averagish CF, but that the Rowand contract is keeping him from acquiring a couple other aging, averagish on the downside of their career players. If he didn’t have Rowand he might have been able to overpay Bay, Damon, DeRosa and Uribe this off-season, with the possibility of even more dreck to come.

Well, they did sign DeRosa, and Uribe is supposedly signing soon.

Bay they missed out on, and Damon they still might get!

Damn, I was hoping they'd get stuck with Podsednik

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Stuck?

He was signed by the White Sox last season to a minor league contract and ended up being a starter and hitting .304/.353/.412.

I wish the Brewers would get “stuck” with a guy like that.
