So how many AL teams are left in this thing? You know who it is? The White Sox.

He's going to the Sox and he's going to hit for average, power and get on base as a DH. And he's going to tell tales of how great White Sox fans are.

It's going to hai.

One rumor is that it'll be to the Blue Jays for Lyle Overbay, who we would then flip to the Mets for Luis Castillo, or the Giants for Aaron Rowand, or the Mariners for Carlos Silva!

Bah, that's idiocy.  Bradley to the Jays for Overbay, Lee and Fukudome to the Giants for Rowand and Renteria, Theriot to second base, Fuld to RF.

Cameron's last deal was two years and $16 million.  Given that he's older now, I would figure that Hendry could probably get him for five years and $88 million, assuming he gives Cameron a full no trade clause.

That's an absolutely ridiculous contract Andy.  Why waste everyone's time with such nonsense.  There is no way Hendry is
dumb enough to give him a contract without a player option after 2 years.

I'm officially with Yeti on this. Just keep Bradley if these rumors are to be believed. None of these proposed trades are even remotely attractive.

Suck it up Cubs. Milton's a jerk. Big fucking deal. This isn't kindergarten.

Someone is stupid enough to sign Corey Patterson?

Scratch him off, Jim.

Corey will increase the speed at Tacoma, probably not Seattle.

Harden, Rangers agree on a one-year deal with an option for 2011, minimum value $7.5 million

Not that he was going to stay or anything anyway, but, you know, for your information.

For me, Harden is now the white Rondell White. I was excited as hell when the Cubs got him. He played well in spurts, well enough in fact to make me spurt. He was either injured or kinda sorta hurt alot and couldn't really be counted on to do too much. The whole experience ended up being a big fat zero. He went to a team I didn't hate. I'll continue to like the guy and follow his career so long as he doesn't end up on the Cardinals, Astros, Brewers, Reds, Pirates, Mets, Marlins, Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Rockies or Diamondbacks.

Actually, it's a minimum of $4.0mm with $3.5mm in innings pitched incentives.

He got guaranteed half of what an arbitrator would have guaranteed.

Letting Harden go has been the Cubs second best move of the offseason.
