The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

[MAD]

Three fucking years?  Holy crap Jim Hendry is pathological.

I think I need to revise my Dead pool picks to include a "death wish" pick.  Fuck.

$5 million.. $5 million..

True, but...

THREE YEARS.

And in year three, he'll probably be earning $5 million.  Considering there's nobody in the system slotted to play CF anytime in the near future, this is a pretty good signing.

Okay I'm calming down.  Considering that Scotty Fabulous was rumored to be an option for CF is also allaying my ANGER.

[Slaky]

Last year was the first time in Byrd's career he had over 500 ABs.

And guys in their 30s coming off career years are always solid free agent signings.

The Cubs will win the Central with their 97 year old OF (only because 86 wins should do it), and get curb stomped in the playoffs again.

Nope.

[CBStew]

In two years Marlon Byrd will be almost old enough to play outfield for the Giants.

It'll be a little harder now that it looks like the Cardinals will sign Holliday, but that division is still very beatable.  The Cardinals have Carpenter (who will get hurt), Wainwright, and then nobody.  Plus, even with Holliday, they'll have a pretty week lineup.  The Brewers will never get anywhere until they find pitching.  And the rest of the division is a joke.  But, of course, they will be annihilated in the playoffs.

Nope.

Not because the Cubs are any good, but because every other team in the division is spectacularly shitty.

And Rick Ankiel.  Byrd was probably the best of what was left.  But, yeah, 3 years is PANKtarded.  Who was he bidding against this time?

The Cardinals didn't beat the Cubs, injuries did.

All of you are wrong.

The Cubs just waited too long to fire Gerald Perry.

Yeah.  Along with Aaron, Aaron, Kevin and Jim Hendry

[Slaky]

Byrd will make 6.5 million in 2012. 5.5 in 2011. 3 in 2010.

This is almost as good a deal for Hendry as last year's NYE move.

Yes, I think both moves will go down as "not bad." The 3 pitchers from Cleveland aren't terrible.
