Milton the Cub

[knapplc]

They only need to be healthy in October. They can have their DL stints here and there throughout the season and the Cubs will survive - heck, they'll probably win the Central again with 100 games from Bradley and 20 starts from Harden.

It's the postseason when we need these guys. That's what this trade and any future trade is for.

I love the addition but not the contract. Did they really have to pay 10 mil per?

[Pogotheostrich]

He's what the Cubs need if he stays healthy. It is a bad contract but the Cubs are going for broke and the Tribune is trying to sell the team.

Odds are that Harden and/or Bradley is going to get hurt, right?

Ah, but who goes down first???

None I like this addition. He brings a good bat, but a bad temper. Him and Lou will get along great

Lou vs. Milton, that will be fun to watch.

3 year 30 mil for the head case that is Game Boy??? No thanks, Turrible sign just turrible. A good player when healthy, but 30 mil in his pocket? Game Boy is going to take a siesta.

Oh, I forgot about the Lou factor. You're right, this will be a very entertaining '09 Cubs season.

And so my dream of Milton coming to the Blue Jays ends...

Seems like an overpayment, though, especially when you consider the Burrell signing.

[Art Vandelay]

I have a soft spot for Bradley. I hope he can stay healthy for a full season.
