He's off to Baltimore pending a physical.

With the steriod testing going on, Sosa will be the incredible shrinking man.

If he fails the physical, I'm going up there and capping his ass.

I guess you're a real what-have-you-done-for-me-lately type, eh?

In this case, most definitely.

The saga needs to end.

Can't say as I blame you. I think it would have been a disaster for the Cubs if he'd stayed.

SHIT!

An Aubrey Huff to the Cubs for Farnsy and the Orioles' prospects (among others) trade is being bandied about a bit.

That'd be nice.

For the Cubs to have a chance this year they had to move Sammy. Prior, Wood, Walker all spoke out about Sammy. While I will wiss his production, I think its best to move on and get what you can.

The Cubs will pay half of Sosa's 2005 tab, about 7 mil, thus saving them 15 mil over the next two years.

Now what I have heard is that Chicago will take the prospects they get from Balt and make a trade for Huff.

Harriston Jr. is a 2nd baseman but can also play left, plus he's a lead off guy the Cubs really need. If he can play left, and the Cubs can swing a deal to get Huff, this is a good deal for the Cubs, and I'll be very happy.

If they sit on this deal, and we have to sign some old dude like Burnitz (sp) I'll be pissed.

Hairston can play left? Kickass.

He played in the outfield some last year. He's fast, and is a lead off guy too.

Hoover · 01-29-2005, 07:50 AM

From the Orioles web site

Suffered through a second consecutive injury-filled season...Missed the first six weeks with a broken right ring finger sustained in Spring Training. He returned to the lineup, emerged as a solid outfielder and then sustained a fractured ankle diving for a fly ball on Aug. 17, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season...Did sock a homer in a 6-4 loss to the Yankees on July 31.

Not a surprise at all, I hear that everytime his name was mentioned at the annual Cubs convention in Chicago everyone boo'ed.

Sure-Oz · 01-29-2005, 09:55 AM

I heard they wanted to trade him to the Royals but wanted Affeldt and another prospect, we didn't budge thank goodness. I would've loved to have a power guy like him but not for what the cubs wanted.
