    Re: Some Free Agent Rumors

    Somehow, are the teams in parenthesis the teams the player is likely to go to? Well, for Todd Walker, he's not going to San Diego for any reason. Unless you're looking at that one thing ESPN wrote up with SD's free agency prediction. Walker wasn't even mentioned. And for Ordonez (Rey?), I don't think he's coming to SD as well. And about the info put for Rod Beck, I'd like to inform you that Hoffman is healthy (he came back September) and the Beck is looking for a start... er, closing role somewhere else to get to 300 career saves, if he doesn't find one, then he'll gladly sign with the Padres to be a set-up man.

      You know what has been bothering me? Why Cubs fans want to go out of their way to get a first basemen. They already have Randall Simon who can hit practically anything, and what I see to be a power bat just waiting to develop: Hee Seop Choi. Why get Sexson or Snow at first on their lineup when they made the mistake of using three first basemen last year anyways? newsflash: you do not need three of them. Focus on Second, Short, and another quality arm for the Rotation. Then and only then can you even begin worrying about a 4th outfielder IMHO.

      Choi tends to either walk or strike out. Simon does not get on base, and Kelton is not ready for the big leagues. I wouldn't mind sticking with Choi so long we get a new catcher, second baseman, and short stop. Unfortunately, Hendry doesn't plan on signing any new top players for a "long time" as quoted on the Off Season Cubs special a few weeks ago.
