I hear that the deal involves a no-trade clause as well.

Here's to 5 years with a super-star that won't throw his back out when he sneezes.
best news i've heard in awhile!!

I hated Lee for how well he played for Florida in the play-offs a couple years back.

Lee and Pudge both killed us that year. Both were unstoppable.

PREDICTIONS FOR TODAY'S GAME: (w/o knowing conditions)

A-Ram goes yard.
Cedeno has a monster day.

CUBS 0 - REDS 3

HR: Griffey Jr., Dunn, Arroyo

Bronson Arroyo with his 2nd HR of the season already. Dang!

This message is for Greg Maddux (who I hear checks these boards daily):

I believe that tomorrow is your 40th birthday, and I just want you to know that you didn't look a day over 30 on that mound today. Thanks for always being there for me. I love you. Can we finally meet in person?!?.....What is your MySpace! We were meant to be together forever!

prediction:
1b-lee 315/42/116
2b-walker 306/19/76
ss-cedeno 280/7/55 (obviously, not sure about this one)
3b-ramirez 302/38/120
of-jones- 270/5/43 (not sure about this one)
of-pierre- 280/4/60 ...lots of runs and stolen bases
of-murton 290/29/88 break out year!
c-barrett 285/22/70

only 2 real stars, but a lot of really good all around hitters! i cant wait to see what cedeno and murton can pull off

you might be a little off on this one. barrett's already got 3 HR and 13 RBI. I'll say .282 / 28 / 82

He's killin' the ball right now.

i hope you're right! he has the potential to hit 30...and not in a rick wilkins kinda way either.

what do you think murton will do? he's kind of the wild card right now.

7WetCigarettes · Post by **7WetCigarettes** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 12:58 pm

I think he will be steaky. He has the potential to be one of the premier young guns in the league, but I think it might be little too soon. Don't get me wrong. I love the guy, but I think he will be .279 / 22 / 72

He's gonna be real good.

Predictions for Zambrano?

I think 20-5 / 2.31 ERA / 210 K CY YOUNG

actually that is a prayer to God.

zambrano could be the pitcher you describe above...and im sure he will be, soon as the cubs trade him to the braves. oh god.

id say....16-9/2.70/210k no CY yet, but probably an all-star

i NEVER forget.

...by the way, wtf ever happened to cd landrum? something like 27 stolen bases in 30 at bats...never to play again? i figured he'd become the best pinch runner ever.
