-Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune says that the Cubs have spoken to Rich Aurilia and may offer a one year deal to take Ronny Cedeno's spot and back up Aram and Lee. We have heard this before this off season and I think Aurilia would be a great pick up. I also think Doug Mientkiewicz and Nomar Garciaparra would be a good fit.
- Here is a tidbit from Paul Sullivan's article-
Hendry will meet with the new owner of the Cubs as soon Tribune Co. completes the sale. He'll then find out whether he can find a way to fit Jake Peavy's $63 million contract into the Cubs' budget.
- As far as the Randy Wolf rumors, I just think the Cubs should go with Sean Marshall in the rotation before they sign Wolf. Here is my top 6 pitchers they should go with-
1. Jake Peavy
2. Andy Pettitte ( would only take one or two year deal)
3. Ben Sheets ( would take one or two year deal)
4. Kenny Rogers ( one year deal maybe minor league with invite to ST)
5. Odalis Perez ( one or two year deal)
6. Pedro Martinez ( one year deal)
Other than those I think you have Marshall, Gaudin, Guzman, and Hart battle for the 5th spot.
That is it for now, I will keep you updated!

maybe if the Cubs sign Aurilla they can then have a reason to trade cedeno in the Peavy deal
if we cant get Peavy I will want the Cubs to go after Sheets he is still consider an ace who started the all star game and he hasnt have alot of arm injuries in his career
and the Cubs probably could sign Aurilla to a 1 year contract worth around 1 to 2 million
and also The Rickeets family said they will take on the contract of Peavy so if they are the new owner Peavy will probably be a Cub on opening day so that will be good news
what do you guys think of that
Waldo Sheets has been injured in 05-06-07 he should be a maybe. Wolf in the last 5 years, 120 innings is his best. Rogers is 44 years old and sucked the last 2 years. Martinez is to old and been injured the last 3 yrs. But i do like Peavy, Pettitte and Perez. Otherwise let Marshall start and sign a lefty relif pitcher. Just my opinion
The Cubs have sign OF So Taguchi to a minor league deal
we sign So Taguchi to a minor league deal.. i dont know if he helps at all but at least its another bat
Do you know how to get my blog so popular like yours

Waldo,
I would love to read your blog, especially if it is cubbie related. If you could send me the site address I will give it a look.
To get your blog popular is to adveritse and do self promotion on message boards. I use to be just a guy who put down his thoughts on cubs.com and prosportsdaily.com then I ran across blogger.com. I started blogging my thoughts and rumors here and advertised on the sites and message boards that are related to the Cubs( please note, you will get both positive and negative remarks when you do this, just do not take it personal)
If you are lucky like I am you will get dedicated readers, posters, and contributers to your site like I have over the years I have been doing this. I even have good sources that tip me off on things once in a while!
Remeber getting followers can be a slow process but advertise and self promote on other blogs, sites, and boards as much as you can.
Good Luck Blogging
Make Sure You Give Me That Site Address!
