Looking to Make a Change

The Chicago Cubs are coming off their worst season, 66-96, since 2002 when they went 67-95, and they realize that they had to make some changes. They got rid of Dusty Baker and signed Lou Piniella, and beefed up their bats with the signing of Alfonso Soriano to an eight year deal. And during the winter meetings general manager Jim Hendry finalized a 4-year $40 million deal with left handed pitcher Ted Lilly from the hospital after Hendry had an angioplasty. Talk about getting the job done no matter what.

The Boston Red Sox signed Daisuke Matsuzaka for $60 million over 6 years. It sure would be nice to have had him come to Chicago, we could use some good starting pitching.
