Those seats are $300 a game. And you have to buy season tickets. And you have to buy 5 years of season tickets.
300*81*5=$121,500
$121,500-20=121,480. You're almost there

I voted for the Dodges - they don't have any pitchers.
Then you haven't looked lately. Samardzija, Colvin, Hoffpauir, Vitters, Pawelek, Papelbon, Veal these are the ones that I thought of off the top of my head. And I didn't include guys like Rich Hlll, Sean Marshall, Cedeno, Murton.Quote:
Do the Cubs really have the prospects to get a guy like Sabathia? I don't think so.
Truthfully I would rather have Rich Harden from the A's than Sabathia anyway
Samardzija is untradeable (he has a MLB contract at 1 mill+ a year),Hoffpauier is 28,Pawelek has never pitched above A ball,Papelbon is well,a low upside guy,Veal is interesting BUT would be an extra piece rather than a deal clincher.
Hill is at A ball trying to discover where the strike zone...Marshall/Cedeno/Murton are all utility/extra parts rather real prospects so it comes down to Colvin & Vitters who are 2/3 years away & the Cubs are unlikely to deal LAST year's #3 overall.
In reality they don't have the MLB READY talent of say the Dodgers (Ethier or Kemp plus an upside arm like Withrow or McDonald) or the Yankees (Hughes plus a Tabata or Miranda/Gardner)
I'll agree with that but he said spects not MLB ready playersQuote:

Well the Indians needs are at the higher end of the spectrum not the lower end as their A/AA stock (see BA for this) is extremely loaded THEIR real need is a player ready to help in 08/09/10 at worst.
The CUbs unfortunately don't have that deal breaker like we saw with Carlos Gonzalez/Adam Jones/Cameron Maybin of last off season....that was the point I was making comparative to say the 2 teams' mentioned above.
Well not RIGHT behind home plate but around that area. I checked before.Quote:
