Cripes!!!
Written by wrigleyville

I've been hearing some frightening news around the Interwebtubes that the Cubs are interested in "exploring the signing" of Jim Edmonds. I, as well as all of you, knew as soon as you heard that the Padres had released Edmonds that Jim Hendry would be all over his jock. True to form, Hendry has bought out the local Krispy Kreme in celebration of Jimmie clearing waivers on Wednesday. Maddog thinks lots of things, but of this I think he is spot on. I'm not sure about the Khalil Greene thing, except that the Padres may be looking to retool sooner rather than later, and that could lead to them blowing up the whole thing if their losing ways continue. Also, it doesn't seem like Lou envisions a future for Felix Pie with the Cubs. Felix isn't doing much to help his cause, either. Of Jim Edmonds: he was one of the best outfielders in baseball. He was a feared hitter. He used to have range. Hell, I used to be all of those things as well. Then I woke up. Jim Edmonds is terrible. He has a sub-.180 average. He can't get to anything hit not directly at him. This is a bad idea, Jim. And, since I know for a fact that Lou reads this blog, here's what the Cubs should do to immediately solve their CF problem (I'm going to get blasted for this, but what else is new?): Do whatever it is you plan on doing with Pie to get him off the roster, recall Thunder Matt to play RF and move Fukudome to CF. You'll still have Reed Johnson to fill in at all three outfield spots, especially for the liability of Murton's defense in RF. For some reason, this has always occurred to me to be Plan B since the Fukudome signing, and especially since Thunder has yet to be traded. Or, there's always that Griffey guy. In which case Fukudome will most certainly still move to CF. Or, that Lofton guy. DISCLAIMER: This post is not meant for a panic, wet-the-bed handwringing about Felix Pie. The Cubs have won four in a row and looked good doing it. This is, however, definitely a breathless reaction to the notion of signing Jim Edmonds. Please, for the love of all things baseball, don't sign Jim Edmonds, Hendry. Don't make me hate you even more.
