Please, No

Burried in the Sun Times today was this little nugget.

What Cubs fans must know is that no major deal is coming -- unless you really like (Orlando) Cabrera, who could sign the multiyear contract with the Cubs that he doesn't want to accept as an Expo.

I've got no problem in trading for Cabrerra. I have a big problem with signing him to a multi-year deal. With Nomar Garciaparra and Edgar Renteria coming on the market this fall, Cabrerra is by far the third best option.

Getting Renteria would be the best for the Cubs all around as he massively upgrades the offense and defense at the short stop position, and massively downgrades the position for St. Louis.

Jim Hendry! Go easy on Cabrerra!
