Prediction of the Year

The day after the Cubs blew the Rafael Furcal signing, our friends over at Desipio made this bold predicition:

They'll make at least one panicked free-agent signing. Think Scott Eyre plus Bob Howry times the square root of Neifi Perez plus a billion. This one will be epic and lousy. I'd tell you who it's going to be, but even I can't conjure up a notion absurd enough to be accurate.

Three years and $16 million of Jacque Jones qualifies as epic and lousy in my book.
