@Mercurial Outfielder - Whoa, whoa. Neither one of the articles about the luncheon were satire.

Last year’s luncheon was obviously better. Nevertheless, if it takes BCB two days to figure out the difference between fact and satire, it will have been worth it.

@Hohokam –

I don’t think Kerry Would have accepted a 1 year deal regardless. That is why Jim should have stuck the arbitration tag on Kerry. It wouldn’t have stopped him from signing with the Indians. And we would have had a Sandwich pick and the Indians 2nd rounder as compensation for all of KW’s DL time over the years. We are a club that hasn’t had a non-bust 1st rounder since Mark Prior in 2001. We need as many chances as possible to get one. Before Prior the last Non-Bust 1st rounder was…. Kerry Wood in 1995. That’s a bleak ass track record.

I know. . . just giving you a hard time. This part of the year is always boring and would have been nice to hear some indication of what may be ahead in the coming months

@aaron b - Do you really think that Kerry Wood would have been so willing to accept a one year deal with the Cubs if they hadn't signed Gregg. If you saw a job posting on career builder for your job, wouldn't you hold off asking for a raise.

To be honest, there wasn’t anything that juicy, anyhow, especially since I didn’t stick around for the post-game. You can imagine what was asked, and with the tampering rules being what they are, you can imagine how Hendry had to respond.
